Notes the Commission‘s preliminary assessment on the EU environmental legal framework applicable to hydraulic fracturing; urges the Commission to use its powers regarding proper transposition and application of key EU environmental acts in all Member States, and issue without delay guidance on the establishment of baseline water monitoring data necessary for environmental impact assessment of shale gas exploration and extraction, as well as criteria to be used for assessing impacts of hydraulic fracturing on groundwater reservoirs in different geolog ...[+++]ical formations, including potential leakage, and cumulative impacts;

Question No. 140 Ms. Kirsty Duncan: With respect to development of the oil sands, its impacts on the environment and surrounding communities, and the economic effects of these impacts: (a) what, if any, steps has the government taken to establish air emission limits or air quality standards to achieve the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guidelines to protect air quality and human health; (b) what, if any, steps has the government’s sector-by-sector approach taken to regulate carbon emissions in the oil sands to ensure the oil sands industry makes appropriate reductions in its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to contribute to Canad ...[+++]a’s GHG emission reduction goal of 17% below the 2005 level; (c) what, if any, studies has the government undertaken to examine the effect of the oil sands expansion on (i) GHG emissions, (ii) Canada’s ability to meet its GHG emission reduction goals, (iii) Canada’s contribution to the goal of staying below a 2°C increase in global average surface temperature, relative to the pre-industrial level, as articulated at the G8 meeting in L’Aquila, Italy and at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations through the Copenhagen Accord in December 2009 and the Cancun Agreements in December 2010, (iv) the full suite of sustainability criteria, including environmental, economic and social sustainability, and (v) what were the results of any studies identified in (c)(i), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), and (c)(iv); (d) what, if any, studies has the government undertaken to examine (i) the scope of oil sands expansion if the oil sands sector is not required to deliver its proportional share of GHG reductions, (ii) the impacts such a decision would have on other sectors’ allowable GHG emissions, (iii) whether other sectors of the Canadian economy would have to do more than their proportional share to reduce emissions, (iv) what were the results of any studies identified in (d)(i), (d)(ii), and (d)(iii); (e) what, if any, studies ...

Agriculture and forestry are the main economic sectors able to capture the CO2 produced by human activities, to accumulate and store carbon in the soil by acting as reservoirs, and to fix carbon in plants through photosynthesis.

Whenever a hollow-bore needle is used on a patient there is a risk of a needle-stick injury that could lead to a serious infection of a healthcare worker because the hollow-bore acts as a reservoir for the patient’s blood or other body fluids.

They have suffered from the drought caused by the weather and from the water shortage, because the reservoirs that ought to act as a safety net are already down to just 30 to 40% of useful capacity.

Water supplies to Vila Nova da Barquinha and Constância The elements of the feeder network which is intended to improve water supplies to the municipalities of Vila Nova da Barquinha and Constância and the military units of the Poligono de Tancos and the Santa Margarida training camp are as follows: - feeder pipes linking the water catchment to current and future reservoirs at Moita do Norte, Praia do Ribatejo, Alto de D. Luis, Constância, the valley of the Mestre and the Santa Margarida camp (about 37.5 km in length); - the Tancos reservoirs and th ...[+++]e control ponds at the three lift systems planned at Constância, Madeiras and near Santa Margarida de Coutada; - the three lift systems mentioned above, which will guarantee supplies to the reservoirs at Alto de D. Luis, Santa Barbara, Montalvo, the Mestre valley and the Santa Margarida camp; - a special study of the remote control and management system for the project from the Asseiceira water treatment plant.
