This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is required to inspect bridge structures for presence of bats prior to repair, maintenance, or removal. Many bridges inspected do not contain bats, but evidence of bat presence can result in project delays, added costs, and increased impacts to listed species. This study aimed to facilitate understanding of bat use of ODOT bridges and to develop a predictive model to improve planning efficiency. Study objectives included identifying characteristics making bridges more or less likely to contain bats and using results to create a priority ranking system for future bridges inspections to avoid negatively impacting roosting bats while potentially avoiding project delays.

Book Synopsis Use of Innovative Technology to Deter Bat Bridge Use Prior to and During Construction by : Basak Bektas
Download or read book Use of Innovative Technology to Deter Bat Bridge Use Prior to and During Construction written by Basak Bektas and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White-Nose Syndrome and increased disturbance of habitats used by bats for roosting and foraging has led to a growing concern about the U.S. bat population over the last decade. Bridge repair and replacement projects are required to follow additional regulatory requirements to avoid and minimize impacts to bats, when protected bat species are present on bridges. Some of these requirements (e.g., timing restrictions) are challenging to implement given Minnesota’s short construction season. The objective of this project was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of deploying non-lethal ultrasonic acoustic devices in the field to temporarily deter bats from roosting on bridges ahead of construction or maintenance activities, while minimizing harm to bats and non-target species. The technology was evaluated at two test sites in Minnesota, one short-term and one long-term, during the summer of 2019. Considering the findings from both the acoustic monitoring data and the field inspections, acoustic deterrents appeared to effectively work to temporarily deter bats from select abutments. This report presents the field study design, findings from the field implementation, research benefits, and implementation steps for the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT).

They discuss the ever-increasing danger bats face from destruction of habitat, wind turbines, chemical toxicants, and devastating diseases like white-nose syndrome, which is killing millions of cave bats in North America. Illustrated species accounts include range maps and useful identification tips. Written by three of the world’s leading bat experts and featuring J. Scott Altenbach's stunning photographs, this fact-filled and easy-to-use book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date account of bats in the U.S. and Canada.

There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career.

Book Synopsis Urban Stormwater Management in the United States by : National Research Council
Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.
