Podcasts about waterways

A warning has been issued that the inclement weather forecast for the weekend poses unique dangers in Clare's coastal areas. There's been a 10% increase in drownings so far this year and ahead of the June Bank Holiday Weekend, the Irish Coast Guard, RNLI and Water Safety Ireland are urging the public to take extra precaution in and around the water. Water users are being advised to check the weather and tides, be aware of rip currents, swim with others, wear a buoyancy aid and let someone ashore know your estimated return time. Lifeboat Press Officer with Kilrush RNLI, Charlie Glynn, says having local knowledge is essential.

Donna Usavage and Jane continue their series of podcast episodes featuring inspiring individuals who understand the importance of reciprocity.

Waterway runs near Route 9 projects A mining company's proposal to build a cement plant on Route 9 just north of Philipstown is drawing concerns about risks to Clove Creek and the aquifer beneath it, which supplies drinking water to several municipalities. Ted Warren, public policy manager with the Hudson Highlands Land Trust, joined Philipstown residents in expressing reservations to the Fishkill Planning Board during a May 8 public hearing. Century Aggregate wants to add the 8,050-square-foot plant to its 310-acre property at 107 Route 9, as well as 11 parking spaces, a well to supply 10,000 gallons of water daily and an on-site septic system. The portion of the property was formerly occupied by the Snow Valley Campground. The plant would operate from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 6 p.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, the firm said. Vehicles would use an existing bridge over Clove Creek, a protected waterway that snakes through the property. Along with concerns from residents about truck traffic, noise and dust, and endangered and threatened wildlife such as the timber rattlesnake, Warren said newly paved surfaces risk sending contaminated runoff into the creek, to the detriment of water quality and fish. "Given the increase in extreme precipitation events that we are facing these days, and the fact that the proposed plan is located at the base of steep slopes, the potential for storms to overwhelm the proposed containment and drainage systems during heavy precipitation events should be closely examined," he said. Century Aggregate's daily withdrawal of 10,000 gallons of water could also affect the creek and its underlying aquifer, said Warren. The aquifer parallels Route 9 from East Mountain Road South to the town border with Fishkill. Its groundwater feeds private wells that supply residents and businesses along Route 9, the towns of Fishkill and Wappinger, the Village of Fishkill and Beacon. "The dust and the pollution that's going to come from the operating of that plant is going to definitely have an impact on the environment, the creek and the living conditions of businesses and houses," Carlos Salcedo, a Philipstown resident whose property on Old Albany Post Road borders the creek, told the Planning Board. Clove Creek's waters bisect the front and back parts of another property where a proposed project is raising concerns: 3070 Route 9, whose owner is seeking Planning Board approval to convert the former Automar into a gas station with a convenience store and Dunkin'. Clove Creek flows north toward Fishkill about 50 yards from the front of the property. The owner, Misti's Properties 3070, notified the Philipstown Conservation Board in March that it had decided to revise its proposal. An engineer for Misti's told the board that the owner found "substantial environmental impacts - a lot of earthwork" and other conditions that would make it difficult to construct a planned office building and solar farm. Andy Galler, chair of the Conservation Board, said on Tuesday (May 13) that the previous owner used fill and allowed old vehicles and other debris to accumulate within the 100-foot protective buffer required for watercourses and wetlands. The abandoned vehicles have been cleared, he said, but the fill remains, along with a bridge connecting the front and back sections of the property. The bridge is "not ideal" because it constricts the creek's flow, he said, and could spur a blockage from debris carried during heavy rainstorms. "The ideal situation would be, if somebody is going to develop the front part of the property, that hopefully the giveback is that there is some remediation to put back a flood plain area that would be natural and native," said Galler. Despite continued industrial development along Route 9, the creek is "amazingly intact" and rated by the state Department of Environmental Conservation at "just about the highest standard" for water quality and trout habitat, he said. "It runs clear," said Galler.

On this week's program, we share a community conversation about Senate Bill 89 before the Kentucky Legislature. The Kentucky Waterways Alliance (KWA) organized this SB 89 Town Hall because Senate Bill 89 will remove historical protections of Kentucky's waterways by redefining what counts as "waters of the Commonwealth" to include only navigable waters. This would remove all protections for groundwater, ephemeral streams and wetlands, and headwaters in Kentucky. Listen in to learn about the impacts of this legislation. Speakers include: Michael Washburn (KWA), Nick Hart (KWA), Audrey Ernstberger (Kentucky Resources Council), Julia Finch (Sierra Club Kentucky Chapter), Lane Boldman (Kentucky Conservation Committee), Chuck Davis (Beaver Creek Hydrology, Lexington), Davie Ransdell (retired coal mining regulator), and Dr. Michael Flinn (Murray State University). Learn more at https://www.kwalliance.org/news/sb-89-impacts-on-the-waters-of-the-commonwealth Last week SB 89 saw some forward movement: the bill was assigned to the House Committee on Natural Resources & Energy.

In this clip of Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings delve into some fascinating and controversial geopolitical topics. The hosts kick things off with an intriguing examination of former President Donald Trump's interest in strategic territories like the Panama Canal and Greenland. Rashad provides a history lesson, detailing how the U.S. came to control the Panama Canal, underscoring the canal's critical role in global trade. The conversation highlights the historical importance of waterways and how controlling them has always been paramount for the world's most powerful nations.Rashad emphasizes that Trump's seemingly outlandish statements about taking over Greenland and Panama aren't random; they are rooted in strategic objectives centered on waterway control. The discussion moves to global warming and the emergence of new trade routes due to melting ice caps, revealing how these changes will influence future geopolitical maneuvers. Other key issues covered include the importance of controlling trade routes and how this correlates with saving costs on transportation via expedited routes.Troy adds to the dialogue by explaining how controlling these waterways can significantly benefit trade and the global economy, which is why countries like Russia, Canada, and China, apart from the U.S., are eyeing these regions. The conversation isn't just about land grabs; it's an economic and strategic game that has been played for centuries.Ian underlines how the U.S. has the highest levels of pollution among major countries, noting the genetic defects and cancer rates resulting from it. He discusses how having access to cleaner land and water could be especially beneficial for the nation's elite.The hosts also speculate on Trump's aggressive foreign policy proposals, debating which of these might actually materialize. Ian suggests that Greenland might be the most likely to see some form of deal due to its political openness to such conversations, while military action against Panama seems less feasible.The episode doesn't shy away from discussing the racial and geopolitical implications of these moves. Rashad and the team point out the disparities in how Trump talks about Greenland versus Panama, hinting at deeper socio-political undertones.As the conversation progresses, they discuss how historical empires, including the U.S., Great Britain, and France, have grown through imperialism and territorial takeovers.
