Legal Implementation Mechanisms Clause Samples

Legal Implementation Mechanisms. US EPA has identified a Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) variance as the appropriate federal mechanism that will be used to implement this project. The legal provisions found at Section 1415(a)(3) of the SDWA give US EPA the authority to grant a variance from a treatment technique: “upon a showing by any person that an alternative treatment technique . . . is at least as efficient in lowering the level of the contaminant with respect to which such requirement was prescribed.” US EPA Region 5 proposed a variance for Columbus based on implementation of an alternative treatment technique that will be at least as efficient in lowering the level of lead as LSL sampling and replacement.6 US EPA Region 5 intends to issue the variance as soon as practicable, taking into account public comment on the proposal. The variance will become effective only if the City adopts a treatment change, and the treatment change results in an exceedence of the lead Action Level. Columbus will not be considered to be “operating under a variance” unless and until the variance becomes effective. The alternative treatment technique involves closer coordination between Columbus, OEPA and US EPA on water treatment changes as explained below, while allowing Columbus to adjust its existing drinking water treatment, to establish the most effective level of lead treatment in conjunction with its other water treatment processes, so that the entire treatment process will provide the same long-term benefit of protecting the citizens of Columbus as LSL sampling and replacement would. An added benefit is that Columbus has agreed to fund the LSCP at the rate of $300,000 per year. To ensure that the alternative treatment technique is as effective as possible, and provides at least an equivalent level of protection as the existing regulations, extra measures will be taken to ensure its effectiveness. The City will consult with experts in the field of lead treatment, as well as the OEPA, and US EPA Region 5. Consultations will involve optimizing the City’s current treatment, based upon the best technical judgment of the relevant experts. Columbus will implement treatment changes (as defined in the Glossary of Terms) only with the concurrence of the State. Finally, Columbus will carefully monitor levels of lead in the system, and take immediate steps to attempt to reverse any trend towards higher lead levels. Columbus will report monitoring results to OEPA and US EPA Region 5 as specified in Section VI....

Consultative Committees may be set up on larger projects for this purpose. The Consultative Committee will operate for the purpose of continually assessing the efficiency of working arrangements, monitoring the outcomes of this Agreement, coordinating training activities and sharing pertinent information.

  • Rights Protection Mechanisms and Abuse Mitigation ­‐ Registry Operator commits to implementing and performing the following protections for the TLD: i. In order to help registrars and registrants identify inaccurate data in the Whois database, Registry Operator will audit Whois data for accuracy on a statistically significant basis (this commitment will be considered satisfied by virtue of and for so long as ICANN conducts such audits). ii. Work with registrars and registrants to remediate inaccurate Whois data to help ensure a more accurate Whois database. Registry Operator reserves the right to cancel a domain name registration on the basis of inaccurate data, if necessary. iii. Establish and maintain a Domains Protected Marks List (DPML), a trademark protection service that allows rights holders to reserve registration of exact match trademark terms and terms that contain their trademarks across all gTLDs administered by Registry Operator under certain terms and conditions. iv. At no cost to trademark holders, establish and maintain a Claims Plus service, which is a notice protection mechanism that begins at the end of ICANN’s mandated Trademark Claims period. v. Bind registrants to terms of use that define and prohibit illegal or abusive activity. vi. Limit the use of proxy and privacy registration services in cases of malfeasance. vii. Consistent with the terms of this Registry Agreement, reserve the right to exclude from distribution any registrars with a history of non-­‐compliance with the terms of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement. viii. Registry Operator will be properly resourced to perform these protections.

  • Implementation Plan The Authority shall cause to be prepared an Implementation Plan meeting the requirements of Public Utilities Code Section 366.2 and any applicable Public Utilities Commission regulations as soon after the Effective Date as reasonably practicable. The Implementation Plan shall not be filed with the Public Utilities Commission until it is approved by the Board in the manner provided by Section 4.9.
