Research and Field Work Undertaken Clause Samples

Research and Field Work Undertaken. An environmental assessment is a process that provides regulatory agencies with a better understanding of a project’s possible environmental impacts and identifies ways to mitigate against those impacts. The environmental assessment process is executed early in project planning which enables environmental factors to be identified that may influence development decisions and detailed engineering. It is in part a planning tool, the underlying intent of which is to ensure that all works associated with the project's construction, operation and decommissioning are executed in a manner that results in minimal harm to the physical, ecological and socio-economic environments. Work with respect to Xstrata’s interests on the Donkin peninsula were instigated in 2006 and research, field programs and consultation have been ongoing since that time. The programs and the ongoing surface water monitoring at the DEVCO settling pond and Baileys wetland were designed at the outset to address requirements associated with the dewatering of the two subsea tunnels. Subsequent field programs were executed primarily to establish environmental baseline data. The environmental baseline data presented in Chapter 4 draws heavily from this original work, but has been augmented by work undertaken to address: ⮚ Comments made by the regulatory agencies in response to the draft environmental assessment document submitted to NSE in November 2007; and ⮚ requirements specific to this Project. In combination, the resultant environmental and socio-economic database provides an enhanced profile of conditions on the Donkin peninsula and facilitates the identification of the VECs and socio-economic issues subject to evaluation. The investigations and/or surveys that have been undertaken include: ⮚ definition of ecological habitats and vegetation patterns; ⮚ definition of freshwater aquatic habitat; ⮚ analysis of habitats for species of concern; ⮚ ground-truthing to verify breeding and migratory bird data compiled by local naturalists over many years; ⮚ execution of a bat field program; ⮚ execution of an odonata (dragonfly) field program; ⮚ execution of an archaeological survey; ⮚ execution of a hydrological field program; ⮚ establishment of ambient noise levels; ⮚ establishment of ambient air quality; ⮚ execution of a Mi’Kmaq Ecological Knowledge (“MEK”) study; and ⮚ execution of a traffic impact study. The programs undertaken are described below.

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.

  • Collaboration activities 4.1 The Collaboration Suppliers will perform the Collaboration Activities and all other obligations of this Agreement in accordance with the Detailed Collaboration Plan. 4.2 The Collaboration Suppliers will provide all additional cooperation and assistance as is reasonably required by the Buyer to ensure the continuous delivery of the services under the Call-Off Contract. 4.3 The Collaboration Suppliers will ensure that their respective subcontractors provide all cooperation and assistance as set out in the Detailed Collaboration Plan.
