Abstract
Bakersfield, California is located about an hour and a half North of Los Angeles and is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, San Joaquin Valley, Mojave Desert, and Sierra Nevada Mountains. The location of the city offers a wide variety of completely different landscapes in each direction. It is a perfect place for communities to grow and families to flourish, that is, if you enjoy breathing in toxic pollution. Unfortunately, the beautiful landscapes surrounding Bakersfield are covered by many, many oil drills. The oil fields surrounding Bakersfield are so large that they have turned the city into one of the most polluted cities in the United States. My Thesis explores a version of Bakersfield where the surrounding oil fields are replaced with renewable energy. As a way to reduce the number of renewable energy needed per community, I also studied walkable communities with Earth-Sheltered Homes.
The purpose of this work is to acknowledge the issue of burning fossil fuels and how it directly relates to a community and it’s culture. Since Bakersfield is known for it’s road culture, my goal throughout my Thesis has been to introduce the residents of Bakersfield to this new, clean, and healthier way of living while protecting their culture and preserving the key elements of it’s past.

Abstract
Ozone Layer depletion has come to be known as one of the most serious environmental problems. In the year 2000 the Ozone Hole has been the deepest ever recorded. The depletion in the Ozone Layer in the stratosphere provokes an important increase of biologically effective UV-b doses received at the Earth Surface creating a high risk for living species. The Antarctic and its polar circle are completely exposed to the hole produced by the photochemistry of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Nowadays, the Ozone Depletion is beginning to affect inhabited areas being the southern extreme of Chile and Argentina known as the Patagony the most affected zone around the world.
The consequences of Ozone depletion and the increment of UV-b radiation have a big impact and incidence in the health of humans in the Patagony. A high UV-b radiation is able to produce and promote several types of skin cancer, damage the immune system, produce cataract and other eye damage, increase the risk of allergies, provoke toxic dermatitis and activate some illness produced by bacteria and viruses.
In this study, a three-layer back propagation neural network was developed incorporating the significant meteorological variables to estimate the impact of ozone layer depletion on skin cancer in the Patagony. At this time, Punta Arenas in Chile and Usuahia in Argentina are the locations where skin cancer incidences are the highest reported in the world.
The forecasting was made for the next fifty years predicting the chlorine concentration in troposphere and stratosphere, the thickness of ozone layer around the Patagony measured in Dobson Units and its percentage of depletion, and the incidence of this depletion on the main types of skin cancer. The Montreal Protocol and its amendments of London and Copenhagen were assumed as the three possible scenarios.
The results show that the chain model is completely applicable to this prediction and indicate that 2010 will achieve the maximum tropospheric chlorine concentration if the London and Copenhagen amendments are accomplished. The ozone layer thickness according to the actual conditions is decreasing every year, but considering a complete compliance of the Montreal Protocol it would be possible to recover the original value. In this sense, special consideration must be given for austral spring period (especially during October). It is known that in this month a diminishment of 100 -120 DU Jess than the media can be normally found. Respecting to the influence on skin cancer, independent of the scenario or the type of cancer, it is clear that the maximum damage will be produced the next fifty years with an increment of 75% on MSC by 2050 over the actual values if the people keep their life styles.
One of the great results is to realize that this model prediction can be very accurate with a correct parameter election. The system was checked with the real data obtained by satellite in 1994 and for Ozone Depletion and Chlorine concentration the model had a statistical error of 3.2±2.0% and 6.7±3.1% respectively.
Finally, the Chilean government knowing this situation has the opportunity to apply an efficient preventive plan in order to minimize the risk and try to keep the lowest effect on skin cancer and other diseases for the next 50 years.

Abstract
Solid waste management is a major problem in Jamaica. As an underdeveloped country we are lack the technologies and methods to properly manage solid waste on the Island. Without the proper technology or methods the disposal of waste will pose serious health and environmental risks. This study evaluates the quantity of the waste generated, how it is dispose of, the health and environmental impacts, how to reduce waste, and also the proper methods of waste disposal that should be used.
Approximately 945,496 tons of waste are generated a year across Jamaica. About 60 percent of the waste that is generated goes to the major dump sites. This 60 percent is a co-mingling of waste that can easily pollute the environment; the other 40 percent that is not accounted for could cause dangerous problems such as, flooding when the waste is illegally dumped in roadways and blocks up storm water drains.
The best method to improve solid waste management in Jamaica is to develop new landfills and to close the open dump sites presently used today. With improved landfills the sites can be monitored for conditions such as methane gas, leachate, storm water system, groundwater, etc. With monitoring systems put in place, the environment can be protected and public health improved.

Abstract
The next logical market I believe is commercial buildings located in utility territories with high peak rates and with air-conditioning loads. The installation of rooftop solar panel arrays offers the unique feature of providing shade to the roof surface while the sun is generating electrical energy from the photovoltaic effect of the panel.
The implication of this shading factor is a reduced air-conditioning load, smaller air-conditioning equipment installed, and avoided utility power purchased in excess of the power generated from the panels equal to the air-conditioning power reduction.
The analysis in this study was completed for both northern ( 40° north latitude) and southern (30° north latitude) locations in the U.S. The results show that the southern location benefited by an additional 9% in avoided electrical purchases and had the effect of reducing the price of the solar power by 10% when the AC reduction was included in the analysis. The resulting 19.24 cents/kilowatt-hour is competitive in some utility markets when compared to peak energy cost.
PV solar electricity has the unique property of providing power when traditional peaks occur, as the sun causes peak air-conditioning loads. There is an additional benefit in that the panels provide power to the customer without consuming valuable transmission and distribution capacity. The social benefit of using solar in a grid connected arrangement is that the daily peaks are reduced, requiring less generation from peaking generators, Amongst the dirtiest of all emissions from electric generation. The overall benefits of solar generation are documented throughout the report. The quantification of the air-conditioning benefit will be a useful tool in justifying PV solar in some applications and should help expand their use.

Abstract
In 1988 the State of New York enacted the "Long Island Landfill Law". This legislation was passed to protect the quality of the sole source aquifer system that provides Long Island its public drinking water supply. The technical requirements of this act are specified in Title 6 of Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York Part 360 Solid Waste I \ I ) i I ,( II I Management Facilities. In simple terms, the sanitary landfills operating on Long Island were mandated to cease accepting waste, old landfills required to be capped with a final cover system that minimizes entry of precipitation to the waste mass and, hence retards conveyance of leachate to the groundwater; or a new landfill required to be constructed of a double composite liner, providing the landfill is sited in an acceptable location.
This report summarizes site investigations specified for landfill closures under 6 NYCRR Part 360 2.15 Landfill Closure i I requirements. The document·explains the approach, investigative techniques and findings on explosive gas migration potential, ground and surface water qualities. These results are preliminary only, and no official action should be determined from the findings.
The consulting engineers of Maguire Group/Young & Young are preparing the engineering reports and designs required under the Part 360 Regulations. It is noted that this report is for following a general procedural approach to site audits and investigations; the results, findings and conclusions cannot be accepted as final or binding.

Abstract
The Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. is engaged in the generation and distribution of electricity, natural gas and steam in New York City and parts of Westchester County. In order to distribute electricity efficiently it has more than 275,000 underground structures in its distribution system. 1 These structures consist of manholes, service boxes and transformer vaults. Utility workers must enter these structures to maintain electrical equipment and electric cables and wires. Liquid and solid debris can accumulate in these underground structures and Con Edison must clean them out so those workers can safely work there.
Specialized trucks known as flush trucks were used to spray clean water into manholes and then pump the water out into a holding tank on the truck. The flush truck could then go on to the next structure and repeat this function except now the water contained debris from the previous job. The flush truck was introducing contaminated water into a manhole that may not have had those contaminants. This contaminated water was brought to one of five flush truck facilities located in New York City. When a flush truck arrived at one of the flush truck facilities, water was decanted into a sedimentation basin to allow solids to settle. The water was then discharged into the New York City sewer system. The solids were unloaded and allowed to dry. They were then sent to an off site disposal facility.
In 1992, samples of the solid debris indicated that some material exceeded the hazardous waste limit for lead. Con Edison realized that it was transporting hazardous waste without the proper permits. The Company notified the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and entered into an Administrative Order of Consent. The Company developed a plan to remove this hazardous waste from underground structures and to properly dispose of it.
This report discusses the waste found in the underground structures in the Bronx and Westchester County and the alternatives considered in its removal and disposal. A newer type of flush truck called a Vactor truck is now used because this truck never mixes clean and contaminated water. Vactor trucks have a large vacuum, which can remove dry debris from a manhole so less water is necessary to clean a structure. During the last year, 582 tons of solids and 508,000 gallons of liquid were removed from underground structures in the Bronx and Westchester. The applicable laws and regulations are discussed, as are the contaminants of concern. This paper discusses alternative methods considered to remove the waste, the method chosen to remove and dispose the waste, the rehabilitation of the Hellgate flush truck facility in the Bronx, and the continuing problem in disposing the liquids. Vactor trucks are used to vacuum solid debris in the structures and then clean water is used to flush the structure. This water is now vacuumed into the truck and transported to Hellgate where it is later disposed of.

Abstract
In the past century, fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas have caused serious health problems for the United States of America. It has spread toxic air pollutants and ashes, that covered most buildings, rivers, and agricultural farm lands. Presently, fuel cell research and development is the best available control technology being carried out to reduce power plant smoke emissions. This new technology releases zero emission, air pollutants; moreover, it runs on a renewable energy like hydrogen or methane. When combined together they release water vapor through chemical reaction inside each fuel cell. In the transportation sector, fuel cells provide power for heavy duty trucks, light duty pickups, buses, and cars.
Fuel cells are also capable of powering residential heating systems; for the utility power plant mdustry, fuel cells are used to control smoke stacks-emi-sswns,ancl---------- help monitor air pollution. Moreover, fuel cells on today's market are expensive to manufactured as one disadvantage. Because of design, size, work related, operating efficiency, and temperature rating. While the good news about fuel cells, it uses renewable energy like Methane Hydrogen and Oxygen, Gasoline, or Ethanol. Fuel cells can also be used to power hospitals, computers, police stations, and was once part of NASA Space Program, which provided water for all astronauts, etc. As for the most common types of fuel cells used they are: alkali, Molten Carbon, Phosphoric Acid, and Solid Oxide. In addition, this fuel cell report will cover Laws & Regulation, Economics, Future Trends, Government Programs and Incentives.
Lastly, the summary report will cover future markets, trends, benefits, and other reasons why fuel cells is America's best choice on how to control air pollution, greenhouse gases, and acid rain.

Abstract
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution around 1860, more CO2 has been released into the atmosphere at an ever increasing rate. The theoretical result of this increase in atmospheric CO2 is a temperature increase at the Earth's surface or "global warming", Temperature measurements recorded at over 2000 meteorological stations throughout the world indicate a warming of about 1°c over the last century. Theory indicates a higher rate of warming but this result is difficult to determine by means of atmospheric data and hence the topic of global warming remains controversial. A recently proposed method to determine the extent of global warming is to measure the velocity of sound in the oceans via long range underwater sound propagation experiments. Since sound velocity in the ocean increases by 5 meters per second for a rise in temperature of 1°c, this change could be readily detected. An assessment of this method is the primary topic of this thesis. The conclusion indicates that it will take many years of effort before the extent of global warming is unequivocally determined.
