Traduction de «water-level conductivity » (Anglais → Français) :

the levels of certain high-risk substances are below the threshold values set by EU countries; at the very least, this must include arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, ammonium, chloride, sulphate, nitrites, phosphorus (total)/ phosphates, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, as well as conductivity (the water’s electrical conductivity enables the concentrations of the various minerals dissolved in it to be measured).

In the case of already-operating distribution networks, Member States shall set the deadlines within which the analyses must be conducted, on the basis of the volumes of water distributed and the level of potential risk, both for natural radioactivity and the radiological impact of human activities.

35. Stresses that effective prevention requires consistent monitoring of strict adherence to the highest standards and practices in well-bore construction and maintenance; considers that well completion reports should be submitted by operators to the competent authorities; underlines that both industry and competent authorities should ensure, at all stages, regular quality control for casing and cement integrity, as well as baseline groundwater sampling to control the quality of drinking water, conducted in close cooperation with drinking water providers; points out that this requires significant human resources and technical expertis ...[+++]e on all levels;

Question No. 140 Ms. Kirsty Duncan: With respect to development of the oil sands, its impacts on the environment and surrounding communities, and the economic effects of these impacts: (a) what, if any, steps has the government taken to establish air emission limits or air quality standards to achieve the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guidelines to protect air quality and human health; (b) what, if any, steps has the government’s sector-by-sector approach taken to regulate carbon emissions in the oil sands to ensure the oil sands industry makes appropriate reductions in its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to contribute to Canada’s GHG emission reduction goal of 17% below the 2005 level; (c) what, if any, studies has the governmen ...[+++]t undertaken to examine the effect of the oil sands expansion on (i) GHG emissions, (ii) Canada’s ability to meet its GHG emission reduction goals, (iii) Canada’s contribution to the goal of staying below a 2°C increase in global average surface temperature, relative to the pre-industrial level, as articulated at the G8 meeting in L’Aquila, Italy and at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations through the Copenhagen Accord in December 2009 and the Cancun Agreements in December 2010, (iv) the full suite of sustainability criteria, including environmental, economic and social sustainability, and (v) what were the results of any studies identified in (c)(i), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), and (c)(iv); (d) what, if any, studies has the government undertaken to examine (i) the scope of oil sands expansion if the oil sands sector is not required to deliver its proportional share of GHG reductions, (ii) the impacts such a decision would have on other sectors’ allowable GHG emissions, (iii) whether other sectors of the Canadian economy would have to do more than their proportional share to reduce emissions, (iv) what were the results of any studies identified in (d)(i), (d)(ii), and (d)(iii); (e) what, if any, studies ...

(Return tabled) Question No. 512 Ms. Christiane Gagnon: With respect to analyses of the water supply system conducted at CFB Valcartier as of 1970: (a) what level of trichloroethylene (TCE) has been found for each year as of 1970 and for each well; (b) has the quality of the drinking water been assessed; (c) how often have analyses of this system been conducted; (d) did these analyses include the chemical characteristics of the water; and (e) what entity is responsible for maintaining and monitoring the findings?

Rather than wrestle with obtuse notions of asymmetrical threats and fluctuating international terrorist threat levels, I shall address the question under the assumption that, to meet the broad security objectives I mentioned earlier, essentially in the context of exercising control over Canadian waters and being able to make the ports secure, the government needs to be able to do are the following. First, apprehend, quarantine, if necessary, and search any vessel and its cargo, including people; second, conduct underwater searches of ships, berths and access channels; third, conduct explosive ordnance disposal, EOD, operations; fourth ...[+++], control all movement on the water and ashore within the confines of a port or in a specified coastal area — that is, basically shut down the system, which may be necessary; fifth, transport specialist teams, such as JTF2 and the RCMP teams, to remote locations and offshore installations; sixth, provide physical security for buildings, structures and facilities, such as land line terminals, bridges, locks, radio stations and all the infrastructure that makes the shipping system work; seventh, gather, analyze and disseminate intelligence and operational information; and finally, detain and interrogate suspects.
