    Case Study: Eminent Domain

    As previously stated, Midland's installation of the pipeline, and its potential to provide natural gas service was likely to spur growth, as well as provide the town with an advantage in attracting new industries making these opportunities for the public benefit of the citizens of Midland. Therefore, in this case, the court concluded that Midland’s condemnations were not undertaken to provide a solely private benefit. In addition, the Court of Appeals of North Carolina held that Midland lawfully exercised its eminent domain power, thus, the ruling of the trial court granting summary judgment in favor of Midland was affirmed (Town of Midland v Morris,…

    Flq Crisis Research Paper

    Later the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Commission or Berger Commission was formed and led by Justice Thomas Berger and it listened to Aboriginal concerns by holding hearings. In the year 1977, it recommended that the construction of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline be suspended for a period of 10 years. This was to conduct an environmentally based study and negotiate with native peoples about self-government, financial compensation and various other issues. In the end, construction was postponed longer and in 2009 the federal government made the decision not to invest in the pipeline. At the time the price of the pipeline had gone up to 16.2 billion dollars so the projects was set aside without government support. The commission was even opposed to the building of the pipeline because it would build a line across the northern Yukon, which had a delicate environment. The environmental issues posed by the pipeline allowed Canadians to come together on an issue that affected all of them. By hesitating and allowing a commission to inspect the pros and cons of the pipeline, the Canadian government’s relationship with the Natives became more friendly and diplomatic. The Native peoples gained more of a voice on countrywide problems and their communication with the government was increased because of this pipeline. In the end when the pipeline didn’t go through, the…

    River Plan Too Fishy

    The topic that the article, “River Plan Too Fishy for my Taste Buds” by Bill McEwen shows a lot of credibility by proving the plan of going on with the river rights project should not be allowed and I chose this because McEwen convinced me throughout his article. He showed me his credibility and he can be trusted with all the experience he has. His article can be trusted because it was published in the Fresno Bee, March 26,2009. He publics this because he believes the project is unhelpful or meaningful. The city of Fresno is hard working not that wealthy. It is also one of the fastest growing population country with a usual weather of high temperature. On the other side the other article was published in The Sacramento Bee, April 26,2009. Meanwhile…

    Partnership for Onondaga Creek Holds Meeting

    The partnership sent a representative to the I-81 meeting, who was asked to post comments on the public boards, regarding the future of the I-81, on behalf of the non-profit organization. As Peter King, the representative, was absent at the assembly, Aggie Lane conveyed his ideas. She said that King’s concerns revolved around insuring environmental justice on this issue. King told her that people living in the Pioneer Homes neighborhood of the South Side weren’t giving input to the state Department of Transportation and the Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council to decide what to do with I-81 at the end of its functional life in 2017. The reason being that both governmental agencies weren’t doing outreach to the South Side community, she added. Further concerns for King were that there was no health impact assessment of the alternatives to I-81. For instance, on the urban heat island effect of laying more concrete and asphalt where units of Pioneer Homes stand now.…

    Orono Community Case Study

    Referred to as “The Lakeshore City,” Orono, Minnesota is 16.1 square miles of rolling green hills, glistening lake-line, and Midwestern fundamentalism is considered a haven to its 7,796 residents. The members of this community boast some of the flashiest educations, highest incomes, healthiest lifestyles, and most expensive homes in the state of Minnesota. The assembly of wealth in Orono combined with values that emphasize education, safety, and integrity is a recipe for a nationally recognized school system, low crime rates, and a high standard of living for all citizens. According to the City of Orono, the community’s philosophy is to “Protect and preserve our many natural resources and open spaces. Preserve our distinct urban and rural land use patterns and lifestyles. Preserve our local character and identity.” The wealth and strong values of Orono,…

I knew the regulatory side of public drinking water, but it has been good to understand the community perspective as well. Combining this experience with my time at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, I feel like I have learned both sides of caring for a community’s drinking water…
