A
Training Opportunity Provided by the Department of Health, Clean Water
Branch - January 27 - 29, 2009
The Hawaii Department of
Health, Clean Water Branch (CWB) invites you to participate in a training
opportunity. We have sponsored this same class in the past and received
excellent feedback on the material presented. Most attendees believed
it was time well spent. Further, with the EPA’s recent focus on proper
documentation of QA/QC procedures in all environmental projects, including
Data Quality Objectives, it would be beneficial to learn more about the
planning process. CWB recommends that anyone involved with environmental
projects understand the planning process, and develop the capability to
implement this process satisfactorily. We have scheduled the class
to ensure that everyone will have sufficient lead time to plan in advance
to attend.
Course:
Managing Uncertainty with Systematic Planning
Date:
January 27 to 29, 2009
Location: 919 Ala Moana
Blvd., 5th Floor Conference Room
Honolulu, Hawaii, 96814

The cost is $1195.00 per
attendee. However, there is a discount for early registration if
payment is received at least on or before December 27, 2008 ($895 per attendee).

Universally
Accessible Environmental Designs - Tuesday, April 15, 2008, 2:30-4:00 pm,
Oahu Room
This
workshop is designed for rehabilitation specialists, architects, engineers,
and project managers. We will explore how simultaneously designing to benefit
the disabled while incorporating a site’s unique character gives all individuals
the opportunity to experience the program mission.
-
Review
the historical development of barrier free design standards, including
the rationale behind construction limits. Features work done at University
of Illinois following World War II to accommodate returning injured soldiers.
-
Focusing
on the mission allows everyone to experience the mission. Features the
USS Arizona Memorial site and describes the fine tuning of the built environment
so the mission of remembrance can reach people with varying sensory and
physical skill levels.
-
Barrier
free design does not have to fundamentally alter the mission. Features
Keahole Airport and shows how to convey the Hawaiian culture while making
a site accessible.
-
Creative
design and construction accommodations can preserve the mission for everyone.
Features Parker Ranch as an example of how to pull together design and
construction to meet barrier free compliance, while preserving a unique
historical theme.
-
5Access
for all can expand your mission. Features Kealia Pond and Wildlife Refuge
as an example of a win-win situation in which using accessible design both
protects sensitive environments and extends services to a wider base of
visitors.

information about this specific workshop, go to the Universally
Accessible Environmental Designs Workshop website.

COPRI
Solutions to Coastal Disasters Conference - April 13-16, 2008
Turtle
Bay Resort on Oahu, Hawaii
Solutions
to Coastal Disasters Conferences are must-attend conferences for coastal
planners, managers, social scientists, engineers, geologists, biologists,
economists, oceanographers, meteorologists, property owners, elected officials
and others interested in the coast. The Solutions to Coastal Disasters
Conference series was developed to provide formal and informal venues for
the exchange of information, tools and ideas relating to coastal hazards.
This successful conference series has encouraged involvement by a broad
audience of coastal professionals for multi-disciplinary approaches to
coastal issues.
The
Coasts, Oceans, Ports and Rivers Institute (COPRI) of the American Society
of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is pleased to announce that the next Solutions
to Coastal Disasters Conference will be held April 13-16, 2008 at Turtle
Bay Resort on Oahu, Hawaii. The conference program will follow the format
developed and enhanced by Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2002, held in
San Diego, California and Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2005, held in
Charleston, South Carolina. Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008 will start
with short courses and an opening reception; it will include plenary and
technical sessions, exhibits, posters, field trips, and social events that
encourage participant interactions. The Solutions to Coastal Disasters
events are held at coastal regions that provide interesting coastal learning
opportunities and attempt to find venues that make it easy for participants
to meet informally throughout the programmed event.
What’s
New in 2008: The first decade of the 21st century may well go down in history
as the decade of the coast. Global warming and climate change continue
to be important to coastal communities around the world, through concerns
about sea-level rise and changing storm and rainfall patterns. Coastal
disasters such as the Indian Ocean Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina and regular
new stories on coastal vulnerabilities heighten the focus on the need for
new approaches and solutions that can applied to the array of potential
future disasters facing the coast. Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008
will build upon the information and discussions that developed from earlier
conferences and focus on both the lessons learned and the opportunities
to best apply these lessons to avoid or minimize preventable losses. The
conference will provide opportunities for multi-disciplinary presentations
including lessons learned from the Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 2004,
from Hurricane Katrina, one of the worst hurricane seasons ever to occur
in the Gulf of Mexico and concerns and opportunities developing from the
fourth and most recent IPCC Report. Recent disasters have revealed the
vulnerabilities of coastal ecosystems and coastal communities, the interdependent
nature of coastal systems as well as the intense and conflicting pressures
that define human use of dynamic coastal environments. Solutions to Coastal
Disasters 2008 will encourage greater examination of the ecosystem dynamics,
vulnerability and ways to incorporate social and ecological solutions into
the discussion of coastal disasters.
The
Solutions to Coastal Disasters series has encouraged international, multi-disciplinary
participation. There is always a balance between involving more groups
in the conference program and maintaining a participant size that fosters
interdisciplinary discussions. Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008 will
continue its effort to seek sponsors and exhibitors who will add beneficially
to the conference experience and will work with national and international
coastal organizations to make more coastal professionals aware of the conference
event. Please help in this effort by distributing information on the conference
to friends and colleagues.
For more details and to register,
go to the COPRI Solutions
to Coastal Disasters 2008 website. Registration is on-going.

Environmental
and Water Resources Institute (EWRI) World Environmental & Water Resources
Congress 2008 in Honolulu, Hawaii - May 12-16, 2008
ASCE Hawaii Section is a
sponsor for the World Environmental & Water Resources Congress 2008.
The theme is "Ahupua'a: Environmental and Water Resources Technology
for a Sustainable Future from the Mountains to the Sea"
Ahupua‘a - Ancient
Hawaiian life was based around the ahupua'a system of sustainable land
management. An Ahupua'a was a watershed-based, political land division
extending from the surrounding mountain ridges to the coastal ocean extending
out to and including the coral reef. The ahupua'a system evolved
to protect the upland water resources that were a life-sustaining gift
from the gods to be used wisely and conserved by all Hawaiians.
This Congress has become
an important annual opportunity for the best minds at work in water and
environmental fields to convene and focus on key topics of today. In this
time of climate changes and shifting resources, it is vital that those
working at the forefront of our professions share their ideas and insights
from research and experiences in the field, to generate the best practices
for the future. EWRI invites your full participation!
Anticipated Attendance: More
than 1,000 water resources planners and environmental professionals and
engineers are expected to participate in this year’s Congress.
Become a Sponsor! Contact
Marcia Saumweber, ASCE Foundation, at msaumweber@asce.org

Become an Exhibitor! Contact
Jeff Sandersen, ASCE, at jsandersen@asce.org
or tel.: (703) 295-6107.
This Congress will focus
on sustainability issues related to water resources and the environment
in more than a dozen technical tracks covering local, national and global
issues with special focus on the Pacific-Rim Region.
