Urbanization has been linked to the degradation of urban waterways. The major pollutants found in runoff from urban areas include sediment, nutrients, oxygen-demanding substances, road salts, heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, pathogenic bacteria, and viruses. Suspended sediments constitute the largest mass of pollutant loadings to receiving waters from urban areas. Construction is a major source of sediment erosion. Nutrient and bacterial sources of contamination include fertilizer usage, pet wastes, leaves, grass clippings, and faulty septic tanks. Petroleum hydrocarbons result mostly from automobile sources.
To the extent practicable, post-development peak runoff rate and average volume are maintained at levels that are similar to predevelopment levels.
New developments required to obtain NPDES permits are not subject to this management measure.
WATERSHED PROTECTION/SITE DEVELOPMENT -- The purpose of these measures is to encourage comprehensive planning for development on a watershed scale and for small-scle site development as well, including planning and designing to protect sensitive ecological areas, minimize land disturbances and retain natural drainage and vegetation whenever possible.
CONSTRUCTION EROSION/SEDIMENT CONTROL -- The purpose of this measure is to reduce erosion and transport of sediment from construction sites to surface water. A sediment and erosion control plan should be developed and approved prior to land disturbance. This measure applies to construction sites of less than 5 acres.
CONSTRUCTION SITE CHEMICAL CONTROL -- This measure addresses the transport of toxic chemicals to surface water by limiting the application, generation, and migration of chemical contaminants (i.e., petrochemicals, pesticides, nutrients) and providing proper storage and disposal.
EXISTING DEVELOPMENT -- This measure addresses reduction of pollution loadings from already developed areas. Watershed management programs should be developed that identify the sources, specify appropriate controls such as retrofitting or the establishment of buffer strips, and provide a schedule by which these controls are to be implemented.
NEW ONSITE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS -- This measure addresses nutrient/pathogen loadings to surface water from new on-site disposal systems. The measure specifies that new onsite disposal systems (OSDS) are to be designed, installed and operated properly and to be situated away from open waterbodies and sensitive resources such as wetlands, and floodplains. Protective separation between the OSDS and the groundwater table is to be established. The OSDS unit should be designed to reduce nitrogen loadings in areas where surface waters may be adversely affected.
OPERATING ONSITE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS -- This management measure calls for policies and systems to operate and maintain OSDS so as to prevent surface water discharge and reduce pollutant loadings to ground water. It also calls for inspection at regular time intervals and repair or replacement of faulty systems.
POLLUTION PREVENTION -- This measure includes techniques and activities to prevent nonpoint source pollutants from entering surface waters. Primary emphasis is placed on public education to promote methods for proper disposal and/or recycling of hazardous chemicals, pet waste management strategies, management practices for lawns and gardens, OSDSs, and commercial enterprises such as service stations and parking lots.
SITING ROADS, HIGHWAYS, AND BRIDGES -- The measure calls for roads, highways, and bridges to be situated away from areas that are sensitive ecosystems and susceptible to erosion and sediment loss. The siting of such structures should not adversely impact water quality, minimize land disturbances, and retain natural vegetation and drainage features.
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR ROADS, HIGHWAYS, AND BRIDGES -- This measure calls for the development and implementation of an approved erosion and sediment control plan prior to construction, which would reduce erosion and improve retention of sediments onsite during and after construction.
CONSTRUCTION SITE CHEMICAL CONTROL FOR ROADS, HIGHWAYS, AND BRIDGES -- The measure limits toxic and nutrient loadings at construction sites by ensuring the proper use, storage, and disposal of toxic materials to prevent significant chemical and nutrient runoff to surface water.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FOR ROADS, HIGHWAYS, AND BRIDGES -- This measure provides an operation and maintenance approach designed to reduce pollutant loadings to receiving waters during operation and maintenance of roads, highways, and bridges.
RUNOFF SYSTEMS FOR ROADS, HIGHWAYS, AND BRIDGES -- This measure specifies development of runoff management systems to reduce pollutant concentrations in runoff from existing roads, highways, and bridges. Runoff management systems should identify priority pollutant reduction opportunities and schedule implementation of retrofit projects to protect impacted areas and threatened surface waters.

Badgers Wrestling Notebook: No Zander Wick for Michigan trip
Badgers wrestling
Nate Woelfel
The Wisconsin wrestling team heads east this weekend to tangle with No. 8 Michigan and Michigan State.
But, according to the latest newsletter from UW head coach Barry Davis, the Badgers will continue to be without the services of Zander Wick, the No. 17 wrestler in the nation at 149 pounds.
Wick has been out of action since the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational Dec. 1-2, an event which he placed seventh in.
Since then, the redshirt sophomore has missed three duals as well as the Midlands Championships.
Early last month, Davis told Talking Badgers that Wick's absence was injury-related, but would be "good to go" in the near future.
When asked for an update on Wick, a UW representative stated that the coaching staff "does not want to comment on Zander's status."
For now, it appears that redshirt sophomore Cole Martin will be asked to answer the call. He sports a career record of 30-24 as an attached wrestler, including a 3-10 mark in dual meets.
Martin, who usually competes at 141 pounds, made his debut at 149 last weekend. He suffered a 19-7 loss to No. 4 Ryan Deakin of Northwestern.
The Badgers ultimately dropped the dual with the Wildcats by a count of 18-14. It was their first loss of the season.
Martin's two opponents this weekend will likely be Michigan's Malik Amine (10-7) and Jwan Britton (9-8) of Michigan State. Martin's season record stands at 11-7.
Latest InterMat Rankings
Three Badgers earned recognition in the latest InterMat rankings which were released Tuesday.
Evan Wick (165) continues to hold the highest national ranking of any UW wrestler. He kept steady at No. 6 in this week's rankings.
Ricky Robertson held tight at No. 9 at 174 pounds.
The aforementioned Zander Wick is No. 17 at 149.
As a team, the Badgers are No. 23 in both the dual and tournament rankings. Wisconsin slipped four spots in the latest dual rankings after suffering its first loss of the year, an 18-14 defeat at the hands of host Northwestern last Friday.
Ruschell to coach at Lindsey Wilson College
An announcement came Wednesday that Former UW grappler T.J. Ruschell agreed to join the coaching staff at NAIA Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky.
Ruschell, a Kentucky native, was a four-year starter for the Badgers from 2013-14 to the 2016-17 seasons.
Lindsey Wilson is currently ranked No. 9 in NAIA by InterMat.

Badgers outlast Hoosiers for second straight win
The University of Wisconsin wrestling team has a new head coach.
On Saturday, UW tabbed former South Dakota State front man Chris Bono as the 16th head coach in program history.
The nation-wide coaching search came to a head just hours after Friday night's application deadline.
Hey #Badgers fans, we've got big news!
Help us welcome Coach Bono! #OnWisconsin pic.twitter.com/j5Qpl6KgLS
— Wisconsin Wrestling (@BadgerWrestling) March 24, 2018
Bono was named Big 12 Coach of the Year this past season and coached the first national champion in program history.
In the last six years, Bono has coached five All-Americans. The Jackrabbits have had at least one NCAA qualifier in each season under Bono's guidance.
Prior to his stint in Brookings, Bono spent three seasons at the helm of Chattanooga. There he coached a pair of All-Americans and 19 NCAA qualifiers. The Mocs won three Southern Conference championships during his tenure.
Bono competed at Iowa State during his college days, qualifying for four NCAA tournaments. He won a national championship at 150 pounds and attained All-American status on three occasions.
In freestyle competition, Bono made the US world team on three occasions. He was a two-time freestyle champion and placed first at the World Cup in both 2002 and 2003.
Barry Davis resigns as head wrestling coach
Wisconsin wrestling head coach Barry Davis is stepping down at the end of the season.
That announcement came from the UW Athletic Department early Monday afternoon, just hours after the Badgers advanced seven of their 10 wrestlers to the 2018 NCAA Division I National Championships.
The move reportedly comes after a recent meeting between Davis and athletic director Barry Alvarez.
Davis, who has been the head coach at Wisconsin for the last 25 seasons, will remain onboard through the end of next week's NCAA Tournament.
During his tenure, Davis has coached 26 All-Americans and three NCAA champions. He is the winningest coach in program history, sporting a career dual meet record of 234-172-11. This season, Davis guided the Badgers to a 7-5 dual record and a 4-5 mark in the Big Ten.
The veteran head coach reportedly met with the team this morning to inform them of the circumstances.
A timeline on the search for Davis' replacement has not been announced. But a UW official confirmed that a national search will take place.
Associate head coach Trevor Brandvold and assistant coach Kyle Ruschell will remain on staff through the end of the spring semester to aid in the transition process.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
A strong team effort lifted the No. 20 Wisconsin wrestling team to a 19-16 win over host No. 13 Illinois in a Big Ten Conference dual Sunday afternoon.
Though each squad one five matches, the Badgers were able to pull the upset due to some timely performances.
Johnny Jimenez got UW (7-3, 4-3 Big Ten) off on the right foot as he upended No. 18 Travis Piotrowski 1-0 in the dual's opening match at 125 pounds.
It was the first conference win of the season for Jimenez who is now 2-6, 1-3 as an attached wrestler.
The Illini (7-4, 6-3) earned decisions in the next two bouts to grab a 6-3 lead heading to 149 pounds.
That's where Wisconsin's Cole Martin recorded a key pin, winning by fall over Eric Barone in 5:15. Martin's victory gave the Badgers a lead they managed to cling to for the remainder of the day.
Next up, No. 19 Andrew Crone scored his second win over a ranked opponent in a 48-hour span. The redshirt senior topped No. 20 Kyle Langenderfer 8-2 in sudden victory.
Crone is now 3-2 against Langenderfer at the collegiate level, including a 1-1 mark against him this season.
Illinois got back on track with a major decision from second-ranked Isaiah Martinez at 165 pounds. He topped No. 6 Evan Wick 14-6.
The match was the second in a string of three consecutive bouts against ranked opponents for Wick. He is set to face No. 11 Richie Lewis of Rutgers when the Badgers and Scarlet Knights tangle Friday.
Ryan Christensen restored order for Wisconsin with a major decision of his own at 174 pounds.
For the second straight dual, No. 9 Ricky Robertson faced a fellow top-10 foe. This time, he crossed paths with No. 6 Emery Parker.
Parker emerged victorious by a count of 9-4. That win brought the Illini back within three with two matches to go.
Sunday marked the second time the two had met this season. Robertson took the first meeting by a count of 3-1 in sudden victory back in mid-November.
Hunter Ritter pushed UW's advantage to six points courtesy of a 3-2 decision over Andre Lee.
That meant Illinois needed a pin at heavyweight to tie the match and force the dual meet to be decided by criteria.
For a brief moment, in the latter portion of the second period, it looked like the Illini were about to get their fall.
Deuce Rachal was able to put UW's Ben Stone on his back. But Stone fought to avoid the pin.
Facing a 7-1 deficit, Stone fought back to cut the deficit to two. While he fell 7-5, Stone's loss by decision preserved the dual meet win for the Badgers.
Wisconsin returns home to finish out the dual portion of its schedule. The Badgers host No. 16 Rutgers Friday before squaring off with No. 22 Purdue Sunday.

The evening's proceedings began at 165 pounds where No. 12 Isaiah White of Nebraska upended No. 6 Evan Wick by a count of 7-3 to give the Cornhuskers an early 3-0 lead.
UW's Ryan Christensen (174 pounds) knotted the team score a match later as he edged Beau Breske 3-2.
The back and forth affair continued at 184 pounds. Seventh-ranked Taylor Venz got the better of No. 9 Ricky Robertson in their top-10 showdown. Venz's 12-7 decision put No. 14 Nebraska (9-4, 7-2 Big Ten) back on top by three.
Wisconsin responded by way of Hunter Ritter who picked up a 9-6 win at 197 pounds to draw the team score back to even.
The Huskers grabbed the lead once and for all when David Jensen scored a pin at heavyweight, giving Nebraska a 12-6 lead at intermission.

Caress/Ache- Griffin Theatre Company
Posted by JoBradley on March 27, 2015 March 27, 2015
I was recently accepted into the Griffin Theatre Ambassador program, giving me the excellent opportunity to see a bunch of cool plays that I wouldn't have otherwise seen.
Our first session was last Saturday and I saw the world premiere of Caress/Ache- a new play by Suzie Miller.
For those who haven't heard of Griffin Theatre Company, they're based in Nimrod St, Kings Cross, and they produce plays that are only written, directed and acted by Australian artists (I do think the "Australian Artists" is a pretty wide spectrum, here).
Anyway, the play:
Firstly, the Nimrod Theatre is awesome- A very small intimate space fitting about 100. Even the back row is only metres away from the action- which is great for the engagement of the piece. In my opinion all theatre should be in a small scale environment- the intimacy and shared moments between actors and audience is an essential part of theatre.
Following on that point, the writer Suzie Miller mentions in the script that it could be done as a "chamber Piece or a large-scale piece". If you, like me, don't know what a chamber piece is, it explains so here. ("A film involving a small numbe r of characters interacting over a short period of time in a limited environment.")
The play is far from the "well-made play"- It features ten characters, and about six storylines, which all relate in some way – quite like Love Actually, but less comedy, more tearful silences. The interwoven storylines are full of variety in both character and context: A "lost" surgeon, The aftermath of an affair, A phone-sex company, A last goodbye.
It's difficult to explain what the play is actually about- the only connection between the varied story lines is the characters' relationship to, the concept of, touch.
The idea of "touching", (or Caressing, as the title says) is the recurring theme of this play, with characters relating to it in a variety of ways. From one's inability to touch skin, to illicit passionate touching, to the influence that words have over individuals. It reflects on the absurdity of intimate relationships without touch, and the heartbreaking consequences when such touch is banned among loved ones.
Each actor was very well cast; As an ensemble they were able to delve into the seriousness of the stories, while maintaining a surprising level of comic relief (particularly through the phone sex operators).
The set is minimal, suiting the small performance space. The props and costumes were used well. As the same five actors play multiple roles, the subtle changing of appearance (like the addition of a cardigan), helped the audience to realise the character change, without the need of elaborate costume. The minimal use of set, costumes and props allowed the audience to focus on the story, and the complex issues within the writing.
Throughout the play, a series of statements are displayed on the walls about touch, and the scientific explanation for the sensations we feel. The writing on the walls was a powerful staging choice; the words often fell over the actors' faces- a powerful visual effect.
"Human skin and tissues contain millions of sensory receptors. Without them, there would be no capacity for people to sense the touch of another".
This play was thought provoking, and stayed with me long after I'd left. Obviously the topical theme of Capital Punishment in society struck a nerve with the audience, However the play spurred us to consider much more. This piece explores how humans relate through touch, and the importance of touch in communication and relationships (It's been labelled "The Hug Play").
By taking an uncommon theme, and creating a play about it, Miller has forced the audience to consider the power of touch, free from preconceived ideas from other texts.
When we go to see a Shakespearean production, we know what to expect: A certain degree of Tragedy or Comedy (or both), and Blank Verse with Old English.
When we go to see a film about War, we know what to expect: A load of Patriotism, a grieving family, evocative depictions of PTSD, and tearful, yet heroic, death scenes.
Not often, however, do we go to see a production dedicated to the theme of "Touch". In this way, we have no expectations, and are able to embrace the story with an open mind.
The play was exceptional, the use of set, sound, surtitles, and short scenes, combine into unique experience makes you think. The nature of theatre is to share stories that give us a different perception of humanity, and this play certainly did so. Definitely worth seeing.
Caress/ Ache is on at the SBW Stables Theatre, in Darlinghurst, until the 11th of April.
Previous Post A Monumental Failure
Next Post Her.


This is the WikiHow article I wrote on dyslexia.
It has since been flagged for deletion, for reasons I do not understand. The information presented here is more valuable than what is currently available at WikiHow.
The content of the post is the same, but I've edited the presentation.
Before a person can understand reading failure or dyslexia, an understanding of spoken language and reading is necessary.
Spoken language is a "river of sound", in which one sound (or phoneme) blends sometimes seamlessly into the next. In order to acquire reading, a child must have grasped the concept that words are made up of smaller sounds (phonemic awareness) and that those sounds can be represented by symbols (the alphabetic principle).
Understanding reading failure or dyslexia.
Learning to read is not a function of intelligence or innate cognitive ability. People with mild intellectual disability (formerly known as mental retardation) can be taught to read accurately and fluently.
Know that difficulties in learning to read are not due to "seeing words or letters backwards". According to the cognitive neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene, almost children go through a phase of letter reversal and confusion of letters of similar shape such as b, d, p, and q. Explicit, direct and intensive teaching of the sounds of language, and how they are represented by letterforms, will eliminate these confusions. Persons older than eight who still have these confusions and reversals have suffered inadequate or confusing instruction.
Know that difficulties in learning to read are not due to visual processing problems. See The Joint Statement on Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, and Vision from the American Academy of Pediatrics, http://aappolicy.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/pediatrics;102/5/1217 ; Colored lenses or overlays, vision training (special glasses or exercises) and movement therapy will not help children or adults overcome reading difficulties or dyslexia.
What parents can do to prevent reading failure or dyslexia.
Beginning in infancy and every year thereafter, parents should make sure that the child's hearing and vision are within normal ranges. A child who has difficulty not only with hearing, but processing the meaning of sounds (auditory processing) will struggle later with reading. Likewise, vision should be evaluated not just for acuity (the "20/20" part) but for the ability of the eyes to work together (visual processing). A child with auditory processing difficulties might be referred to an audiologist or a speech-language pathologist. A child with visual processing difficulties might be referred to a pediatric ophthamologist (an M.D. who specializes in children's eye disorders).
Before beginning school, parents should be aware of some of the signs that may indicate a child is at risk of having difficulty with reading.
Motor or automatic sequencing difficulties, such as difficulty inlearning to tie shoes.
Once in school, parents should be aware of their child's expected progress in literacy. It used to be thought that dyslexia could not be detected before the child had had three to four years of school (third grade, or about age eight in the United States). This is often referred to as the "waiting to fail" model, and it is wrong. Interventions (more teaching, one-on-one tutoring) should begin as early as the difficulty is detected. Children who struggle in school for years are at a tremendous disadvantage. Children can and should be screened for both phonemic awareness and rapid automatic naming, beginning in the first quarter of kindergarten. Parents need to ask their child's school if these screening assessments are given, and if not, why not. If the school refuses to provide these assessments, parents should seek out an educational therapist or other health professional who can provide the screenings.
Parents should be aware of the difference between "screening assessments", progress monitoring" and "diagnostic assessments". Screening assessments tend to be quite short, and are designed to distinguish children who may be at risk or already having difficulty. "Progress monitoring" is also short and administed often to test children's mastery of what has been taught. Diagnostic assessments are a much more thorough, and can take several hours. They are designed to evaluate all areas of a person's intellectual and academic functioning (modified for the person's expected academic achievement).
Know how dyslexia is diagnosed.
A written analysis and interpretation of the pattern of strengths and weaknesses that the test battery results reveal. http://alpha.fdu.edu/psychology/jiffy_evaluation_center.htm is an example of an excellent evaluation.
Once a full evaluation and diagnosis is in place, a plan for remediation and accommodation can be devised and put in place. In the United States, children with a diagnosis of dyslexia have significant educational rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which requires that individuals with disabilities have an Individual Education Plan (IEP). More information about students' educational rights can be found at Wrightslaw ().
Both children and adults with dyslexia may benefit from hearing material as they read it. There are several ways to acquire spoken versions of written texts. Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFBD) makes many works, including textbooks, available for a modest fee. Many educational institutions use Kurzweil devices to provide a computer-generated ovice version of texts available to qualified students. The Intel Reader is a hand-held device that scans text and converts text into computer-generated language.
Thank you for this great summary of the reading process and dyslexia. I hope it stays up on WikiHow.
Comprehensive, and very helpful. Are there discussion pages on WikiHow that might give you a clue about why it's flagged?
It is important for parents to understand that there is no "cure," for dyslexia, but there are ways that they can help their children learn and succeed both in and out of school. Students with a learning disability are just as competent and proficient as other students, but they may require different teaching methods or tools to help. For instance, assistive technology can make a huge difference for children with learning disabilities and is evolving to better meet their needs. Portable products are now available to assist people with learning disabilities, specifically to access the printed word more easily and conveniently, giving kids with dyslexia more freedom and independence than ever before. The National Center for Learning Disabilities has some great resources to help parents choose the right assistive technology, and you can learn more at http://www.ncld.org/at-school/general-topics/assistive-technology/choosing-an-assistive-technology.
I've been searching about Dyslexia and education for the children suffering from it, and reading your blog, I found your post very helpful. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. There are many school which are working for the education of children suffering from Dyslexia. As you can visit the website http://www.centerschoolpa.org . It really impreesd me.

Skip Brad Gushue has one hurdle to clear before booking berth in hometown Brier
Gushue has one hurdle to clear ahead of Brier
Brad Gushue has won the Newfoundland and Labrador curling title in every season since 2007. Never has the pressure to repeat as provincial champion been greater than this year.
Gushue would love nothing more than to win his first Tim Hortons Brier in his hometown of St. John's this March. But in order to book a berth in the national championship, he'll need to win this week's provincial playdowns at the Bally Haly Country Club.
The top-ranked Gushue will be a heavy favourite in the five-team field when play begins Thursday.
"Even though we're going to play against some teams that people across the country may have never heard of, they can play, they can compete," Gushue said. "And if we don't show up and play or take them for granted, they could beat us."
Gushue is still not quite in top physical form due to a hip/groin injury that kept him off the ice for the first few months of the season. He returned in early December and reached the semifinals at the National before winning the Canadian Open this month in North Battleford, Sask.
"I felt comfortable really quick," Gushue said of his latest performance. "Really right from the get-go I felt pretty confident in the ice and how I was throwing it. Then all of the sudden you get more and more confidence and it feels like you're getting your mojo back."
Most of the pain has gone away and now Gushue is working on improving his strength. He will also continue his regular physiotherapy and massage therapy sessions.
While it was tough to be away earlier in the season, Gushue said there were some positives to taking some time off.
"Going into the second half of the season, I feel much more energized at this point than I ever have in my career," he said in a recent interview from St. John's. "Generally come Christmas time, you're just anxious to get away from the game and try to recharge the batteries for the second half of the year. Whereas this year, I was itching to get back at it."
Gushue added that he feels mentally sharper on the ice. He also discovered that he really missed the sport when he was out of action.
"I love the game and it really showed me that I still have the drive to compete," he said.
Gushue ran the table at last year's Newfoundland and Labrador Tankard, defeating Colin Thomas 8-1 in the final. Thomas is back again this year in a field rounded out by Adam Boland, Trent Skanes and Paul Harvey.
Gushue won his first of three straight provincial crowns in 2003. He missed the 2006 event after winning the Olympic Trials and went on to win gold for Canada at the Winter Games in Turin, Italy.
He has no plans to change his usual routine for the 2017 edition of the provincial Tankard, which runs through Sunday.
"We still have to show up and play our game or play near our game," Gushue said. "Really that's the focus for us. We've taken an approach of going out there and trying to play at that 90 per cent rate no matter who we're playing and if we can get anywhere near that, we should be good."
St. John's is hosting the Brier for the first time since 1972. Kevin Koe, who beat Gushue in the final of last year's Brier in Ottawa, earns a direct entry in the Mar. 2-12 event at the Mile One Centre as the defending champion.
Since the dates for provincial and territorial playdowns are spread out throughout the country, most of the Brier field won't be finalized until mid-February. Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Yukon and Nunavut will play in a pre-tournament qualifying round to determine the final berth in the 12-team main draw.
The women's national championship — the Scotties Tournament of Hearts — is set for Feb. 16-26 at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines, Ont.
