ATSDR - PHA - Metachem Products, LLC (a/k/a Standard Chlorine of Delaware, Incorporated), New Castle, New Castle County, Delaware
From the limited off-site soil data currentlyavailable for areas east of the plant, it appearsthat the OxyChem ball field area is notcontaminated; therefore, use of the ball field is not a public health hazard. In the preliminarypublic health assessment released for public comment, ATSDR expressed concern that childrenor families who came to the OxyChem ball field might wander into the unfenced contaminatedareas of the Metachem site (15). ATSDR also recommended that barriers be constructed toprevent site entry. This final health assessment has been changed to delete those concerns andrecommendations. ATSDR staff have visited these areas and are now convinced that the marshessurrounding the site on three sides and the dense thickets of briars and vines are sufficient naturalbarriers to prevent trespassing. Also, workers in the area said that the ballfield was seldom usedduring the last year. ... [Read More]
2003 Delaware Bar Examination Questions
2. Parker identified Larry Lawyer as a witness in Plaintiff's case to testify about a conversation Lawyer had with Driver in the parking lot of the Club on the day of the incident. As Driver was leaving the Club after Parker was struck, Driver saw Lawyer, who represents Driver in an unrelated personal injury lawsuit. Driver admitted to Lawyer (with no one else present) that Driver hit Parker with a tee shot, he had seen Parker on the golf course before he hit the shot, and he had not shouted "fore" when he realized the shot was heading toward Parker. Driver asked Lawyer whether Driver was liable for Parker's injury. Lawyer told Driver that he was probably liable unless Driver could show that Parker was more negligent than Driver. Driver filed a pre-trial motion in limine to bar Lawyer's testimony on the grounds of privilege. How should the Court rule on Driver's motion? Explain your answer. 3. Driver identified Dr. Bandaid as a witness in Defendant's case. Bandaid was the attending em ... [Read More]

Avian Collision and Electrocution: An Annotated Bibliography
The authors advise managers to discourage construction of power lines at eagle wintering sites, especially near communal roosts. New power lines should be constructed without electrocution hazards, and some existing power line poles should be modified to eliminate hazards. Power lines can be a significant cause of mortality for eagles, especially in broad, flat valleys where natural perches are not available. (Artificial perches designed for eagles have been only partially successful.) Electrocution accidents are most likely to occur on poles that provide a good view of the surrounding terrain and on crossarms that are crosswise to prevailing winds. Raptor electrocutions occur primarily during winter when eagles concentrate near human developments. ... [Read More]
Profiles in Renewable Energy: Case Studies of Successful Utility-Sector Projects
Several additional external factors contributed to the USW success, including the federal and state tax incentives of the early 1980s and support of the state regulatory commission with regard to the utility power purchase contracts. In addition, a need for power existed in the state, state energy policy is supportive of renewable energy development, and the power generated by the wind projects is supplied to large utilities with power systems that can easily accommodate the intermittent wind system power output. To date, transmission has not been an issue for USW projects because these projects have been located close to existing transmission facilities. ... [Read More]

Teaching for Freedom
Now, I tell this story in part because it is a wonderful story, andit is an important one as well. Demoralized as Washingtonand his countrymen were, news of these victories, James Thomas Flexnerhas written, "traveled across America like a rainstorm across a parchedland, lifting bowed heads everywhere." But I also tell thisstory because it makes the point--as so many of the stories of ourcountry's beginnings do--that this nation was notinevitable. The founders had the odds stacked very muchagainst them. No one had ever thrown off a colonial powerbefore. No one had ever established representativegovernment over a vast expanse of land. The Americans weregoing up against the mightiest military force in the world, and so muchof the success they did experience depended on individuals,particularly on Washington, whose legendary bravery--so inspiring to his men--might easily have gotten him killed. ...
