Theresa Nogeire McRae Presentation: 'Conservation and Social Value of Preserving Farms on the Urban Fringe'

Theresa Nogeire McRae gave this presentation at our 3 February Geography TN1 seminar. 

Download Nogeire_Geog_Seminar_2020

Here is the blurb from her site:

I teach and conduct research in sustainable agriculture, landscape 1449976351 ecology, and conservation biology. My current projects focus on urban agriculture, scaling and spatial distribution of food systems, and how different models of food production might improve conservation outcomes and resilience of food supplies to climate change.  My past research focused on how biodiversity persists in human-dominated landscapes, and especially how wide-ranging species use agricultural and grazing landscapes.  I use GIS, spatially explicit modeling, and field data to answer questions about how private lands might be better managed to advance conservation goals while providing necessary resources for people.  I am based in Corvallis, Oregon.

Here are few random screenshots from the presentation.

CRS InFocus Report: 'EU Climate Action and Implicatios for the United States'

By Kristin Archick, Jane A. Leggett and Kezee Procita authored this two-page CRS InFocus report: 'EU Climate Action and Implications for the United States'.

Download CRS_InFocus_EU_Climate_Actions_USA_14Feb2020

European Union: A Key Actor

The European Union (EU) has sought to play a leading role on international climate action for decades. The EU and the United States worked closely to negotiate the 2015 Paris Agreement (PA) to combat greenhouse gas (GHG)-induced climate change. The EU reacted negatively to PresidentTrump’s 2017 decision to withdraw the United States from the PA, scheduled to take effect in November 2020. The EU remains committed to the PA and seeks to enhance its climate policies in light of increasing political pressure throughout Europe for more robust action. Still, the EU faces challenges in reaching consensus on more ambitious EU-wide measures. Despite U.S. withdrawal from the PA, many Members of Congress are interested in the possible geostrategic and economic implications of climate change and international mitigation efforts. (Table 1 compares selected U.S. and EU GHG emissions indicators.) U.S.-EU frictions on climate policies also may affect broader U.S.- EU relations. (See CRS In Focus IF10668, Potential Implications of U.S. Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, by Jane A. Leggett.)


 EU2

EU Climate Action Policies

In the EU context, environmental policy—including climate action—is an area of shared competency in which both the EU and its 27 member states may adopt legally binding acts. All EU members must abide by agreed EU laws and regulations on climate action, and national laws or policies must not conflict with or undercut common EU measures.

EU2

Cutting to the chase...

Implications for U.S.-EU Relations

EU efforts to step up its climate action policies and elements of the proposed European Green Deal may exacerbate U.S.-EU tensions. The EU has pledged that it will not conclude future free trade agreements with countries that are not parties to the PA, creating another potential friction point in already fraught U.S.-EU trade talks. Some analysts suggest that possible EU carbon border adjustments could increase costs for U.S. firms doing business in Europe. U.S.-EU frictions also may mount if a perceived lack of U.S. engagement and cooperation on climate issues impedes the EU’s ability to convince other countries to pursue more robust GHG-mitigation measures.

Enjoy!

TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 8 - 14 February 2020

Happy Valentine's Day! I have been blessed with Mary Frances for over a quarter century.

And here's a relatively new (2019) book I just encountered: 'The Evolution of the Law and Politics of Water' by Joseph W. Dellapenna and Joyeeta Gupta.

The blurb:

41GkCL8HJ7L._SX313_BO1 204 203 200_The Evolution of the Law and Politics of Water presents an overview of global trends in water law and policy and assesses current global water governance. It provides an historic understanding of how and why after 5,000 years of water governance, that governance still has not reached stability. It identifies the key research questions for water law and policy while providing an overview of the current global water governance regime, its evolving characteristics, and the legal theories involved in these changes. It focuses on water law and discusses the characteristics of national, supranational, and international water law through a combination of case studies and thematic chapters.

The Evolution of the Law and Politics of Water is the first volume to take a global perspective on the evolution of water law and policy. It describes global patterns and sets forth the particulars of eight national legal systems drawn from every continent and five regional or supranational systems, as well as the body of customary international law as a whole. In particular, it is the first book to explore the interrelation between culture, religion, government and law in water governance and management. The volume is, therefore, a must-read for anyone interested in how water governance has changed through time and in different places as well as anyone interested in how water law has sought to channel water governance through time and in different places and what variables account for the relative success (or lack of success) of water law in performing this channelling function. It is suggestive of possible lines of water law reform and whether a particular reform is likely to be successful.

The links below represent the week's water news as represented by my Tweets. I do not pretend that this survey is a comprehensive survey of the water news; it's my attempt to keep my readers informed to the best of my ability and available time.

Enjoy!

CRS Report: 'Prior Converted Cropland Under the Clean Water Act' (Updated: 11 February 2020)

This CRS InFocus report (11 February 2020) is by Laura Gatz and Megan Stubbs: Prior Converted Cropland Under the Clean Water Act'

Prior Converted Cropland or PCC? Here is an Iowa State University publication. The photo is from the ISU website.

Shutterstock_145838192-400x265

Introduction

For decades, the value of wetlands and efforts to protect them have been recognized in different ways through national policies, federal laws, and regulations. The central federal regulatory program, authorized in Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), requires permits for the discharge of dredged or fill material (e.g., sand, soil, excavated material) into wetlands that are considered “waters of the United States” (WOTUS). Also, the Food Security Act (FSA) of 1985—enacted on December 23, 1985—included a wetland conservation provision (Swampbuster) that indirectly protects wetlands by making producers who farm or convert wetlands to agricultural production ineligible for select federal farm program benefits. Both FSA and CWA Section 404 regulations include exceptions to their requirements for prior converted cropland (PCC). PCC determinations are complex. While both programs include exceptions for PCC, determinations are made under separate authorities and for different programmatic purposes. This has created confusion for affected landowners, who argue that greater consistency among PCC determinations is needed. It has also generated congressional interest in clarifying the issue.

What is PCC?

The CWA Section 404 permitting and “Swampbuster”programs both require the administering agencies to make certain determinations about wetland areas, including whether an area qualifies as PCC. While historically the agencies defined PCC similarly, the way the agencies have determined what qualifies as PCC has diverged over time.

Clean Water Act

Under the CWA, discharges of pollutants into WOTUS are unlawful unless authorized by a permit. Section 404 permits authorize discharges of dredged or fill material into WOTUS, including wetlands (33 U.S.C. §1344). The Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are both responsible for implementing aspects of the CWA Section 404 permitting program.

Most routine, ongoing farming activities do not require CWA Section 404 permits. CWA Section 404(f) exempts normal farming, silviculture, and ranching from permitting requirements. However, if a farming activity is associated with bringing a WOTUS into a new use where the flow, circulation, or reach of that water might be affected (e.g., bringing a wetland into agricultural production or converting an agricultural wetland into a nonwetland area), that activity would require a permit.

The CWA does not define or mention PCC explicitly. However, CWA regulations exclude PCC from the definition of WOTUS and therefore the act’s permittingrequirements. In 1990, the Corps issued Regulatory Guidance Letter 90-07, which created one of the first direct links to Swampbuster. It clarified that PCC, as defined by U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in its 1988 National FSA Manual, are not subject to regulation under CWA Section 404. The manual defines PCC as “wetlandswhich were both manipulated (drained or otherwise physically altered to remove excess water from the land) and cropped before 23 December 1985, to the extent that they no longer exhibit important wetland values.”

In 1993, the Corps and EPA codified into regulation the existing policy that PCC are not WOTUS (58 Federal Register 45008). In addition, in the preamble to the rule, the agencies referenced the definition of PCC from the National FSA Manual. They also indicated that any PCC that were abandoned, per the NRCS provisions on abandonment, and reverted back to wetlands could be “recaptured” and againsubject to CWA regulation. Specifically, per the preamble, PCC that “now meets wetland criteria is considered to be abandoned unless: For once in every five years the area has been used for the production of an agricultural commodity, or the area has been used and will continue to be used for the production of an agricultural commodity in a commonly used rotation with aquaculture, grasses, legumes, or pastureproduction.” Although the definition and abandonment criteria were included in the rule’s preamble, they are not included in Corps and EPA regulations.

In 2015, the Corps and EPA promulgated the Clean Water Rule (80 Federal Register 37054), which established a new definition for WOTUS. It maintained the PCC exclusion as it existed in the 1993 rule and similarly did not define the term or include abandonment criteria in the rule itself. However, on January 23, 2020, the Corps and EPA finalized a new rule—the Navigable Waters Protection Rule—to revise the definition of WOTUS, including revisions to how PCC is defined and determined. (See“PCC in the Navigable Waters Protection Rule.”)

Enjoy!

Didn't know that the environment was a 'problem' - see below.
