![]() ![]() It was just tarmac, concrete, tall buildings and choke full of people. And, of course, the immediate example was Hong Kong - densely-populated, buildings close to each other. So, when I faced the prospect of becoming an independent nation in 1965, making a viable economy and a society out of this little piece of land with then two million people, I had to envision the kind of ways we could move forward. We are a small island, densely populated. ![]() Mr Lee: “Thank you for gathering today to discuss the question of energy in Singapore. And now, may I invite Minister Mentor to give us some opening remarks before we commence the dialogue session. After that, Mr Shimon Peres gestured Mr Lee to the rostrum and that was all. I recall that there was a provision of several minutes for Mr Shimon Peres to give his introductory remarks, but in his usual brilliant way, he said and I quote, looking at Mr Lee, Mr Shimon Peres said, “You have all come to listen to a legend and I now present to you the legend in person”. All of us in the audience wondered how Mr Shimon Peres, who is a well-known orator and statesman, would introduce Mr Lee. “In 1995, when Mr Lee was visiting Israel, he was introduced by the then Foreign Minister, Shimon Peres, at a keynote event. The Minister Mentor is well-known to everyone of you and so it is very difficult for me to add to your knowledge of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, but I cannot resist this opportunity to share a few moments with you on a particularly remarkable introduction of Mr Lee which I personally observed. We’re most honoured and privileged to have Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew to address us this afternoon. In addition, the tests and modelling results provide new insight on a conceptual model linking hydraulic conductivity to the development of all large (>20 km2) forested bog complexes in mid-continental boreal North America.Moderator: “Ladies and gentlemen, Excellencies, welcome to the inaugural Singapore Energy Lecture. The hydraulic conductivity distribution suggests different modes of methane gas transport that either locally dilate or partially block pores in the peat. ![]() The model results indicated vertically continuous zones of high or low hydraulic conductivity value in contrast to the horizontal bedding planes and increasing degree of decomposition with depth. Test results were used to calibrate a three-dimensional groundwater model with the aid of parameter estimation analysis. The paper details aquifer tests conducted on bog landforms in the Red Lake Peatland of northern Minnesota to determine the fine-scale distribution of hydraulic conductivity within a large (>900 m3) model domain. Reeve, 2020. The hydraulic conductivity of peat with respect to scaling, botanical composition, and greenhouse gas transport: Mini-aquifer tests from the Red Lake Peatland, Minnesota. Publications. Joshua Rhoades, a geologist in BOL's Permits Section -Groundwater Unit, recently co-authored a research paper published in the Journal of Hydrology: Paul H.Whether a Bureau program is aimed at preventing contamination or the reduction or elimination of existing contamination, everyone in the Bureau of Land has the same goal of protecting people and the environment from threats posed by environmental contaminants. The Bureau of Land oversees cleanup to ensure it is protective of human health and the environment and provides for the safe re-use of the property. For property that has become contaminated. ![]() The Illinois EPA regularly inspects facilities to ensure compliance with applicable standards and operating requirements. Where possible and appropriate, we support diverting materials from disposal facilities and towards re-use and recycling - including programs that address hard-to-recycle materials such as used tires and consumer electronics. The Bureau of Land provides direct financial and administrative support for the collection and disposal of hard-to-manage wastes such as household hazardous waste and unwanted medications. The Bureau of Land permitting programs regulate a wide range of waste related activities, including those involving municipal waste, landscape waste, composted material, construction and demolition debris, potentially infectious medical waste, and hazardous waste. The Bureau of Land protects human health and the environment by regulating the transfer, storage, and disposal of waste and by overseeing the cleanup of contaminated properties. ![]()
