the plant was built in 1952. this treatment plant is the heart of the city and it is important that we have this working as best as possible. to the north -- >> fired chart? there is a lot of stuff that talks about rebuilding. can you help us with this distinction between what you would consider r&r and what is ssip? >> we can go back to the page definition. r&r is intended to extend the life of an existing asset. you are replacing a portion, reappointing within a brick. the treatment plant, this is a major demolish on full structures with new processes using new technology, different equipment, new switches, gears, and controls with entirely new structure is the need managed and programs. we are not doing this just as a roof repair. this is full-scale demolishing, replacing, and having worked around during the year. the entire plant needs so much work that it makes an extended process complex, as we will have to maintain permit compliance and have everything run at 100% during the wet weather. i keep the definit

and invasive plant is non-native and disrupts the natural system, whether plants or wildlife or habitat. we could have non natives or exotics that can be invasive. not all of them are. i want to make sure that we distinguish among those terms. this is a big picture document. it is a picture about the department's operations rather than pre management at individual parts and facilities. i will be doing assessments and you'll be hearing about these capital projects and others and individual parks. this is a big picture document. the urban forestry unit has three functions. the two primary are to maintain existing trees, second, plant new trees, and the third function, because it has new and unique equipment, provide a service to other units in the city. it has the burial towers that are convenient for getting into high trees and aerial lights. the one question that has arisen as how many trees the department manages. my estimate is 131,000. that is 30,000, 40,000 more than it estimated numbers the department gave when i started the project. in some ways, you could argue that means the wor

we made the initial investments in the plants and the pipes. but once we accomplished that, there was this great recognition that we had a series of issues associated with wet weather conditions. storm events where, all of a sudden, you're dealing with a lot of water. narrator: large amounts of rainwater can cause flooding. engineers developed two approaches to stormwater infrastructure to transport water away from the urban environment. one approach was to carry waste and stormwater through the same pipe. this combined system was less expensive than building two individual pipe networks. and stormwater was seen as a way to flush out the sewers. through the 19th century, the combined system was considered state-of-the-art throughout the world, and is still in use in many cities today. but cities constructed these systems before treatment was the standard. and even today's largest treatment plant doesn't have the capacity to treat the sudden volumes of water rushing through a combined system during rain. the plant is overloaded, and the excess r

the city of honolulu is a plant using uv 4 disinfection. some nearby examples -- vallejo, a small city in the pacifica. we are also looking at a novel this infection process known as pasteurization. this is still in the embryonic stage. the idea is to take the hot exhaust denigrated from the plant's energy recovery process, and use it to pass your eyes. similar process to new pasteurization. the issue is if we can make it efficient. we are developing, with the inventor, a pprototype. next is the process for new trade recovery. -- nutrient recovery. hoss perce and ammonium nitrogen can be recovered -- phosphorus and ammonium nitrogen can be recovered to be used as a high grade fertilizer. in the corner is a photograph of what it may look like. this actually causes problems. it can cause maintenance problems. so this process would eliminate that process for us. if we go with this process, it would be even more feasible. ammonium nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations would be much higher in the hour cycle streams. now some words of caution w

don't send everybody out here, that old dilapidated plant out there. >> sewage plants should not be within 25 feet of people's homes, and the bayview is that way. that should move. it could move to the badlands of the poor property. i do not know that there is anything that we want to get rid of other than the power plants, sewage plants, asphalt plants, things that you do not want to grow. there are things that can move, but i think they need to stay in the city, but they can be different. >> unless we do something drastic and severe for this community, it is not going to survive. not only for us, but it is not going to survive for a lot of you folks that are moving in here. and >> district and has a reputation as one of the city's most dangerous areas. we asked if the notoriety is valid and inquire about the district's crime problem. >>, as an issue that happens everywhere citizens go. we tend to blame the folks who have to look at what surrounds them, what the environment has the right. the environment has been neglected. poor schools, poor health, and food, poor housing, so we have to

we were perfectly comfortable in clarifying no fossil fuel power plants. i would be happy to consider but i don't know how to articulate it. if you describe this as a power plant but as a district based teaching system, that is possibly what we are getting at. >> that is hard to find out. i ask your support for this as it is currently amended. >> can we take a vote on the power plant language? >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> no. >> no. >> aye. >> the motion passes. >> a motion to rescind. can we take a motion to rescind? courts without objection. -- >> without objection. >> no. >> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> no. >> no. >> no. >> aye. >> no. >> no. >> aye. >> the motion fails. >> i have an alternate motion which basically would be the language would remove the references to fossil fuel- powered district heating and cooling system instead replace this with district steam loop. >> can we get where the patient of the impact? >> i have no idea. >> this would be a way around it -- i am trying to figure out how we actually prohibit the

run the german nuclear plants and obviously they have an interest in keeping these plants on line for as long as possible. that is because they're cost- effective and ensure profitable futures for the companies. >> the energy giants are calling for a longer life spans of at least 15 years for the plants, and what to keep as much of their profits as possible. that is why i have been putting pressure on the government in pursuit of their interests. they even went so far as to place full-page ads in newspapers, with ford executives signing an open letter opposing the nuclear project with executive signing an open letter opposing the nuclear projects. meanwhile, the opposition says the government is divided and accessible to lobbying. >> the chancellor sent along signal. -- the chancellor sent the wrong signal. she tried to mediate instead of indicating which way to go, and the executive saw that as an indication to exert political pressure. >> now the chancellor is trying to rein in the companies. on a visit to the plant, angela merkel stressed such nuclear power stations would be subjec

, but industrial plants. they call it the struxnet worm. >> most of the activity that we've seen over the past several months has involved intrusions, into enterprise or corporate networks. that's the front office area of a control plant. or power plant. >> reporter: investigators discovered the computer code is capable of opening and closing doors and gates to allow access for potential intruders. >> that is very targeted. very sophisticated. that's why it's unique. it's the first piece of malicious code of this complexity that we've ever identified. >> reporter: the struxnet worm is considered serious, because it can be unleashed on a wide variety of industries. >> it can be used to build equipment and vehicles. it has a wide variety of purposes. >> reporter: but the biggest concern may be aging power plants. >> if you can shut a power plant down, you can infect an entire inner connected infrastructure. in other words, the water will stop flowing. you know, the banks won't operate. you can't pump gas. >> re

. >> the theory is we have to make water from air without using energy and plant our plants with that. >> reporter: peter used to grew tulips in holland, but sees this as a greater calling. since 1994, he's been developing these water boxes, as he calls them. they cool at night, pull moisture from the air, and use it to irrigate young plants and trees of all kinds. it's the same process you see here when cold liquid in the glass condenses water from the outside air. >> actually what people forget is that all the water that's with us traveled through the air. >> reporter: there is a scientific name for this. biomimicry. it imitates nature. in this case, the surface of a lotus leaf. were you skeptical of this? >> at first i was. but once i thought about it for five minutes, i was intrigued. >> reporter: matt manages the

the other thing i would say is i mean, planting a tree is about a lot more than planting a tree. it's taking back your neighborhood. putting a mural on a vandalizeded wall is more than art it's about you know, and -- finding stake holders. >> yeah i would say that's my experience to gererro there are many blocks because of all the traffic it'sal a's all tenants. because the sidewalks are so narrow and there is no street scape it's a hostile place to live with few exceptions everyone, regardless of whether they own or not want to see a liveable city and greening. my experience is the tenants are the ones that go to the property owners and say we will take care of it can we have a tree much the property owners the way you get them will say, look it will raise the value of the property you can raise rent. there are various ways to appeal to what it is that will get somebody to sign o. if your tenants say the balance of my lease i promise to water the streets or pick up the dog poop that accumulates in it. one group to bear in mind in all of this conversation is most [inaudible] you

those are the street trees we want people to be planting. we do a lot of tree plantings. all of you must intuitively go, "of course it's good to plant trees," of course, i want to put a rain barrel on my house." but is there a measurable environmental impact? trees are going to take up a lot of stormwater over time and are kind of a long-term green investment. we've had more than 200 volunteers come out planting street trees. we need people to make active changes on their property. and to reduce the amount of flow that's going into the combined sewer lines, we're trying to install 4,000 rain barrels. narrator: homeowners can disconnect roof gutter downspouts from the sewer system and divert the stormwater into a rain barrel. schombert: the rain water then can be used to water lawns and gardens and infiltrate back in the ground slowly, rather than being piped to a creek where it disappears moments after the storm's over. it's being held within the watershed and it helps regenerate ground water and stream flows. hecht: that's what we're going to do this afternoon is think a

the golf courses have minimal planting programs. in fact, there is quite a much larger number of removal of plantings. it has really striking impact on the golf courses because they are dominated by mature trees, and the trees are born to the plight of golf. we can accept a different experience in golf as trees are removed or if we want to maintain the experience that we have, we need to do something there. one of my ideas was to get concessionaire to pay for tree care and planting, but i don't know that has gotten very far. there are other opportunities elsewhere, other facilities with nonprofits and volunteers with specific interests in golf course properties to do planting and reforestation. they really need direction in terms of golf course master planning, what are we really trying to achieve, just so we're not out there just installing trees in the ground. my summary is really, three components. the maintenance end, we know we need to do a better job of collecting work orders and work information so we can move to this 50% pro

when a plant plant exhibits a lack of performance. in one notable experience, a company made changes in its executive leadership in response to our escalating concerns about their corporate management's lack of responsiveness. there have been other situations where companies have been unsuccessful in improving chronic low performance at their nuclear power plants and through porn escalation and pressure changes were made from the top down. in all these cases our actions were taken with the full support of the inpo board and our broader industry. it is this peer pressure that is perhaps inpo's most effective tool for driving real change. another incentive for nuclear power plants to perform well comes from the industry's collective insurance company, known as nuclear electric insurance limited or neil. after the t.m.i. accident, all nuclear power plants were required to carry insurance through neil. neil in turn requires inpo membership as a condition of insure ability. and it uses inpo plant evaluation ratings as a factor in setting i
