Pollard Landfill is a closed municipal solid waste landfill located at 11349 McKinley Road. The site operated as a local dump prior to 1972, and eventually became a licensed landfill. However, in 1989, all waste disposal activities at the site were stopped, and closure was initiated. Closure activities included installation of an engineered clay cap, and additional groundwater monitoring wells. In 2006, Pollard Landfill prepared a plan to investigate groundwater contamination at the site, which was approved by EGLE. Because of the known historical contamination at this site, EGLE conducted PFAS sampling of select groundwater monitor wells in 2021. PFAS was discovered in groundwater at levels exceeding cleanup criteria in three of four sampled groundwater wells.

Groundwater flow in the affected shallow aquifer at the site is to the west, toward the Flint River, which borders the property. Contaminated water from the shallow aquifer discharges to the river. All residential wells near the site are in the deeper bedrock aquifer, which records indicate is separated from the shallow contaminated aquifer by a substantial clay layer, which likely blocks the flow of contaminants.

EGLE is currently working with DHHS and the Genesee County Health Department to determine if residential well sampling will be necessary. Currently, municipal drinking water is available in the vicinity of the landfill.

A goal of COREX is to demonstrate how prepositioned equipment can be deployed by a team of military and civilian reverse logistics specialists to provide disposal solutions anywhere on the globe for warfighters.

One of the first customers to stop into the temporary COREX field site to dispose of excess property was Lawrence Goodson, a yeoman-storekeeper aboard USNS Tippecanoe (T-AO 199). Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Marci Pollard of Disposal Support Unit 1 out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington assisted Goodson with his turn in.

AI has taken the world by storm and entered many industries and professions, including personal injury law. It is important to understand how these tools can and should be utilized by ethical attorneys.

At The Pollard Firm, we are committed to using all of the tools at our disposal while maintaining a human connection. Contact us today to learn how we use AI to research your case, or read on for more information.

AI research tools significantly decrease the time an attorney must evaluate past case law, statutes, and legal precedents. Through analysis of specific data sets, AI algorithms can detect patterns and allow attorneys to focus on key elements of the case.

It is important to remember that these AI tools are only as effective as the data sets used to program them. Not all AI tools are equal. The Pollard Firm uses only the best and most reliable AI research tools in personal injury cases.

AI research tools can be invaluable to attorneys, but they must use them appropriately. AI cannot take the place of a crack legal team. Attorneys have an ethical and legal responsibility to provide the best legal representation possible, and this cannot be done through AI tools alone. Attorneys are also responsible for ensuring that the AI tools they are using are informed with the best algorithms and data sets for the purpose.

AI insights are just that - insights. They can inform attorneys of key elements of the case, but manual case review is still necessary. Nothing can replace the critical thinking and experience of an attorney. AI is meant to compliment human expertise, not take the place of it. At The Pollard Firm, we take our responsibility to review your case manually very seriously.

At The Pollard Firm, we take pride in using the most up to date research tools to inform your case while maintaining a human element. You can rest assured that our attorneys will never cut corners. While we may use AI-powered tools to help us evaluate your case, we will always maintain that human expertise in reviewing and establishing your case.

We care about you and your personal injury case, and we use AI ethically in that pursuit. Contact us today for more information or to schedule your free consultation and case review.

Using the full range of skills at our disposal, from architectural and urban design to masterplanning, property development and community engagement, our team of 100 professionals are dedicated to enhancing the towns, cities and villages in which we work.

We are equally comfortable tackling smaller bespoke building projects as we are masterplanning villages, towns and urban districts. We handle all stages of a project from concept and planning to delivery and post-occupancy evaluation.

Our approach is founded on placing people first, understanding their needs and designing to suit, emphasising not only the way the buildings and places look, but also on how they are made, how they are used and how they age too.

As well as designing new neighbourhoods and estates we also repair and revitalise existing ones in need of care. This in turn has helped us build a reputation for taking over difficult projects which have stalled and re-energising them to create thriving places people enjoy being in.

We have recently completed a comprehensive remodelling of our spacious studios at Diespeker Wharf, a converted factory in Islington and a local landmark, to facilitate hybrid working and provide an outstanding venue for client meetings and industry events.

An enhanced methodology for the policy-level prioritization of intervention options during carcass disposal is presented. Pareto charts provide a semiquantitative analysis of opportunities for multiple exposures to human health, animal health, and the wider environment during carcass disposal; they identify critical control points for risk management and assist in waste technology assessment. Eighty percent of the total availability of more than 1300 potential exposures to human, animal, or environmental receptors is represented by 16 processes, these being dominated by on-farm collection and carcass processing, reinforcing the criticality of effective controls during early stages of animal culling and waste processing. Exposures during mass burials are dominated by ground- and surface-water exposures with noise and odor nuisance prevalent for mass pyres, consistent with U.K. experience. Pareto charts are discussed in the context of other visualization formats for policy officials and promoted as a communication tool for informing the site-specific risk assessments required during the operational phases of exotic disease outbreaks.

Connected and Associated: Insolvency and Pensions Law discusses, in detail, the meaning and scope of the 'connected', 'associated' and 'control' tests used in the Insolvency Act 1986. These are in sections 249 and 435, and are incorporated by reference in pensions legislation. It also looks at the linked connected person test in The Administration (Restrictions on Disposal etc. to Connected Persons) Regulations 2021.

Connected and Associated: Insolvency and Pensions Law will help you to:

- Decide whether a person is connected or associated with another under the insolvency test for the purposes of preferences, transactions at an undervalue, or voting in creditor meetings

- Decide whether there is a risk of falling within the potential target net for a contribution notice or financial support direction under the moral hazard powers of the Pensions Regulator in the Pensions Act 2004

- Check whether an investment by a pension scheme is within the limits on employer-related investment under the Pensions Act 1995

- Work out when a disposal by an administrator will be to a connected person

- Work out who satisfies the independence test for an evaluator

- Deal with connected person voting majorities in a creditor vote in a CVA and a Part A1 Moratorium

- Understand the implications of the Administration (Restriction on Disposal etc. to Connected Persons) Regulations 2021
