Aerial Firefighters Gearing Up For The 2012 Wildland Forest Fire Season
Washington, DC (PRWEB) January 25, 2012
“With near record lows in rainfall, combined with record high temperatures in much of California in December–plus ongoing dry conditions throughout much of the Southwest–the aerial firefighters are preparing for an earlier than normal deployment of assets, given the prevailing high fire dangers, especially in those parts of the country,” said Tom Eversole, Executive Director of the American Helicopter Services and Aerial Firefighting Association (AHSAFA) in Washington.

ESD Waste2Water Completes Environmental Wash Station For Stone Creek Golf Club
Oregon City, Oregon (PRWEB) December 16, 2011
Stone Creek Golf Course, located in Oregon City tapped ESD Waste2Water, Inc. to install their environmental golf course wash system to achieve a higher green status and streamline their golf course wash station practices.
As golf courses are required more and more to be aware of the environment, they are getting greener every day across the United States by adopting environmentally sustainable practices. With their new golf course environmental wash station, Stone Creek Golf Club is now using far less water and harmful chemicals than before and implementing water conservation solutions- allowing vegetation to thrive while protecting surrounding water supplies. The Stone Creek Golf Club wash system includes top of the line industry wash water equipment including the grass clipping / debris separator and the closed loop biological wash water recycle system. The wash water recycle system also economically removes contaminants so that the water can be 100% recycled for washing, irrigation, or to be safely discharged into the sewer.
Stone Creek Golf Club is not only an environmental award winning golf course, but they also help other golf courses achieve their environmental improvement goals. There are several areas of the course that require focus from turf care and water conservation to facilities and equipment maintenance. ESD Waste2Water is not only proud to have helped Stone Creek Golf Course achieve their green goals but they have also helped golf courses all over the world implement environmentally friendly water recycling systems.
Golf course wash stations, like Stone Creeks, are immensely important as turf-grass equipment and golf carts typically contain grass particles, oil and petroleum particles, as well as fertilizer and chemical particle residues. Typical ESD water conservation set-ups involve a two hose water recycle system that is engineered to direct all waste water to a central sump which is then pumped through a grass clipping and solid separator and into a biological wash water recycle unit for reuse or to be safely discharged back to surrounding water supplies.
By recycling wash water and properly cleaning turf care equipment, golf carts and other golf equipment, golf courses can lower maintenance costs while protecting the health of their employees and the environment. ESD Waste2Water can design a custom golf course wash water recycling system to help you achieve cost saving solutions while ensuring your equipment wash area also meets, and exceeds, government regulations for protecting the environment.
ESD designs, manufactures, installs and services environmental protection systems for clients across the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Australia. ESD Waste2Water leads the industry with cutting-edge technology and innovative, low-maintenance designs, backed by superior customer service.
ESD Waste2Water, Inc. is headquartered in a manufacturing and assembly facility in Ocala, Florida. ESD has the expertise and infrastructure to produce equipment for all environmental remediation applications such as groundwater and soil remediation equipment. They also specialize in providing many other environmental solutions such as stationary and portable equipment wash rack stations and other wash water recycling systems for a wide range of customers all over the world.

Smith Rock, Oregon – Powered Paragliding Under Bridges, Skimming Rivers – GoPro VOD on 11/9/11
Thank you GoPro for making our video your Video of the Day on 11/09/2011. Byron was in town for the weekend, so we did what we enjoy most and went flying. Great shots of Ranch at the Canyons, train bridge, Star Wars Corn Maze, Smith Rock, low flying valleys and rivers. Was wishing I had a foot cam on when I came across a coyote. Really need more flying buddies now that Byron moved out of the area. If anybody is interested in meeting up or getting started in this sport, just drop me a line. More information, photos and videos can be found on Byron’s website at www.ppgfun.com Video taken on older 980 GoPro (I’ve since purchased the GoPro Hero2) Edited with iMovie (taking donations for new MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro X) Both items are on my Christmas wish list. Music by YAWN Album Open Season Song: Never Knew
