CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES Waste Management: Creation of a State Superfund to Help Fund the Cost of Hazardous Waste Site Cleanup in Georgia
The Act creates the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund with monies collected from fees on generators and importers of hazardous and solid waste. The fund is to be used for the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. The Act also identifies categories of persons jointly, severally, and strictly liable to the state for costs incurred by the state in the cleanup. Those persons are also liable for civil and punitive damages which will help fund the Trust. The Act also provides certain exceptions to liability. Finally, the Act calls for identification and listing of hazardous waste sites in Georgia
Finding needles in haystacks:Linking scientific names, reference specimens and molecular data for Fungi
DNA phylogenetic comparisons have shown that morphology-based species recognition
often underestimates fungal diversity. Therefore, the need for accurate DNA sequence
data, tied to both correct taxonomic names and clearly annotated specimen data, has
never been greater. Furthermore, the growing number of molecular ecology and microbiome
projects using high-throughput sequencing require fast and effective methods for
en masse species assignments. In this article, we focus on selecting and re-annotating a
set of marker reference sequences that represent each currently accepted order of Fungi.
The particular focus is on sequences from the internal transcribed spacer region in the
nuclear ribosomal cistron, derived from type specimens and/or ex-type cultures. Reannotated
and verified sequences were deposited in a curated public database at the
National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), namely the RefSeq Targeted Loci
(RTL) database, and will be visible during routine sequence similarity searches with
NR_prefixed accession numbers. A set of standards and protocols is proposed to improve
the data quality of new sequences, and we suggest how type and other reference
sequences can be used to improve identification of Fungi.The Intramural Research Programs

WATERS OF THE STATE, PORTS, AND WATER CRAFT General Provisions: Prohibit Certain Structures on Tidewaters Held in Public Trust and Navigable Waters
The Act provides procedures for the removal of floating structures used for habitation which have been fastened to the banks of, or embedded in, the beds of tidewaters of the state which are held in public trust or are navigable streams or rivers. The Act also directs the Department of Natural Resources to promulgate rules and regulations which establish standards for safety and construction. Structures which meet those standards and which were in place as of February 1, 1992 are eligible for permits on July 1 1992; such permits extend the time for removal by five years
