Historic Lehigh Valley Towns

Allentown Bethlehem Easton Nazareth Hazelton Jim Thorpe Wilkes-Barre

Allentown was a rural village founded in 1762 by William Allen, Chief Justice of Colonial Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court, known as Northampton town. A thriving town with roots in the iron industry, by 1829 Allentown expanded from a small Pennsylvania Dutch village of farmers and tradesmen to a center of commerce. With the opening of the Lehigh Canal, many canal workers made their homes here.

The Lehigh Valley Gave Birth to America’s Industrial Revolution

The Allentown Art Museum is one of the city’s main attractions and the Museum of Indian Culture honors the legacy of native Lenape people. Allentown’s Canal Park provides easy access to the D&LTrail and access to the waterways for hikers, bikers, joggers, paddlers and fishermen.
Named on Christmas Eve, 1741, by a group of Moravians who relocated from North Carolina and settled at the confluence of the Lehigh River and Monocacy Creek. The canal and the railroads lured large-scale industry to the south bank of the Lehigh River and the Bethlehem Iron Co., soon dominated the town’s economy and way of life. Steel made from local iron, coal and limestone was milled and forged, launching the Industrial Revolution of the late 19^th Century.

Bethlehem is the Lehigh Valley’s Oldest City

Bethlehem has six distinct National Historic Districts as well as two National Historic landmarks. Many of its original structures built by early settlers still line downtown streets.

Easton is located at what the Lenape Indians knew as the Forks of the Delaware where the Lehigh and Delaware rivers merge and where the frontier town was laid out by William Penn. The town’s focal point was, and still is, a large central square. The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence outside of Philadelphia took place in Easton’s Centre Square in 1776 near the oldest continually running open-air Farmer’s Market in the United States.

Nazareth is located seven miles northwest of Easton, four miles north of Bethlehem and twelve miles northeast of Allentown at the foot of the Blue Mountain and includes the townships of Bushkill, Lower Nazareth, Upper Nazareth and the boroughs of Nazareth, Stockertown and Tatamy. Nazareth is the hometown of the world famous Andretti formula 1 auto racing family.

Hazelton is located in the foothills of the Poconos, a vacation destination that offers year round recreation as a vacation destination. Starting from the 1830s, the borough’s population grew steadily until the 1880s when waves of eastern European immigrants arrived to take jobs in coal industry. In 1891, it was chartered as a city.

Jim Thorpe was named after the legendary Native American athlete. It was originally established in 1818 as Mauch Chunk where entrepreneurs led by Josiah White formed the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company that shipped anthracite coal and other goods to market via the Lehigh and Delaware Canals. The town’s steep hillsides, narrow streets, and terraced gardens earned it the nickname The Switzerland of America. Today, the restored Old Mauch Chunk Railroad Station in the center of the town offers visitor services and train rides into Lehigh Gorge. The Opera House presents live theater and music.

WPart of the Wyoming Valley with the Susquehanna River flowing through the center of town, in the 1800s, hundreds of thousands of immigrants came to Wilkes-Barre to work the mines leading to economic and cultural changes and affecting the railroad-and-canal system that stretched 165 miles southward to Bristol.

Arezza provides business travel services for energy, manufacturing and transportation projects managed in collaboration with local and regional partners. We are interested in working with local travel service providers to market and manage our International and North American visitors.
Highly Educated Travelers family and group vacationers select destinations primarily on-the-basis of cultural, gastronomic, wellness and other preferences; increasingly, they expect that the places they visit reflect their values on key issues like recycling practices, air and water quality, as well as the availability and quality of public transit. The Logistics of Travel are defined as: 
Anchoring stays in strategic locations along planned trip routes conveniently located to local points of interest and minimizing the number of accommodation changes; hence, fewer times packing and unpacking, thus lowering costs in
Hub and Spoke Locations smaller towns and rural communities with regional rail, bus, van, car and air connections strategically located within 200 or less miles of larger metropolitan areas 
Sightseeing, meals and other planned events in a hub and spoke fashion, saving time and money, but also an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the places and the people you are visiting
Mode of Transport selections are a function of number of persons, trip length as well as the time of year you are traveling. Rationalizing travel movements, ascertaining transport mode(s) availability and costs are the key to a successful trip planning. 
Business Travelers require efficient plans to meet trip objectives. This may entail visiting several locations in a compressed period-of-time to seek investment and sales opportunities. They look to Main Streets shopping and entertainment venues, Historic Districts and other community neighborhoods that have or plan to put in place energy savings measures as well as other environmental safeguards that help reduce the cost of doing business in that local area. A successful destination requires developing projects built around existing facilities that need upgrading and/or expansion to manage tourism flows and local production capabilities to enhance community offerings.

Marine Facilities Environmental and Regulatory Liabilities

 

Marine Facilities Environmental and Regulatory Liabilities 

 

Marine terminal facilities face a spectrum of environmental and regulatory exposures that  necessitates meticulous attention. Addressing these challenges is paramount for maintaining  compliance and minimizing risk. Among the most prevalent issues are:
Improperly Managed Underground Storage Tanks Ensuring the proper management of underground  storage tanks and associated pipes is essential to  prevent environmental hazards. It’s crucial to note that  Underground Storage Tank Age Triggers may result in  coverage changes, driven by federal regulations in the  early to mid-1980s that mandated tank removal and  replacement for stricter leak prevention and detection rules. 
Abandoned Underground Tanks Identifying and addressing underground tanks that have  been removed or abandoned for unknown reasons is  critical to avoid potential liabilities. 
Aboveground Storage Tank Inspections Regular testing and inspection of aboveground storage  tanks are necessary to detect and prevent leakage through  the bottom, especially when placed on soil. 
Secondary Containment at Liquid Storage Tanks Ensuring proper secondary containment at bulk aboveground liquid storage tanks and piers during fuel  coupling points is vital for spill prevention. 
Integrity Testing of Fuel Transfer Pipelines Regular integrity testing of fuel transfer pipelines is essential to maintain a secure and reliable fuel  transfer process. 
Support Structures for Pipelines Ensuring robust pipeline support structures over  surface waters prevents structural failures and potential  environmental damage. 
Fuel Spillage During Loading Operations Addressing sudden and chronic fuel spillage during  land-to-marine vessel loading operations is crucial for  environmental protection. 
Large Quantity Fuel Spills from Barge Unloading Implementing measures to prevent large quantity fuel spills  during the unloading of barges to land storage facilities is key. 
Emergency Response Equipment and Plans Having sufficient emergency response equipment and well defined plans for addressing fuel spills to surface waters is  essential for effective crisis management. 
Compliance with Combustion Emission Standards Ensuring compliance with emission standards from fuel-burning marine vessels helps reduce environmental impact. 
Proper Bilge Water Purging Proper procedures for purging bilge waters from marine  vessels are essential to prevent pollution. 
Asbestos and PCB Management Managing asbestos insulation around marinas and  addressing PCB-containing electrical equipment associated  with marinas are crucial steps in environmental risk reduction. 
Effective Housekeeping Practices Maintaining high standards of housekeeping practices helps  create a clean and safe environment, thereby reducing the  risk of environmental incidents. 
Site Pollution Policy Tank exposures can typically be underwritten into a site  pollution policy—a comprehensive program addressing site wide pollution exposures—at a cost that can be relatively  competitive annually within a three-year program term. 

Vessel Pollution Liability This comprehensive coverage is designed to protect your  business in the event or threat of a spill,   tailored for vessels,  shipyards, or marinas. It covers OPA, Non-OPA, Fines and  Penalties, State Fines and Penalties, ERCLA, and  Non-CERCLA.

Green Hydrogen for Ports Marine Craft & Trucks

 

Production and Delivery of Green Hydrogen

For Ports Marine Craft and Trucks

 Clean Green Hydrogen hydrogen is the universe’s oldest, most abundant element; It is found in molecules like H20, where it is one of the basic ingredients, is extracted through electrolysis and stored as electrical energy. When combined with oxygen in a fuel cell, a flow of electrons is created, resulting in electricity used for multiple applications, including powering fuel cells, storage and used as renewable energy.

Clean Power Generation Fuel Cell Engines FCEs produce electricity without burning fuel, hence zero emissions with water as the primary byproduct. Fuel Cell stacks combine to form power modules, each comprising multiple stacks that efficiently generate electricity from the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.
Sustainable Energy with Scalable Power a modular fuel cell technology that delivers consistent power that lasts throughout your duty-cycle.
Fuel Cell Engines power modules, along with balance-of-plant (BOP) components are integrated into a fuel cell engine. The BOP includes systems such as air and hydrogen supply, cooling, and control units, ensuring optimal conditions for the fuel cell stacks.This collaborative integration results in a compact and robust fuel cell engine capable of converting hydrogen into electricity with high  efficiency and reliability.
Refueling Stations for Hydrogen-Powered Ports Trucks and Ships
A Modular Hydrogen Platform is a scalable, skid mounted, electrolyzer system and ready-to-install; an industrial scale electrolyzer system based on proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology using renewable energy to power the process.
