What could be the alternatives and decision criteria in dealing with hazardous waste disposal in different industries or localities?
Question 1ve
You have recently relocated to an area where air pollution is a perturbing issue. The
air pollution is caused by Disruptor IV (an integrated energy and chemicals company).
The company makes billions in revenue and it has been paying fines (penalties) for
exceeding the agreed air pollution limits with ease. In a meeting that was held by the
community, it was put forward that either the company should relocate (as they lived
there before the establishment of the company) or the smoke towers should be
relooked and increase their height.
You were required to participate in a poll regarding the two suggestions put forward in
the meeting. Should the company relocate or increase the height of the smoke towers,
why?

- What are Environmental Factors that could lead to failure of a water treatment plant?arrow_forwardTHINK IT THROUGH You are the mayor of a rural Nebraska town along the route of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, and a new U.S. presidential administration has reversed President Obama’s decision and invited TransCanada to build the pipeline extension. Some of your town’s residents are eager to have jobs they believe the pipeline will bring. Others are fearful that oil leaks from the pipeline could contaminate the water supply. Some of your town’s landowners are looking forward to receiving payments from TransCanada for use of their land, whereas others dread the prospect of noise, pollution, and trees being cut on their property. If the company receives too much local opposition, it says it may move the pipeline route away from your town. What information would you seek from TransCanada, from your state regulators, and from scientists and engineers before deciding whether support for the pipeline is in the best interest of your town?

- Caselet 2: You are an environmental engineer for one of the many local plants. That plant discharges effluents into a lake in a flourishing tourist area. Although all the plants are marginally profitable, they compete for the same customers. Your responsibilities are to monitor the water and air discharges at your plant and the periodic reporting to Dept. of Anti-pollution. You have just prepared a report that indicates that the level of pollution in the Plant’s water discharges slightly exceed the legal limits. Your supervisor says you should regard the excess as a mere ‘technicality’, and he asks you to ‘adjust’ the data so that the data appears to be in compliance. He says that slight excess is not going to endanger human or fish life any more than if the plant were actually in compliance. However he says, solving the problem would require a very heavy investment. He explains, “We can not afford new equipment. It might cost even a few jobs. It will set us behind our competitors.…arrow_forwardWho is responsible for the Disposal of all waste at the site?arrow_forwardYou are an engineer hired by a community trying to site a modern landfill (Sanitary landfill).
