Operational Period 3

Message 3:

• It is now 12:15 p.m., and the HazMat team arrives at the scene.

Task

• Update your IAP to reflect the new information.

Task: • The Hazardous Materials team advises you that you need to

contact a clean-up contractor. The Water Treatment facility is a municipal entity and as such will be responsible for the entire cost of any clean up. With already record low water tax collections the municipality is extremely taxed. The clean up contractors for hazardous materials events is usually taken from a State bid list. The Mayor has informed you that his childhood friend and campaign manager is the owner of a well known clean-up contracting business. He is however not on the established state list. The Mayor has assurances from his friend that he will minimize the clean-up costs while still completing the legally required clean-up. Given this information, formulate an ethical argument either for or against the use of the Mayor’s friend’s company. You may cite regulation from your local area if you wish or personal experience if you would like. If you choose to use personal experience as your argument make sure you include a detailed description of your experience. THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWER! To receive full credit you must include WHY you would or would not!
