Scholarly Activity

1. Open your current course project document, A Pollution Prevention Plan (P3) Pre-Assessment Study, and review your grading feedback from your professor.

2. Make all necessary changes to your Unit VI work, pursuant to your grading feedback.

3. Under the eighth level 1 (centered, bold) heading titled Engineering Opportunities for Pollution Prevention, consider your constructed table of available pollution prevention (P2) control technology options for each ecosystem disturbance from the Unit VI work. Now, carefully select at least one control technology to apply as an appropriate P2 technique for each industry sector’s identified ecosystem disturbance.

4. As you compare your previously tabulated total maximum daily load (TMDL) limits from the Unit II work, describe how each P2 control technique will be expected to affect the facility’s effluent permit TMDL limits for each considered ecosystem disturbance. If you find that it is more appropriate to select more than one P2 technique for a given ecosystem disturbance, you are encouraged to do so.

5. Be sure and create at least one paragraph for each industry sector represented within each of the scenario applications (natural gas well, confined animal feed operations of CAFO lagoons and carcass pits, gypsum and caliche open pit excavation mines, corn and alfalfa fields, and the feed mill). You may find it convenient to use a level 2 heading (left-justified, bold) to keep these scenario applications separated for discussion within your document.

6. Be sure to cite every selected control option with APA Style as you write, using the CSU Citation Guide as your APA citations style guide. It also provides guidance that will help you with APA-Style formatting.

7. Under the Abstract heading on p. 2 of the project document, write a maximum of one sentence that reflects what you have addressed in the document for this particular unit. This will conclude the abstract content for this document. Be sure to keep the abstract blocked (not indented) and double-spaced.

8. Under the References heading on the last page, update your references to include the source references that you used to inform your work in this section of your project. This will conclude the reference entries for this document. Be sure to use the CSU Citation Guide as your APA references style guide.

9. You must use at least your textbook and at least one additional scholarly source (either a book or a scholarly journal article from the CSU Online Library databases) for each section of this document as indicated in earlier units, and this requirement applies to this assignment’s section also. Each of your sections’ content must be at least one full page in length, in Times New Roman 12-pt. font, and double-spaced, with 1” margins.

Once you enter your information for this unit, your Course Project Document should be complete, and it should resemble a formal research paper. Compare it to the example paper we provided in Unit II and make sure it is formatted correctly before submitting it.
