If you have questions regarding your sources or general questions regarding the assessment, please contact your professor.

For this Assessment, you will provide written responses to questions based on the two case scenarios provided below. The scenarios will incorporate practical aspects of the material covered in the first three units into a real life situation that might be faced by the Environmental Manager's professional duties, responsibilities or working environment. These scenario assignments are three-part assignments; students will submit three separate documents answering each of the questions that follow the scenario that is described. APA rules for quoting, paraphrasing, citing, and listing of sources are to be followed. Grading for this assignment will be based on the content of your responses to each of the questions. In addition, you will be graded on spelling, grammar, and the proper listing and citing of sources.

Case Scenario #1

You are the chief Environmental, Safety and Health (EHS) professional for your small municipallity and it is the first work day after the Christmas Holiday. You are settling in and looking forward to the typically nice and quiet period until the end of the year. So quiet of a time it generally is that you decided, for once, to let the rest of your staff enjoy the holidays with friends and family. The day has gone well, as you had expected and it is a little after noon when you receive your first phone call of the day.

The voice on the other end of the phone is a familiar one and after you exchange season pleasantries you are informed that there was a car fire in the City Hall parking lot and during the fire the car battery was destroyed, spilling its contents on the ground and possibly into the stormwater system.

Case Scenario #2

One of your personnel discovers containers placed in the wood line at the edge of your facilities property. The containers (3-55 gallon drums and some old 5-gallon paint pails containing some dried and some still wet latex paint; in addition there are several cans that are labeled as solvent based paint) are too old to determine the rightful owner or the contents within. One 55 gallon drum is sealed yet it appears to be “bulging”. The other one has no more than one inch of residue remaining on the bottom. The third 55 gallon drum is labelled “mirror backing paint – contains lead pigment”. It's outside condition is good, but it appears to be almost 50% full.

In addition to the Case Scenario component of this Assessment, you will also be required to answer a series of multiple choice questions. A document containing the information needed to provide accurate responses to these questions can be accessed by selecting the link below.
