Final Project – Recommendation Report

Audience Analysis

Who are my readers? The readers of this documents will be the executives of the various mining plants within the city of Fort Worth in Texas.

Why is my audience reading my document? Fort Worth is one of the areas within Texas together with Dallas where a lot of oil and gas mining activities are going on. It has been shown through various reports that the mining process of fracking that has been used by the many plants in Fort Worth and Dallas is one of the reasons why there has been a rise of earthquake incidences in these areas (Kuchment, 2016). This means the fracking activities are polluting the environment. The readers are reading this document to get the useful recommendations on how to limit the environmental pollution through fracking activities.

What are the attitudes and expectations of my readers? The attitude of my audience is that of reluctance (Markel, 2015). This is because there are various ways in which the environmental clean-up will have negative impacts on the companies. Another reason is the fact that such environmental cleanups are expensive and costly as a lot of resources are needed for them to be successful. This will also be one of their expectations, that the cost of the proposal will be immense. This means these people will have to be convinced that in the long run, the activity will be beneficial to the companies.

How will this document be used by the readers? This document will be used by the readers to help in knowing the various ways in which they can reduce the harmful effects that fracking activities that they are engaging in have on the environment. They will be using this document to change some of the ways in which they engage in the mining of oil and gas in the areas of Fort Worth, Texas. Lastly, this document will also be used by readers to show their juniors in the field better ways of engaging in their activities without polluting the environment.

Purpose

The objective of this recommendation or proposal is to help provide a detailed recommendation report about cleaning up environmental pollution caused by fracking. That is removing or changing the way in which the companies are doing mining activities in Fort Worth Texas can avoid the cases of human activities motivated earthquakes for the sake of preventing an environmental crisis.

Summary

In Fort Worth and Dallas Texas, there have been researched based reports that have suggested that the increased incidences of earthquakes in the areas are as a result of mining activities through the fracking process. Owing to this, I was instructed to write a proposal in the form of a recommendation report about the environmental issue of fracking. Therefore, this is an environmental cleanup report that states a plan on how the cleanup process will be implemented by the stakeholders. This includes the date, how and when the environmental cleanup process will take.

Introduction

Earthquakes for a very long time have been considered to be as a result of nature. However, it has been suggested through scientific research that certain human activities have increased earthquake incidences. For example, in Texas, in particular, Fort Worth and Dallas, there has been an increased earthquake occurrence. This has been argued to be as a result of the mining of oil and gas in these areas. Mining is done using the fracking process where after the oil and gas have been separated from the salty water, the brine is pumped down in a set of deep wells. This pumping down of the brine results into an increased pressure on the ground resulting in earthquake incidences. This means that the process of fracking and in particular the aspect of pumping brine down the pipes is a form of environmental pollution.

These activities of environmental pollution are what has necessitated the coming up with this document. It is time we change the way things are being done so that we can help prevent and reduce environmental pollution (Snower, 2009). This document is providing the various mining companies within Fort Worth, Texas with particular recommendations that can enable them to reduce their contribution towards environmental pollution that leads to earthquakes. This is a document to help change things for the oil and gas mining companies within Fort Worth, Texas. In the end, we all want is an environment where everything is occurring as a result of nature but not as a result of certain human activities that have negative consequences on the people.

Proposed Tasks

In helping reduce the environmental pollution in Fort Worth, Texas as a result of mining activities, there are various tasks that this paper will be making a recommendation to achieve that goal. There following are some of the proposed tasks:

· There will be a training session for the executive directors on the importance of having a company which promoted the environment. That is ensuring that their activities as an organization have less adverse effects on the environment. This will take part in one of the companies within Fort Worth.

· Engaging in scientific research on how the mining of oil and gas can be mined without using the fracking process that has been said to have impacts regarding contributing to earthquake incidences. This will be looking for alternatives to fracking.

· Another task will be to try and remove some of the brine that has been pumped back into the mining pipes as a result of the fracking process. This is to help try and reduce the pressure that comes with such salty water being pumped back into the ground through the mining pipes.

Schedule

The whole project is to be implemented in its entirety and successful, there is a time span that it has to take as some of the activities take days for them to be completed. This is an approximate timeline that can be used to carry out the project:

1. The training session is supposed to take three days as it will involve intense training of the various stakeholders of how important environmental conservation is to the world.

2. The scientific research will take one week as it will involve various practical’s and studies to come with various methods that have been used as alternatives to the fracking process in the mining of oil and gas.

3. Removing brine will also take three days to be completed owing to the amount of brine that has been pumped back into the ground.

This means the project will take an average of 13 days to be completed.

Experience

Nothing gives a someone personal satisfaction in life than just being part of the group that is making a positive change in the world. It is not my aim to stop engaging in activities that improve the environment through reducing environmental pollution. I want to continue participating in the various activities that help in reducing pollution. I want to leave the world a better place for the future generations.
