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?

CASE STUDY You are an environmental engineer for one of the many local plants. That plant discharges effluentsinto a lake in a flourishing tourist area. Although all the plants are marginally profitable, they competefor the same customers. Your responsibilities are to monitor the water and air discharges at your plantand the periodic reporting to Dept. of Anti-pollution. You have just prepared a report that indicates thatthe level of pollution in the Plant’s water discharges slightly exceed the legal limits. Your supervisorsays you should regard the excess as a mere ‘technicality’, and he asks you to ‘adjust’ the data so thatthe data appears to be in compliance. He says that slight excess is not going to endanger human or fishlife any more than if the plant were actually in compliance. However, he says, solving the problemwould require a very heavy investment. He explains, “We cannot afford new equipment. It might costeven a few jobs. It will put us behind our competitors. Besides, he…

The water engineer aims at prevention contamination of water supplies at all times. In most small water supply systems, however, economic reasons prevent 24-hour daily water service. This creates a risk of polluted water infiltrating into the pipelines through leaks in pipe joints and service taps. How would the water engineer ensure that the pollution do not pose a health risk to domestic consumption? Give example of factors to consider when selecting the material for the pipe.?
Lyanna, a former employee at a power plant, was injured on the jobsite last year: Under the OSH Act, what records does she have a protected right to request? O Medical records only O OSHA form 300 and her medical and exposure records O OSHA form 300 onlv O A summary of injuries at the jobsite Extension cords in walking paths, improper storage of chemicals, and improper processes are all examples of chance occurrences O weather-related accidents O unsafe conditions O unsafe behavior by employees If the EEC has completed an investigation and determined that discrimination has taken place, it may seek: O to notify the employee of the results. O to reach a voluntary settlement with the employer O to contact the employer to obtain a lawyer. O to finish in 10 months or less. This is the process by which parties arrive at a contract: 1 unionization 2 preparation 3 dispute moderation 4 collective bargaining
Mr. Daniel Sowah works for the High-way authority as an Engineer in their Weija, Ga-South District office in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. He is a well-known registered professional engineer in his home region. Mr. Sowah’s primary job responsibility is the preparation of environmental impact reports for proposed construction projects initiated by municipalities in the Greater Accra Region. Mr. Sowah receives a call from High-way authority District office in Akyemansa in Eastern Region of Ghana that the engineer in that office responsible for preparing environmental impact reports has just resigned. The Akyemansa office has a contract to prepare an environmental impact report for a construction project that is planned by the regional education office and so his services is needed immediately by the office. Mr. Sowah travels to Akyemansa to gather the data needed to prepare the report. He then travels back to his office in Weija, Ga-South District office in the Greater Accra and…

Case4: A consulting engineering company was awarded the contract for designing, preparing the specifications, and providing "field inspection services" (monitoring the construction) of a sewage treatment plant being built for a small municipality. The construction proceeded routinely to completion. The consulting company employed Engineer A, an environmental engineer experienced in wastewater treatment, to assist in the field inspection. During the final commissioning of the plant, Engineer A observed that the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of the effluent was frequently above the acceptable limit. Engineer A contacted the design office at his engineering company, and after reviewing the case with an environmental consultant, he soon realized that the plant had been designed for average flows, but several food-processing industries in the municipality occasionally fed "slugs" of raw sewage to the plant. The biochemical oxygen demand would increase rapidly when one of these slugs…
