Question

On your first day at work for a solid waste consulting organization, your supervisor asks you to prepare a proposal (in outline form) to evaluate the feasibility of ocean dumping of baled solid wastes. The only information available is that the Press-It-Tight Baling Co. claims that it can produce bales with an average density of 1100 kg/m^3 and that if these bales of solid wastes are dumped in the ocean, they will sink to the bottom because of their greater density and remain there, causing no problems. Structure your proposal by asking yourself what kind of information, data, and criteria would be required to protect the environment and to formulate public policy concerning ocean dumping. This information will be useful for places like Singapore. [Max 1 page]
