A light manufacturing facility produces 125,000 gallons per week of sanitary sewage and uncontaminated wash water which are discharged to a municipal sewer system. A small parts rinsing operation flushes about 12 ounces per week of trichloroethylene down the sink. Does the facility have to manage their wastewater as hazardous waste (see 40 CFR 261.3)?

In some lakes, the fish are contaminated with methylmercury. As a member of the Department of Environmental Quality, you have been assigned the job of developing an “advisory” for adult males to limit consumption of fish from these lakes. The advisory will be in terms of a recommended limit on the number of fish meals per unit of time. You must determine the unit of time, that is one per day, or one per week, or one per month, etc. In addition to the EPA recommended values for estimating intake, use 1 × 10−6 for the fraction ingested, a 30-year exposure duration, and a 30-year averaging time to estimate the chronic daily intake. Your superiors have set a hazard index of 0.10 as a matter of policy. The RfD for methylmercury is 1 × 10−4 mg · kg−1 · day−1.
A company is currently discharging 200 L/min of 100 mg/L contaminant into a river. The river flowing past the company has an upstream flow rate of 3800 L/min with 0 mg/L of the target contaminant. The company must reduce its effluent concentration to below 20 mg/L (a) what is the current contaminant concentration past the point of discharge? (b) How much clean water would be needed to dilute the contaminant stream to 20 mg/L.? (c) What would be the contaminant concentration past the point of discharge if the company's contaminant stream was diluted with the water in part b?
The Philippines has a 17-year-old law RA 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act) which mandates all, especially the local government units, to adopt a systematic, comprehensive, and ecological solid waste management program that shall ensure the protection of public health and environment; utilize environmentally sound methods; set targets and guidelines for solid waste avoidance and reduction, and ensure proper segregation, collection, transport, and storage of solid waste. A residential community of 5000 families has already filled up their landfill. The local government unit is now scouting for areas for the new landfill and the recycling plant to be built. Reports showed three possible locations. - 600 acres of residential lot 10 km away from the original landfill - 1000 acres of vacant land near a water reservoir - 500 acres of land 4 km from a bird sanctuary what is the best option to choose?
