ENV 320 Week 3 Environmental Assessment and
Recommendation Plan (2 Papers)
This Tutorial contains 2 Papers

Read the following scenario, as a Learning Team, to perform an
environmental assessment:
Your team works for an environmental consulting firm that has a client
who has just purchased a local municipal golf course. There are two
issues that they have requested your team to investigate and make
recommendations on the following:
• The golf course property includes several breeding grounds for
mosquitoes, including wetlands and retention ponds. Surrounding
the golf course perimeter are residential areas. The state has been
concerned over several incidences of West Nile Virus (WNV) and
your client is interested in controlling mosquito populations in the
wetland and pond areas through the use of a pesticide known as
Malathion.
• The previous owners did not manage waste at their facility
properly. The facility maintenance area has four 55-gallon drums
of unmarked liquids stored behind the maintenance shed, several
showing signs of leakage. There are several piles of lime near the
maintenance shed; and three cabinets of old paint, spray lubricants
and cleaners, solvents, and oily rags with a strong solvent smell
that were used in maintaining equipment. The property includes a
pro shop and a restaurant and bar where food will be prepared and
eaten.
Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word report that would make recommendations
to the company. The report must include the following:
• Perform a risk assessment to determine if your team would
recommend the use of Malathion for mosquito control. Use the
four-step risk assessment model in Ch. 7 of your text in evaluating
the risks of using Malathion, and not using Malathion and the

associated risk of WNV cases. Include all aspects that may be of
interest to your client--the ecological, human health, and short- and
long-term economic aspects.
• Conduct a regulatory analysis of any components of the Toxic
Substances Control Act or Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act that might need to be considered if your client
chooses to use Malathion.
• Develop a brief waste management plan--determine any possible
existing non-compliances with waste regulations, provide a list of
wastes, their regulatory classification, and your recommendations
on how they should be stored and disposed. Include plans for
handling the situation in the maintenance barn to comply with
federal and state regulations.
Cite at least four references.
Format your report consistent with APA guidelines.
