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

15. 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,

16. 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.
