In this assignment, you will submit a research plan for a public health department to investigate a possible crisis and recommend a public health response to this potential crisis.  Directions:  Read through the following Centervale scenario and investigate the linkages between the health and illness problems in Centervale and the water supplies and waste disposal services. You must consider the full public health impact of the landfill situation and the water supply policies.     Centervale’s Landfill Facility    Centervale’s landfill facility has accepted, with the town’s approval, contaminated soil from the Middle Earth Energy Corporation. The landfill is located above ground and the operators plan on selling the soil to small farms in the county. The soil is known to be contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and lead that exceed the limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In the past, the EPA has discovered several leaks in the landfill’s liner.    The landfill is located above the town’s main aquifer, which supplies well water to 10,000 residents who live in either Simon or Diamond Townships. In Taylor Township, 750 residents use both well water and Metropolis water for small farms. The other residents only use well water.     Part 1: Research Plan   Design a detailed 4–5-page plan to research the impact of these services on the community's health. Your plan must diagram or otherwise specify the steps from research to risk assessment and propose a plan for risk management. In your plan, include the following: 1.Identify the potential crisis and use that information to develop a clearly stated research objective. 2.Identify the data that must be collected and justify the purpose of collecting the data. 3.Identify possible collaborators in data collections. 4.Identify and justify the type of studies that need to be designed. 5.Predict any barriers to conducting research.  Use your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet to conduct research. Cite all the sources. Organize the information in a logical structure. Support your ideas with research information and reasons. Consider important alternatives and explain why you select a particular one. You may use your previous assignments for justification of your plan.  Part 2: Response Plan  Consider the full public health impact of the event and how your research will be applied. Design a 4–5-page detailed set of recommendations for action to remove or minimize risk to Centervale citizens, including the following: 1.Describe and justify the persons or agencies that must be contacted. 2.Identify possible collaborators in reducing risk, and explain what they can do to reduce the risk. 3.Justify the expense (i.e., time, labor, equipment, or money) each collaborator would incur by explaining how their action would result in benefits. 4.Describe and justify the type of monitoring that would be needed. 5.Predict any barriers to implementi ...

1. In this assignment, you will submit a research plan for a public
health department to investigate a possible crisis and
recommend a public health response to this potential crisis.
Directions: Read through the following Centervale scenario
and investigate the linkages between the health and illness
problems in Centervale and the water supplies and waste
disposal services. You must consider the full public health
impact of the landfill situation and the water supply policies.
Centervale’s Landfill Facility Centervale’s landfill facility
has accepted, with the town’s approval, contaminated soil from
the Middle Earth Energy Corporation. The landfill is located
above ground and the operators plan on selling the soil to small
farms in the county. The soil is known to be contaminated with
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and lead that exceed the
limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In the
past, the EPA has discovered several leaks in the landfill’s
liner. The landfill is located above the town’s main aquifer,
which supplies well water to 10,000 residents who live in either
Simon or Diamond Townships. In Taylor Township, 750
residents use both well water and Metropolis water for small
farms. The other residents only use well water. Part 1:
Research Plan Design a detailed 4–5-page plan to research the
impact of these services on the community's health. Your plan
must diagram or otherwise specify the steps from research to
risk assessment and propose a plan for risk management. In
your plan, include the following: 1.Identify the potential crisis
and use that information to develop a clearly stated research
objective. 2.Identify the data that must be collected and justify
the purpose of collecting the data. 3.Identify possible
collaborators in data collections. 4.Identify and justify the type
of studies that need to be designed. 5.Predict any barriers to
conducting research. Use your textbook, the Argosy University
online library resources, and the Internet to conduct research.
Cite all the sources. Organize the information in a logical
structure. Support your ideas with research information and

2. reasons. Consider important alternatives and explain why you
select a particular one. You may use your previous assignments
for justification of your plan. Part 2: Response Plan Consider
the full public health impact of the event and how your research
will be applied. Design a 4–5-page detailed set of
recommendations for action to remove or minimize risk to
Centervale citizens, including the following: 1.Describe and
justify the persons or agencies that must be contacted.
2.Identify possible collaborators in reducing risk, and explain
what they can do to reduce the risk. 3.Justify the expense (i.e.,
time, labor, equipment, or money) each collaborator would
incur by explaining how their action would result in benefits.
4.Describe and justify the type of monitoring that would be
needed. 5.Predict any barriers to implementing your
interventions. Use your textbook, the Argosy University online
library resources, and the Internet to conduct research. Cite all
the sources. Organize the information in a logical structure.
Support your recommendations with research information and
reasons. Consider important alternatives and explain why you
select a particular one. Recommendations for this assignment:
To prepare the health plan, you may begin with an outline with
two levels of headings. For each heading and subheading,
describe the information you plan to include in 1–2 sentences.
You may contact your facilitator with an outline of your plan
before submitting the final paper before the final assignment is
due. You should utilize at least 5 scholarly sources beyond the
course readings in your research. Your paper should be written
in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical
scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of
sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and
punctuation. Write an 8–10-page report in Word format. Apply
APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file
naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A2.doc. For
example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be
named SmithJ_M5_A2.doc. By the due date assigned, deliver
your assignment to the Submissions Area. LASA Grading
