ABC’s chemical waste is stored in a warehouse at an off-site location. While inspecting the warehouse, engineer Scott Lewis notices several leaking drums. He calls Tom Treehorn, head of ABC’s Division of Chemical Waste. Tom responds, “I’ll be right over with a crew to bring the leaking drums over here.” Scott points out that the law forbids returning chemical waste to the “home” site. Tom replies, “I know, but I don’t have any confidence in the off-site folks handling this. We know how to handle this best. It might not be the letter of the law, but our handling it captures its spirit.” • Scott believes that Tom Treehorn is serious about preventing environmental problems — especially those that might be caused by ABC. Still, he knows that the Environmental Protection Agency will be upset if it finds out about Tom’s way of dealing with the problem; and if anything goes wrong, ABC could get into serious legal difficulties. After all, he thinks, ABC is not a waste disposal facility. • What should Scott do at this point? Q1 – write the identification of the problem Q2- what is the factual issue and conceptual issue Q3- write identification of alternative course actions Q4- write the evaluation of alternative solutions Q5- write the justification of choice 26-lastly write the action plan and implications of decisions.
