Case Studies - Environment and Energy. Volume I. Handbook,
Abstract
During the last few years it has become apparent that few good case studies concerning environmental or energy issues are available for the graduate student or the professional. In order to attempt to fill this void we have put together a short book of five cases--four that deal primarily with environmental issues and one that highlights a typical problem in the energy arena. Case number one concerns the problem of handling liquid industrial wastes generated at an Air Force owned but contractor operated facility. The second case concerns the environmental impact statement (EIS) process in the construction of an interstate highway city bypass. The third case is rather unique in format for it requires the student to present a briefing on all of the energy conservation directives and guidance provided by the Air Force to its installations. The briefing is to be prepared for the base commander and challenges the students to provide this decision-maker with all he needs to know about energy conservation and Air Force policy and do it in 15 minutes. The fourth case is about air pollution abatement. How should this base solve this pollution problem is the problem presented to the student. The last case concerns municipal solid waste alternatives available to a large metropolitan area.
