I would then developed a list of environmental problems, and determine which ones are high-risk; and pose a serious threat to health, the environment, or quality of life. There are numbers of projects to evaluate risks to people and ecosystems and to help them make the best use of their environment protection resources. If conflicts are not resolved, the town of Coopersville will suffer: 1. MCL(Maximum Contaminate level) of drinking water 2. Monitoring of drinking water will be cited 3. Drinking water system is undersized; pressure is to low to meet firefighting requirement. 4. High fecal coliform counts in private wells supplies near septic tank where high ground water 5.

In adequate performance indicate that the operations at the existing facility could be improved or that
