Section 3: Legal and Other Requirements
State and federal regulations that Riordan Manufacturing must adhere to include the following:
Hazardous waste generator requirements found in Title 40 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 260, 261 and 262, or their state equivalent
This program requires any company that generates over 2,200 pounds, or 1,000 kilograms of hazardous waste per month to identify all hazardous wastes they generate.Get a company's specific identification number, follow specific container management and labeling requirements, ship hazardous waste off-site to a qualified treatment facility, and accompany all shipments with a manifest.
Air pollution permit requirements pursuant to the regulations established by the Federal Clean Air Act. or its state equivalent
The company must determine how much air emissions, such as particulates, volatile organic compounds,andhazardous air permits, they emit and secure a construction and operating permit that limits how much maybe emitted to the air.
Storm water permit pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, or the state or local equivalent
Any company that allows storm water to flow from property in contact with certain types of industrial wastes and goes to a ditch, sewer, river, or stream must secure a permit that controls how manypollutants maybe discharged.
Section 4: Environmental Aspects and Impacts
Select the three least sustainable practices identified in Section 2. Specify what the practice, activity, product, or service is, what aspect of the environment is affected, and what the environmental impact is.

What is the total travel time of the pulse as measured
: A light pulse emitted by the rocket travels toward the mirror and is reflected back to the rocket. The front of the rocket is a distance 1.88 10 ^12 m from the mirror (as measured by observers in S) at the moment the light pulse leaves the rocket...

Production requirement at minimum machine cost
: If it costs $50 per hour to operate A and $30 per hour to operate B, determine how many hours per week to operate each machine to meet the production requirement at minimum machine cost.

Find the change in the y direction of the proton.
: A proton enters a region where the electric field has a magnitude of 500 N/C and is produced by two charged plates. The length of the plates is .200M. The initial velocity is 3X10^6 m/s in the postive x direction.
