Part 1.Several weeks ago a truck overturned on off-ramp to I-270 near the Reynoldsburg exit. This accident caused fuel oil to be spilled in the grassy area inside the off-ramp. A consultant for the Ohio Department of Transportation delineated the area of soil affected by the fuel spill using in-the-field sampling and analysis methods. The area containing fuel oil was determined to be 100 feet long, 20 feet wide and 3 feet deep. A contractor has been hired to excavate the fuel oil contaminated soil. As part of the contractors planning to minimize traffic disruption and closure of the off-ramp, a project scientist is determining how many truck loads will be required to haul away the contaminated soil. Your job as the project scientist is to determine how many truck loads are required. The trucks are not allowed to haul more than 17 tons per load in order to avoid the Ohio Public Utility Commissions fines for overweight trucks. Soil expands by a factor of 1.25 when excavated. The excavated soil has a projected density of 2,430 pounds per cubic yard. There are 27 ft. per cubic yard, and 2000 pounds per ton. How many truckloads are required to remove the soil?

Part 2 The transportation and disposal of the soil containing the fuel at a permited landfill is $45 per ton. If the trucking company's insurance carrier has a $5,000 deductible, what will be insurance company be required to pay for soil disposal for this accident?
