The director of the Springfield Municipal Water Treatment Plant has suggested to the city

manager that the city could cut its costs for chlorine by $25\%$ by switching from $150$ lb

cylinders to ton containers, which hold $2,000$ lbs$.$ What effect would this switch have on the

toxic endpoint distance for the plant$$s worst$-$case scenario? The plant currently stores

chlorine in an open shed $($it has a roof, but no walls$)$ next to the pump building. Use the

Guidance for OCA to calculate the endpoint distance for both container sizes. Discuss the

effect of this change in terms of a risk$-$benefit analysis, given that the plant is located on

the Springfield River, which cuts through the very hilly, forested region around Springfield,

about a mile upstream from the edge of town. Advise the city manager of what she should

do given that she has responsibilities for the safety of municipal employees and for the

residents of Springfield, as well as fiscal responsibilities
