There is a debate in the senior management team of MXM on the proposal of building the plant, where several senior managers oppose the idea. Their main argument is that the proposed location of the plant is too near to a river. They are concerned that the chemical waste from the plant might contaminate the water in the river which is the main source of raw water for1,292 areas in seven districts with1.2 million people. Therefore, additional investment might be needed to identify methods to dispose of the waste produced bythe plant.

What would be your response to this issue? Should MXM build the plant?
