Before you begin the assignment this week, carefully read over the Capstone Project instructions located in Week Five of the course under Capstone Project. Each assignment in Week One through Four will have you complete a shortened section of the project focused on the development of a sustainable community. This week, your assignment will be to construct Section 4 for the Capstone Project. You are to describe your plan in detail utilizing the knowledge gained throughout the program. Your assignment this week must contain the following section from the Capstone Project instructions:

: Description of solid and hazardous waste treatment and recycling plan

• This section should discuss how you will deal with solid and hazardous waste in a sustainable manner. A recycling policy should also be a part of the waste management plan.

As part of your development plan for section four, you are required to discuss the following four topics:

1. How you will ensure sustainability. This should include a discussion of how the plan is designed so the community is not significantly contributing to climate change.
2. If applicable, what laws or regulations govern the various topics (for instance, the clean air act has strict regulations on power plant construction)? Additionally, you should note if an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) is needed for any of the plans.
3. A significant discussion surrounding the economics of each section should be present. If your plan is too expensive, alternative options may be needed. Make sure that your plan is economically feasible.
4. The ethics of your community plan should also be discussed for each section. How do ethical considerations play into your choices?
