Unit II Project

Instructions
As a continuation of our course project due in Unit VIII (a proposal for an industrial and hazardous waste treatment facility), complete the next two sections (management considerations and physical treatment) of your proposal by following the instructions carefully, and then submit your continued draft of your proposal into Blackboard for grading.

Instructions:

Closely read the Required Reading assignment from Bahadori (2014) and the Unit Lesson within the Study Guide.
Open your proposal draft from Unit I and make any improvements to your draft using your professors feedback from the Unit I project assignment.
Open the Unit II Study Guide, read the Unit II Lesson, and then work with the embedded interactive model to decide what physical treatment equipment to include in your treatment process design.
Continue from your Unit I Project and make your second level one heading titled Management Considerations. Discuss the following variables as part of the scenario. Be sure to mention your intentions to provide physical treatment, chemical treatment, biological treatment, general sewage treatment techniques, and solid waste treatment using the financial resources identified below. Also, consider how you would organize, manage, and lead staff. Discuss what staff certifications and facility licenses will be required in order to operate the facility. Finally, discuss when you anticipate that the facility will demonstrate a return on the investment (ROI):
Capital costs of construction budget: $1,000,000 (5-year note)
Capital cost of equipment budget: $1,000,000 (5-year)
O&M budget: $500,000/year
Forecasted revenue generation: $1,000,000/year
Useful life of plant: 15 years minimum
Loan interest rate: 5% (5 year note)
Operating hours: Monday through Friday: 0800hrs 1700hrs
Available personnel: 4 staff members
You are required to describe the scenario in at least one page.

Continue from your Unit I Project and make your third level one heading titled Physical Treatment. Discuss what physical treatment equipment you are proposing for your treatment process. Be sure and describe why you selected the equipment and what final effluent concentrations you anticipate will be lowered with the equipment. You are required to describe the equipment selection in at least one page.

Unit II Scholarly Activity

For this assignment, you will define the research objectives and develop the research questions and hypotheses to set the stage for the Sun Coast Remediation research project.

You will utilize this template to complete the Unit II assignment.

Be sure to include the following sections in your submission, and remember to use APA-formatted section headings and subheadings.

Introduction
Research problems
Research objectives: Refer to the Introduction and Statement of Problems sections provided in the Unit II Assignment Template to make explicit statements as to the objectives of this study. For example, One objective of this research study is to determine the direction (either positive or negative) and the strength of relationships between ABC Companys various consumer promotions and sales revenue. This objective is intended to determine which promotions may be more effective and strategically important. Research objectives should be discussed for each problem identified.
Research questions and hypotheses: Provide research questions and null and alternative hypotheses that align with the research objectives and problems. For example:
RQ1: What is the relationship between Promotion 1 and sales revenue?
Ho1 (null hypothesis): There is no statistically significant correlation between Promotion 1 (independent variable) and sales revenue (dependent variable).
Ha1 (alternative hypothesis): There is a statistically significant correlation between Promotion 1 and sales revenue.
RQ2: What is the relationship between Promotion 2 and sales revenue?
Ho2: There is no statistically significant correlation between Promotion 2 and sales revenue.
Ha2: There is a statistically significant correlation between Promotion 2 and sales revenue.
RQ3: Are there differences in return on investment (ROI) between the various promotions?
Ho3: There are no statistically significant differences in ROI between Promotion 1 and Promotion 2.
Ha3: There are statistically significant differences in ROI between Promotion 1 and Promotion 2.
The title and reference pages do not count toward the page requirement for this assignment. This assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length, follow APA-style formatting and guidelines, and use references and citations as necessary.
