Exercise One
The objective of this exercise is to create a map of the property, locate important features and potential pollution sources, and indicate their proximity to natural resources. An architectural drawing or existing map can be used or you can draw your own map. If drawing your own map, it is not necessary to be highly precise. The intent is to illustrate important features of the operation and their proximity to natural resources.
With an existing map or one you create, indicate the following items on the map.
