The bottom of Onondaga Lake in upstate New

York contains large amounts of pollutants. One

proposal to clean the lake bottom requires that

the pollutants be removed and stored nearby.

People who live near the proposed storage sites

are opposed to this plan. The officials who must

decide on the proposal will examine both the

benefits and risks of the plan. The decision made

by the officials will most likely involve

(1) increased industrialization

(2) direct harvesting

(3) an increase in finite resources

(4) consideration of trade-offs
