Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.63 Monitoring and Minimizing Human Impacts skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which plan best addresses the concern?

AMonitor only fish color and remove all sediment from the river mouth by dredging each week.

BDo no monitoring and assume beaches will rebuild themselves.

CMonitor only electricity production and add taller walls to hold more sediment forever.

DMonitor sediment load upstream and downstream and include sediment bypass or periodic sediment flushing that mimics natural transport, because it keeps sediment moving to downstream habitats.

Solution & Explanation:Sediment trapped by dams can starve downstream areas. Monitoring sediment upstream and downstream shows the change, and bypass/flushing helps maintain more natural sediment delivery to prevent erosion.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which choice best reduces climate impact now while still allowing monitoring," and why?,A. Cover the landfill with plastic sheets and stop monitoring. | B. Do nothing and monitor only how full the landfill looks. | C. Install only sensors and do no capture

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which site and monitoring plan is most reasonable based on the constraints?

AChoose either site and do no monitoring because landfills are 'sealed.'

BChoose the steep site and increase runoff speed with smooth pavement, then monitor only traffic.

CChoose the site farther from the river but require strong stormwater controls and monitor nearby runoff and groundwater wells for conductivity and nutrients, because distance reduces direct river risk and monitoring can catch leaks early.

DChoose the closer-to-river site because it is convenient and monitor only odor complaints.

Solution & Explanation:Being farther from the river reduces the chance pollution reaches it quickly. Stormwater controls reduce runoff risk on slopes, and well/runoff monitoring provides early detection of contamination.
