 * Solution1**: To stop the negative impact of hydrocarbons and oil waste, there are a few important things to consider. One is to keep the town relatively small and keep the industries minimum size. This would mean that the Planning Board of the town would have to control the number and growth of industries and housing. Through doing so, we might be able to decrease the amount of hydrocarbons and poisons released. The town would need to enforce standards for the amount of hydrocarbon waste released by different types of businesses. These businesses would need to be monitored for their compliance with those standards. The town would need to make sure that any business there would be following those rules. The town allows the business to operate and, in return, the business has to be careful not to destroy the environment. That way, Basgo can stay the nature filled town it was to begin with.


 * Solution2:** The new road connecting to Route 95, will increase the amount of runoff into the Wild River. Although the ideal tourist road is along the river, the further inland the road, the fewer hydrocarbons and poisons seep into the river. This will slow down the pollution process, and if any woodland is remaining, the road can run through the scenic woods.

The town will also need a dam put in so a hydroelectric plant. The farther upriver this dam is built, the more river will be available to tourists, and water sport activities. Tides will also be able to travel farther up river, as well as sea life that would otherwise be stuck at the mouth. If you look at the map, the river gets narrower as if flows inland. The wider the dam has to be, the more it will cost. It will also be easier to build a alternate route for water if the dam is built on a bend in the river. This bend happens to be far up river, where the idustrial park will be located, close to the center of town.

A bridge needs to be built going across the river as well, and should be placed just below, or on top of the dam. Once again, more river will be available for tourists, and if built on top of the dam, less construction will be required. This can save gas, and some noise pollution from construction vehicles.

With more cars in the town of Basgo, there will need to be more gas stations. To make the town a little more environmentally friendly, these gas stations could have gas recycling stations. Did you know that just two gallons of recycled gas can provide an average house hold with twenty four hours of electricity? It would also be a good idea if the town encouraged electric cars to reduce the overall hydrocarbon spillage.
