A small city's sewage-treatment plant orders a 55-gallon drum of isopropyl alcohol to be used to prepare cleaning products. However, when the drum arrives, it contains methyl alcohol, which they cannot use. The manager says to reorder and get the correct alcohol. The workers wonder what to do with the unusable 55 gallons of methyl alcohol that arrived by mistake. Someone suggests just dumping it into the nearby stream. Another worker disagrees, noting that to legally dispose of the 55 gallons of methyl alcohol, they need to
A) dump the alcohol into their sewage treatment tanks, which then drain into the stream.
B) mix the alcohol with gasoline to make it safer, and then dump it into the stream.
C) get a discharge permit to allow them to dump it into the stream.
D) flush the alcohol into the stream using thousands of gallons of water to dilute it.
