Introduction
Alumina Inc. is an USA-based $4 billion alumni maker. It operates in eight countries around the world with the USA accounting for seventy percents of its sales. Situated in the fringes of Lake Dira in the state of Erehwon, Alumina Inc. has business interests in automotive components and manufacture of packaging materials, bauxite mining, etc. Alumina Inc. falls under the jurisdiction of region six of the EPA.
Alumina Inc. was found guilty in violation of environmental discharge norms, during a routine EPA evaluation inspection five years ago. The PAH concentration in the test samples was above the prescribed limit. Alumnia quickly acted to the clean up order issued by EPA and the subsequent audit showed the the violation was corrected. EPA evaluations are necessary in order to protect public health and to eliminate water pollution.
Apparently, Alumna's image is about to be damaged again by the allegations posted in the Erhwon Reporter newspaper. A 38 year old mother, Kelly Bates, has accused Alumnia Inc. of repeatedly contaminating the waters of Lake Dira and linked that to her 10 years old daugher's Leuemia caused by consuming the water of the Lake.
In this paper, as a business manager at Alumnia Inc., I'll try to find the key facts, regulations, and legal issues to managing the crisis with the minimal losses and preserve Alumnia's public image.
