5. Wardco mining would like to expand operations in a west Texas region affecting a single small town. Expansion would put toxic chemicals into the groundwater that, if untreated, would make the water undrinkable. This is the only effect and, even then, the chemicals breakdown in about a decade. a. If it cost Wardco $40 million to extract the minerals but would cost $10million to treat the water and the value of mined products to customers is $60million, should Wardco be required to pay the cost of treating the water? b. If it cost Wardco $40 million to extract the minerals but would cost $10million to treat the water and the value of mined products to customers is $48million, should Wardco be required to pay the cost of treating the water? Would Wardco do so? c. Suppose it cost Wardco $40 million to extract the minerals and the value of mined products to customers is $48million. It would cost $10million to treat the water but only $5million to buy all the affected residents’ property. Should Wardco be required to treat the water in this case?
