While constructing a plant on the edge of the Talladega National Forest, it is necessary to consider its natural wealth. Therefore, the construction must be carried out in accordance with such acts as Endangered Species Act. The goal is to prevent jeopardizing the continued existence of any listed species or destructing the designated critical habitat of such species (Laws). Other important acts aimed at preserving the forest’s natural beauty and pureness are Clean Air Act and Pollution Prevention Act (Laws). Because the Forest Service conducts timber sales as an authorized use in the Talladega National Forest, its lands are managed under a multiple use-sustained yield model pursuant to the Multiple Use-Sustained Yield Act of 1960 (Riddle, 2019). This law will have to be followed to get the national forest lease. As for establishing contact with the community, it is essential to assure them that all listed acts are considered, and there is no threat to the forest’s natural resources. It may be helpful to familiarize the community members with the construction plan.
The environmental condition of the land provided by the paint company is vital to assess because it contributes to the final cost of the land use. First, toxic materials may be detected that must be cleaned up. In this case, the paint company is responsible for bearing the costs of clean-up. Second, if the paint company, as the previous landowner, caused the pollution of local land and water by its activity, it may complicate the work of U.S. Parts because of the community’s negative attitude. Thus, before buying the land, it is necessary to define if environmental factors render it usable for business purposes. Moreover, the availability of such factors as electrical or broadband infrastructure should also be considered. The acquisitions manager should check the availability and the quality of all resources necessary for the company and talk to the paint company if something is in unsatisfactory condition.
