There are people who argue against the proposed hazardous waste site based on implausible scenarios where the site fails. These people overlook the significant risks associated with delaying moving the waste from its currently unsafe location. If the waste is not moved until a safe site is found, the waste will remain in its current location for years. This is because it's impossible to guarantee that any proposed sight will meet the criteria for being labeled “safe.” Keeping the waste at the current unsafe location for that long presents unacceptable risks.

The waste should be moved to a new site to reduce risks

The stimulus does address past decisions. It is purely concerned with what future actions should be taken.

This is antisupported. The stimulus argues against waiting for the most secure location because leaving the waste in the current location presents far too many risks.

The stimulus acknowledges that moving the waste is risky, but that it would outweigh the risk of leaving it in its current location. Thus, moving the waste to the proposed site would decrease the overall risk.

This is too broad to support. The stimulus is only concerned with this specific instance and there is no indication that this reasoning should be applicable to “whenever waste must be moved.”

This is too strong to support. The stimulus suggests that the proposed site would be safer, not any site whatsoever. What if the waste was dumped on a daycare?
