Figure 1: The ERBD project decision support system’s web-b<strong>as</strong>ed POM<br />

selection feature (v.ß)<br />

The POM selection feature is designed around the premise that local authority<br />

officials making final decisions regarding POMs will be primarily interested in (1)<br />

whether existing legal requirements will be met (hence the b<strong>as</strong>ic and supplemental<br />

me<strong>as</strong>ures categories); (2) what the cost-effective combination of me<strong>as</strong>ures is and<br />

how much this POM will cost (see x-marked me<strong>as</strong>ures for selections and note totals<br />

in the first view); and (3) how the marginal cost burden is distributed among the<br />

major sectors (8% agriculture and 92% domestic for the constrained cost-effective<br />

selection shown in the second view). Note the utility allows the user to identify the<br />

cost differential between the cost-effective POM (first view) and any constrained<br />

cost-effective POM (second view).<br />
