cost/benefit study of the impacts of potential nutrient controls for ...

Cost-Benefit Study Objectives
• Determine statewide aggregate POTW costs resulting from
the potential implementation of a range of statewide
regulations to address nutrients (based on evaluation of
three tiers of potential effluent quality for Total Phosphorus
[TP] and Total Inorganic Nitrogen [TIN]);
• Determine statewide costs associated with implementation
of stormwater monitoring requirements;
• Determine the environmental benefits of implementation of
proposed nutrient regulations (for three effluent tiers); and
• Determine the benefit to drinking water quality and reduced
treatment costs.
