Estimating Economic Benefits of Cleaning Up Contaminated Sediments in Great Lakes Areas of Concern (WISU-T-02-001) by John R. Stoll, Richard C. Bishop, and J. Philip Keillor. 87 pages, 8 x 10 softcover, $5.00.

This new report describes a two-stage approach to estimating the value the public places on large-scale sediment remediation projects and comparing that value to the estimated costs of the projects. The authors describe their approach via a case study of the proposed cleanup of the PCB-contaminated Fox River in northeast Wisconsin. The report describes a survey conducted by the lead author in which Wisconsin citizens were asked what they would be willing to pay to achieve various levels of cleanup. This report promises to be a valuable guide to policymakers, resource managers, and economists faced with weighing the benefits and the estimated costs of cleaning up contaminated sediments in Great Lakes Areas of Concern and elsewhere.
