Abstract: Abstract. A number of lake restoration demonstraton projects have been launched by the Environmental Protection Agency as a result of Public Law 92‐500. To evaluate the cost‐effectiveness of these public investment projects requires the development of an assessment model. The proposed Benefit/Cost Cross‐Impact Probabilistic Approach (BCCIPA) is one attempt at assessing the interdependent socioeconomic and environmental impacts of the lake restoration project over time, both quantitatively and qualitatively, so that various changes brought about by the project can be investigated and evaluated in two comparative stages for three points in time—before, during and after project implementation.
