The Economic Impact of Controlling Nonpoint Pollution in Hardwood Forestland

W. L. Miller and H. W. Everett

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1975, vol. 57, issue 4, 576-583

Abstract: This research examines the economic impact of controlling sediment loss through changing forest management practices, harvest methods, and rates of harvest. A comparison is made between the income foregone to forestry firms and the regional loss of income as alternative measures of the cost of pollution control. Both measures indicate substantial losses result from controlling nonpoint pollution and suggest present projections of this cost underestimate true social losses.
