Comment: Discusses the relationship between economic standards and the technology-based standards set forth by the CWA; reviews the evidence that EPA's earlier proposal would, in fact, meet all relevant economic tests, such as a cost-benefit test as well as the economic achievability standard; and responds to the specific points raised in the May 2002 memorandum from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) explaining the agency's rejection of EPA's earlier proposal.

Comment: Links to publications concerning economic analysis. GDAE's program in Economics for Health and the Environment addresses the need expressed by advocates for responses to cost-benefit analysis and anti-environmental economic arguments. Our projects are designed to help build the capabilities of environmental organizations to respond to anti-environmental arguments couched in economic terms. Our work demonstrates the weakness of the new anti-environmental economics, in theory and in practice, and contributes to the growing body of affirmative economics supporting precautionary approaches to public policy.

Organization: Applied Ecological Services, Inc.
Comment: Presents evidence that many existing streams did not have conspicuous channels and were not identified during presettlement times. Data presented shows that significant increases in discharge for low, medium, and high flows have occurred since settlement. Suggests that land-use changes in the previous upland/prairie watershed have resulted in a change form a diffuse and slow overland flow to increased runoff, concentrated flows, and significantly reduced lag time.

Type: Report
Organization: U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
Comment: Describes a spatial model of recharge potential that was developed to facilitate the interpretation of data that will be collected during ground-water surveys of the UIRB, and the effects of land use on the recharge potential of surficial and shallow bedrock aquifers in the UIRB as identified by this model. Involved identifying factors that may affect recharge potential, spatially overlaying hte identified factors to create a model that represents recharge potential, deriving histograms and cumulative distribution functions to qualitatively categorize recharge potential, comparing recharge potential with and without considering land use to identify effects of land use on recharge potential, and comparing recharge potential using 1970 and estimated 1990 land use to identify changes in recharge potential over time.

Comment: What does it cost to improve the quality of life in Des Moines? One popular amenity, multiuse trails, carries a price tag of about $500,000 per mile to build and several thousands of dollars each year to maintain. But many trail supporters, who include some local business people, say the cost is worth it for the new life they can potentially bring into the city.

Comment: It is well known that development increases stormwater runoff. The addition of concrete, asphalt, and other impervious cover decreases the amount of rainfall that will infiltrate the soil and increases the volume of runoff.
