This discrepancy was due, in part, to the fact that the Environmental Protection Agency's analysis considered only the incremental cost of reducing nutrients in waters it considered "newly impaired" as a result of the new criteria-not the total cost of improving water quality in Florida. The incremental approach is appropriate for this type of assessment, but the Environmental Protection Agency's cost analysis would have been more accurate if it better described the differences between the new numeric criteria rule and the narrative rule it would replace, and how the differences affect the costs of implementing nutrient reductions over time, instead of at a fixed time point. Such an analysis would have more accurately described which pollutant sources, for example municipal wastewater treatment plants or agricultural operations, would bear the costs over time under the different rules and would have better illuminated the uncertainties in making such cost estimates. 606 $aWater quality management$zFlorida 606 $aWater quality$xStandards$zFlorida 615 0$aWater quality management 615 0$aWater quality$xStandards 676 $a628.11206759 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bWater Science and Technology Board. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974934403321 996 $aReview of the EPA's economic analysis of final water quality standards for nutrients for lakes and flowing waters in Florida$94357377 997 $aUNINA
