TLDR
The history of the Milwaukee water pollution abatement program is examined as a case study to investigate the costs of conflicting environmental policy as mentioned in this paper, which will help preclude the type of environmental policy conflict which has been found to be so costly to Milwaukee.Abstract:
The history of the Milwaukee water pollution abatement program is examined as a case study to investigate the costs of conflicting environmental policy. The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision concerning the Milwaukee case is described as a milestone in U.S. water pollution abatement policy which will help preclude the type of environmental policy conflict which has been found to be so costly to Milwaukee. The implications to U.S. water pollution abatement policy of the 13-year history of conflict in Milwaukee are presented.read more
