Abstract:
Economists in North Carolina have noted the lack of economic analyses in the Neuse River Basin. Valuation to assess economic costs and benefits of various proposed management options has largely been neglected, and may undermine the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program. Neuse stakeholders representing a range of interest groups will provide a surrogate for direct economic analyses.

Abstract:
The Neuse River was classified by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission as Nutrient Sensitive Waters in 1988 due to excessive algal production and fish kills in the Neuse River Estuary. This resulted in mandatory controls on nutrient point source discharges and financial incentive programs to reduce nonpoint sources of nutrients from agriculture. This article discusses the lessons learned about watershed management that can be valuable as water quality issues continue to be addressed across the state.
