Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 1999.

Nitrate contamination of municipal and domestic well water supplies is becoming an increasing problem in many rural and urban areas, raising the cost of providing safe drinking water. This thesis shows how an ambient permit system may be used to control nitrate pollution of domestic groundwater supplies for communities in rural areas while maintaining agricultural production in the watershed. A key component to designing this efficient environmental policy was to incorporate the dynamics of the nitrate contamination process. The empirical focus of this research is Olmsted County, located in Southeastern Minnesota. Agricultural use of the land is intensive and nitrate contamination of groundwater is a concern in this region of the state.

520 $a Nitrate contamination of municipal and domestic well water supplies is becoming an increasing problem in many rural and urban areas, raising the cost of providing safe drinking water. This thesis shows how an ambient permit system may be used to control nitrate pollution of domestic groundwater supplies for communities in rural areas while maintaining agricultural production in the watershed. A key component to designing this efficient environmental policy was to incorporate the dynamics of the nitrate contamination process. The empirical focus of this research is Olmsted County, located in Southeastern Minnesota. Agricultural use of the land is intensive and nitrate contamination of groundwater is a concern in this region of the state.
520 $a Traditionally, nitrate groundwater pollution has been analyzed as a nonpoint source problem. The model proposed in this paper links a production model with soil and groundwater models to estimate each farm's contribution to nitrate contamination levels at groundwater wells. This means each farm can be held accountable for their specific portion of contamination, thus converting nitrate contamination of groundwater from a nonpoint source problem to a point source problem where ambient permits are traded based on final well contamination levels.
520 $a The two forms of environmental regulation examined are direct regulation, referred to as command-and-control (CAC), and permit trading. Direct regulation is simply a uniform abatement agricultural practice that meets the nitrate standard at wells imposed on all farms by a regulatory authority. Permit trading, on the other hand, relaxes the homogeneity constraint and allows farms in the community to trade permits to achieve a similar standard.
520 $a A small market of seven farms and one well in Olmsted County was employed to illustrate the effects of regulation on nitrate levels at the well. The costs imposed by the alternative forms of environmental regulation on the farming area depend upon the production scenario adopted by a farm, location of that farm with respect to the well, and the direction and rate of groundwater flow. The results of the trading scheme indicates the total cost savings of the ambient permit market compared to the CAC regime is $1 9,053.60.
