Abstract: | This article examines coercive and cooperative approaches to implementing state urban erosion and sedimentation pollution
control programs. State administrators report serious shortfalls in their ability to control sources of pollution, but comparison
of more and less successful programs provides evidence of what states can do to make programs more effective. Key ingredients
for a successful state effort include the use of coercion with both the private sector and local government, adequate staffing,
application of severe sanctions when violations of state standards are detected, and provision of technical assistance. Many
state programs lack one or more of those elements, which explains their inability to adequately control urban erosion and
sedimentation pollution. |
