Valuing acid mine drainage remediation in West Virginia: benefit transfer with preference calibration

Williamson, James; Thurston, Hale; Heberling, Matthew - In: Environmental Economics and Policy Studies 8 (2007) 4, pp. 271-293

Several thousand kilometers of West Virginia streams are degraded by acid mine drainage, and the estimates for cleanup range in the billions of dollars (US$).
