These stud- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ies show that substantial investments and costs would be necessary to <br /> <br />control runoff and pollution from livestock operations. While the 1000 <br /> <br />animal unit minimum excludes most livestock operations, many smal- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ler operations may now or in the future be faced with compliance. The <br /> <br />studies conclude that many smaller operations would be forced out of <br /> <br />business. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ECONOMICS OF CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION UNDER PL 92-500 <br /> <br />The need for intervention in production which contributes to pol- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />lution has been previously discussed in Chapter VI. To further examine <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />the economic aspects of implementing control technologies under PL 92- <br /> <br />500, examine the following situation.47 Each producer is faced with a <br /> <br />production function which relates his inputs, water (W) in this case, to <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />23 <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />,1, <br />
