The economic principles that mustbe applied to determine potential benefits are reviewed and the report concludesthat although there is insufficient information available at present to fully quantifyall the potential benefits, the annual dollar costs for improved seismic monitoringare in the tens of millions and the potential annual dollar benefits are in the hundredsof millions.
