A multiple objective programming model of the Boston sludge disposal problem was formulated in which the objectives of net economic benefits, environmental impact, and variability of impacts were included. A generating technique was used to solve for the noninferior solutions. To reduce information overloading on the part of decision‐makers and redundancy among solutions, cluster analysis was used to prune the noninferior set of solutions.
