Rishel, H., T. Boston, AND C. Schmidt. COSTS OF REMEDIAL RESPONSE ACTIONS AT UNCONTROLLED HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/2-82/035.
Description:
The primary purpose of this study was to update conceptual design cost estimates for remedial action unit operations portrayed in earlier reports. Thirty-five remedial action unit operations conceptual designs, addressing uncontrolled landfill or impoundment disposal sites, were costed for Newark, New Jersey, as well as for U.S. lower and upper cost averages within the contiguous 48 states. Such estimates were in terms of mid-1980 dollars. Total component capital costs and operating costs were estimated for each unit operation. Total and average life cycle costs were computed. One example was presented to show how to estimate the costs of complete remedial response scenarios. This report was submitted in fulfillment of Contract No. 68-01-4885 by SCS Engineers, under the sponsorship of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This report covers the period from April 11, 1980, to February 18, 1981, and work completed as of April 13, 1981.
