Abstract
A component pricing method was developed for allocating actual treatment costs in proportion to the marginal costs for industry's volume and each priced contaminant. The component pricing system can be applied to capital cost as well as operating and maintenance cost. Charges are usually in the form of surcharges based on the weight of selected contaminants in excesss of specified concentrations. A charge for volume and for the entire weight of each priced contaminant is recommended. Cost data and computer simulation models developed for preliminary design of water pollution control facilities can be used in estimating component marginal costs. A management model was derived from a design model. The operation of an existing treatment plant was simulated, and estimates of treatment were encouraging, but additional comparison of simulation results with operating plants is recommended.
