Abstract The Economic Impact Analysis Assessment of the Hardboard/Insulation board industry is a support document for the effluent limitations (Best Available Technology, Pretreatment Standard for Existing Source, Pretreatment Standards for New Source, New Source Performance Standards) promulgated pursuant to Sections 301, 304 and 306 of the Clean Water Act, on January 7, 1981. The report includes an industry characterization (processes, market structure and financial information), industry costs from compliance from the effluent limitations and an economic impact analysis for existing and new sources resulting from the effluent limitation. Wet process hardboard is made from inter-felted wood fiber, using a wet forming and either a wet or dry pressing process. Hardboard products include interior paneling, exterior siding and industrial use products. There are 16 wet process plant operated by 11 producers. In 1976, the median, after-tax profit for a 200-million-square foot wet process hardboard plant was about 7%; the industry range was from 1% to 13%.
