| Abstract |
The report evaluates the economic impacts of proposed regulations pertaining to the use and disposal of sewage sludge generated by publicly owned treatment works. The analysis also evaluates the impacts associated with three other regulatory options, each reflecting a different set of regulatory requirements and varying levels of stringency. Six conventional sludge use and disposal practices are addressed in the report. The report provides a profile of the wastewater treatment industry, an analysis of the costs associated with complying with the proposed regulation and the three other regulatory options, a case study analysis to assess the impacts of pretreatment as it pertains to the proposed regulation, a summary of the baseline health risks of sludge use and disposal, and an estimate of the benefits of the proposed regulation. |
