I. Background

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under sections 111 and 129 of the

Clean Air Act (CAA), is required to regul ate emissions of nine pollutants from

hospital/medical/infectious wast e incinerators (HMIWI): hydr ogen chloride (HCl), carbon

monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), particulate matter (PM), dioxins/furans

(CDD/CDF), nitrogen oxides (NO X 

# ), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 

# ). The regulation for the HMIWI

category was promulgated on September 15, 1997 a nd subsequently remanded by the U.S. Court

of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on March 2, 1999. To respond to concerns raised by the Court

regarding the methodology originally used to de velop the 1997 regulation, EPA is re-developing

the HMIWI regulation. In addition to devel oping compliance options to support that redevelopment, EPA is also exploring alternatives to compliance. The purpose of this memorandum

is to show how the baseline operating costs for currently operating HMIWI compare to the

primary alternative to complian ce with the re-developed regulation, which is autoclaving and

landfilling the waste. Note: The cost esti mates presented in this memorandum are minor

corrections of the estimates presented in a pr evious memorandum, prepared for the December

2008 HMIWI re-proposal. 1



# II. Model Costs

This section presents the costs estimated for a series of model HMIWI for (1) the

combustors currently being used to incinerate hospital/medical/infectious waste; (2) the emission

controls currently being used to comply w ith the 1997 HMIWI regulatio n; (3) the monitoring,

testing, recordkeeping, and reporting activities cu rrently being used to demonstrate compliance

with the 1997 regulation; and (4 ) the primary alternative to compliance with the re-developed

regulation (i.e., autoclaving/la ndfilling). The model HMIWI in clude large, medium, small nonrural, and small rural units. Table 1 shows the ba sis for the development of the parameters for the

model HMIWI (e.g., incinerator char ge rate, stack gas flow rate, incinerator operating hours, and

concentrations) were developed. Table 2 presents a summary of the model costs for combustors,

emission controls, and the auto clave/landfill alternative.

# A. Combustors

Combustor costs are presented for each model size in Table 3 and were estimated based on

algorithms provided in the Model Plant Description and Control Cost Report for HMIWI

. 2 

# The

combustor capital costs from these algorithms we re updated to 2007 dollars using the Chemical

Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) and range from approximately $102,000 to $955,000.

The combustor annual costs were estimated in un its of dollars per year ($/yr) and $/flow.

The $/flow costs were calculate d by dividing the $/yr control co st estimate for each model HMIWI

by the gas flow rate for that model. The $/flow costs were used to calcula te unit-specific control

costs for each HMIWI, as discussed in section III of this memorandum. The combustor annual

costs were updated to 2007 dollars using current estimates for unit costs and labor rates and range

from approximately $54,800/yr to $366,000/yr. Update d unit costs for electricity, natural gas, and

dust disposal were obtained from online sources. 3-5 

# A unit cost for water was obtained from the

latest version of EPA’s Air Compliance Advisor. 6 

# Current operating labor rates were estimated

based on occupational employment statistics available online from the U.S. Bureau of Labor

Statistics for several i ndustries that use HMIWI, specifical ly the May 2007 mean hourly wage

estimates for Stationary Engineers and Boiler Oper ators in the following s ectors: General Medical

and Surgical Hospitals; Waste Treatment a nd Disposal; Pharmaceutical and Medicine

Manufacturing; and Colleges, Univ ersities, and Professional Schools. 7 

# To determine an average

operating labor rate for all HMIWI, a weighted average was taken of the aforementioned mean

hourly wage estimates using the fraction of HMIWI located in each of those sectors.

B. Emission Controls

Emission control technologies that are curre ntly being used to comply with the 1997

HMIWI regulation include packed-bed scrubbers, ve nturi scrubbers, fabric filters, dry scrubbers,

electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), carbon adsorbers, activated carbon injection (AC I), and selective

noncatalytic reduction (SNCR). This section pres ents the model costs that were estimated for

these control measures.

As with the combustor costs, the emission cont rol annual costs were es timated in units of

$/yr and $/flow, with the $/flow costs used to calculate unit-specific control costs for each

HMIWI, as discussed in section III.

1. Packed-bed scrubbers . Packed-bed scrubbers are used to reduce emissions of acid

gases such as HCl from both medium and large HMIWI and also provide limited control of PM,

metals, and SO 2 

# (if present at high enough concentrations). Model packed-bed scrubber costs are

presented for the two model sizes in Table 4 and were estimated based on algorithms in the Model

Plant Description and Control Cost Report for HMIWI and a memo update. 2,8 

# The packed-bed

scrubber capital costs from these algorithms were updated to 2007 dollars using the CEPCI and

range from approximately $328,000 to $453,000 for the medium and large models.

The packed-bed scrubber annual costs were updated to 2007 dollars using current

estimates for unit costs and labor rates and range from approximately $65,700/yr to $104,000/yr

(yr) for the medium and large models. The update d unit costs for electric ity and caustic were

2

# obtained from online sources. 3,9 

# Unit costs for water and sewage disposal were obtained from the

latest version of EPA’s Air Compliance Advisor. 6 

# Current operating labor rates were estimated

based on the aforementioned occupational employmen t statistics available online from the U.S.

Bureau of Labor Statistics. 7



# 2. Venturi scrubbers . Venturi and other types of wet scrubbers (e.g., rotary atomizers)

are used to reduce emissions of PM (and associat ed particulate metals) from large, medium, and

small HMIWI and also provide some control of acid gases such as HCl and SO 2 

# (if present at high

enough concentrations). For large HMIWI, these wet scrubbers are in stalled either alone (after the

HMIWI) or after a dry scrubber/fabric filter, and the large model co sts in this cost analysis are

presented both ways. For the other model sizes, the wet scrubbers are installed alone. For the

purposes of this cost analysis, venturi scrubbers were used to stand in for the other types of

particulate wet scrubbers. Mode l venturi scrubber costs are presented for large, medium, and

small HMIWI in Table 5 and were estimated based on algorithms in the Model Plant Description

and Control Cost Report for HMIWI and a memo update. 2,8 

# The venturi scrubber capital costs

from these algorithms were updated to 2007 dollars using the CEPCI and range from

approximately $344,000 to $625,000 for the three models.

The venturi scrubber annual costs were updated to 2007 dollars using current estimates for

unit costs and labor rates and range from appr oximately $78,400/yr to $192,000/yr for the three

models. The updated unit costs for electricity and caustic were obtained from online sources. 3,9



# Unit costs for water and sewage disposal were ob tained from the latest version of EPA’s Air

Compliance Advisor. 6 

# Current operating labor rates were estimated based on the aforementioned

occupational employment statistics available onlin e from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 7



# 3. Fabric filters . Fabric filters are used to improve the PM (and associated particulate

metals) emission control at two large HMIWI. M odel fabric filter costs are presented for that

model size in Table 6 and were estimated based on algorithms in the Model Plant Description and

Control Cost Report for HMIWI. 2 

# The fabric filter capital costs from these algorithms were

updated to 2007 dollars using the CEPCI and total approximately $1.02 million for the large

model.

The fabric filter annual costs were updated to 2007 dollars using current estimates for unit

costs and labor rates and total approximately $268,000/ yr for the large model. Updated unit costs

for electricity, compressed air, and dust di sposal were obtained from online sources. 3,4,10 

# A unit

cost for water was obtained from the latest version of EPA’s Air Compliance Advisor. 6 

# Current

operating labor rates were estimated based on the aforementioned occupational employment

statistics available online from th e U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 7



# 4. Dry scrubbers . Dry scrubbers are used in conc ert with fabric filters to reduce

emissions of PM, as well as emissions of acid gases such as HCl. The predominant type of dry

system used at HMIWI is a dry sorbent injection system followed by a fabric filter (DIFF). DIFF

have been installed on both medium and large HM IWI. Model costs are presented for these two

model sizes in Table 7 and were es timated based on algorithms in the Model Plant Description

and Control Cost Report for HMIWI and a memo update. 2,11 

# The DIFF capital costs from these

3

# algorithms were updated to 2007 dollars using the CEPCI and range from approximately $1.07

million to $1.36 million for the medium and large models.

The DIFF annual costs were updated to 2007 dolla rs using current estimates for unit costs

and labor rates and range from approximate ly $206,000/yr to $347,000/yr for the medium and

large models. Updated unit costs for electricit y, lime, compressed air, and dust disposal were

obtained from online sources. 3,4,10,12 

# A unit cost for water was obtai ned from the latest version of

EPA’s Air Compliance Advisor. 6 

# Current operating labor rates were estimated based on the

aforementioned occupational employment statistics available online from the U.S. Bureau of

Labor Statistics. 7



# 5. Electrostatic precipitators . ESP’s are used in concert with wet scrubbers to reduce

emissions of PM (and associated particulate meta ls) at two large HMIWI. A dry ESP has been

installed at one HMIWI, and a wet ESP at the ot her. Dry and wet ESP costs are presented for

large model HMIWI in Table 8 and were estimated based on algorithms in the OAQPS Control

Cost Manual

. 13 

# The ESP capital costs from these algorithms were updated to 2007 dollars using

the CEPCI and Vatavuk Air Pollution Control Co st Index (VAPCCI) and equal approximately

$1.07 million for the dry ESP and $607,000 for the wet ESP.

The ESP annual costs were updated to 2007 dolla rs using current estimates for unit costs

and labor rates and equal approximately $220,000/ yr for the dry ESP and $158,000/yr for the wet

ESP. Updated unit costs for electricity and dust disposal (for dry and wet ESPs) were obtained

from online sources. 3,4 

# Unit costs for water and sewage di sposal (for wet ESPs) were obtained

from the latest version of EPA’s Air Compliance Advisor. 6 

# Current operating labor rates were

estimated based on the aforementioned occupationa l employment statistics available online from

the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 7



# 6. Carbon adsorbers . A carbon bed adsorber is used for Hg control at one large

HMIWI (at East Carolina University). Carbon adsorber costs are presented for this specific

HMIWI in Table 9 and were adapted from algorithms in the OAQPS Control Cost Manual

. 14 

# For

the purposes of this cost analysis, only the a nnual operating costs were estimated, which total

approximately $6,800/yr for this specific HMIWI. (Because costs were estimated for a specific

HMIWI, no $/flow estimates were developed.) In estimating the annual cost of the carbon for the

carbon bed, the amount of carbon was assumed to be equi valent to that used in the ACI calculation

in the section below. It was also assumed that the carbon is not regenerated (unlike more typical

carbon adsorption units used to control organic em issions). Updated unit costs for virgin carbon

and for spent carbon disposal were obtained from online sources. 4,15-17 

# Current operating labor

rates were estimated based on the occupational em ployment statistics available online from the

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 7



# 7. Activated carbon injection system . Injecting activated ca rbon before the fabric

filter or other particulate control device is used to improve the removal efficiency of both Hg and

CDD/CDF at medium and large HMIWI. Activated carbon injection costs are presented for these

two model sizes in Table 11 and were estimated based on algorithms in the Model Plant

Description and Control Cost Report for HMIWI. 2 

# Capital costs for the ACI system were updated

4

# to 2007 dollars using the CEPCI and range fr om approximately $7,400 to $12,000 for the medium

and large models.

Annual costs for the ACI system were updated to 2007 dollars using current estimates for

unit costs and labor rates and range from appr oximately $12,500/yr to $56,300/yr for the medium

and large models. Updated unit costs for activat ed carbon and dust disposal were obtained from

online sources. 4,15-17 

# Current operating labor rates were estimated based on the occupational

employment statistics available online from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 7



# The factor of 0.00127 in the annual cost equation for dust disposal is based on an ACI rate

capable of producing a carbon concentration of 338 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter

(mg/dscm), which is expected to achieve reduc tions of 90 percent for Hg and 98 percent for

CDD/CDF relative to inlet levels. 2



# 8. Selective noncatalytic reduction . SNCR systems are used for NO X 

# emission

control at two large HMIWI. NO X 

# reductions of 45 percent or higher are estimated for HMIWI

using SNCR systems. 18 

# The costs for an SNCR system are presented for large model HMIWI in

Table 10 and were estimated based on algorithms in the OAQPS Control Cost Manual

. 19 

# The

SNCR capital costs from these algorithms were upda ted to 2007 dollars using the CEPCI and total

approximately $586,000 for the large model.

The SNCR annual costs were updated to 2007 dolla rs using current estimates for unit costs

and labor rates and total appr oximately $67,900/yr for the large model. The unit cost for a

50 percent urea solution ($0.85/gallon [gal]) was also taken from the OAQPS Control Cost

Manual

. 19 

# Two other unit costs for urea were found online, but one cost (up to $0.46/gal) was

based on delivery of dry urea (w ith the urea solution later mixed onsite), while the other cost

($0.60/gal) was over 5 years old. 20,21 

# To be conservative, th e higher unit cost from the OAQPS

Control Cost Manual was used. An updated unit cost for el ectricity was obtained from an online

source. 3 

# A unit cost for water was obtained from the latest version of EPA’s Air Compliance

Advisor. 6 

# The average heating value of 8,500 British thermal units per pound (Btu/lb) of medical

waste, used in the annual electricit y cost equation, was obtained from the Process Description

Report for HMIWI. 22



# The annual electricity cost for SNCR systems is also dependent on the NO X 

# concentration

at the inlet to the SNCR system, which was es timated to be 0.28 lb/million Btu (MM Btu), based

on the average of the NO X 

# concentration data for curren tly operating HMIWI. The NO X 

# concentration for each HMIWI was estimated (as shown in the following equation) using baseline

emissions estimates developed in a separate memorandum: 23



# NO X 

# concentration (lb/MM Btu) = NO X 

# baseline emissions (lb/yr) / [operating hours per year (hr/yr) x incinerator

charge rate (lb waste/hr) x heating value (8,500 Btu/lb waste)] x 10 6 

# Btu/MM Btu



# C. Monitoring

1. Inspections . Under the 1997 HMIWI regulati on, existing small rural HMIWI are

required to conduct annual equipment inspections to compensate for the lack of annual emissions

5

# testing at those sources. The inspections include the incinerato r, control device (if any), and

monitoring equipment.

Information on equipment inspections was gathered for the 1997 regulation. 24 

# Four

companies (one incinerator dealer, one maintenance contractor, and two incinerator

manufacturers) were contacted for information on the types of activities normally conducted

during an equipment inspection; the companies pr ovided inspection cost estimates ranging from

$350 to $800. 24 

# These costs were averaged and upda ted to 2007 dollars using the CEPCI to

develop the inspection cost for small rural HMIWI ($900). (See Table 12.)

2. Parameter monitors . Monitoring of operating parameters is used to indicate

whether air pollution control equipment and prac tices are functioning properly to minimize air

pollution. The 1997 HMIWI regulation includes parameter monitoring requirements for good

combustion, wet scrubbers, dry scrubbers with fabric filters, and wet/dry scrubber combinations.

Where applicable, the model costs associated wi th these parameter monitoring requirements are

presented in Table 13.

The monitoring costs presented in this me morandum include the costs to monitor the

parameters, plus any ancillary equipment costs (e.g., computer, data logger/computer interface,

logging and reporting software, and printer) and other costs. (Som e of the other costs include

planning, selecting the type of equipment, provi ding support facilities, installing and checking the

equipment, conducting performance specification te sts, preparing a quality assurance/quality

control [QA/QC plan], and recordkeeping and reporting.)

The 1997 regulation requires HMIWI to monitor the following parameters:

● All HMIWI: monitor charge rate and secondary chamber temperature, to demonstrate

good combustion practices

● HMIWI equipped with wet scrubbers: monito r flue gas temperature, pressure drop

across the wet scrubber (or th e horsepower or amperage to the wet scrubber), scrubber

liquor flow rate, a nd scrubber liquor pH

● HMIWI equipped with DIFF: monitor fabric filter inlet temperature, and HCl sorbent

(i.e., lime) flow rate

● HMIWI equipped with ACI: monitor Hg and CDD/CDF sorbent (i.e., activated carbon)

flow rate

Consequently, the monitoring costs develope d for the 1997 regulation included costs for

the following: 25



# ● All HMIWI: costs for weight scale and thermocouple wire

● HMIWI equipped with wet scrubbers: cost s for thermocouple wire, signal wire,

pressure transducer, liquid flow transducers, and controller element and transmitter for

pH meter

● HMIWI equipped with DIFF: costs for ther mocouple wire and labor to monitor and

record lime flow

● HMIWI equipped with ACI: labor costs to monitor and record activated carbon flow

6

# The parameter monitoring costs estimated for the 1997 regulation were updated to 2007

dollars using the CEPCI and latest labor rate s and rounded to the near est $100. Good combustion

capital and annual monitoring costs were estima ted to be $20,500 and $6,000/yr, respectively, for

the small rural model. Wet scrubber capital monitoring costs were estimated at $27,400 for the

small, medium, and large models; the annual mo nitoring costs were estimated to range from

$7,700/yr to $11,000/yr for the small, medium, and large models. DIFF capital monitoring costs

were estimated at $21,500 for the medium and large models; the annual monitoring costs were

estimated to range from $8,300/yr to $14,900/yr for the medium a nd large models. FF capital

monitoring costs were estimated the same as those for DIFF ($21,500), but the annual monitoring

costs ($10,100/yr for the large model) do not include the cost to monitor HCl sorbent flow rate.

Wet/dry scrubber combinations include a combina tion of the costs for wet scrubbers and DIFF.

DIFF/WS capital and annual monitoring cost s were estimated to be $27,500 and $16,000/yr,

respectively, for the large model. For the purposes of this cost analysis, the capital monitoring

costs for the large HMIWI equipped with D I-ESP/WS, WS/WESP, and HEPA/CA/WS were

assumed to be identical to the capital monito ring cost for DIFF/WS, but the annual monitoring

costs for WS/WESP and HEPA/CA/WS ($11,200/yr fo r the large model) would not include the

cost to monitor HCl sorbent flow rate. ACI annua l monitoring costs were estimated to range from

$1,600/yr to $4,800/yr for the medium and large models ; there are no capital costs associated with

ACI systems.

Two large HMIWI currently use SNCR systems and would be expected to monitor

ammonia or urea injection rate. Costs to purchas e and install an ammonia injection rate sensor

with data acquisition system and data reduction were estimated by EPA in August 2008. 26 

# These

SNCR monitoring costs were adapted to the cost format in Table 11 and rounded to the nearest

$100. The SNCR capital and annual monitoring costs for the large model were estimated to be

$10,200 and $3,100/yr, respectively.

D. Stack Testing

Under the 1997 HMIWI regulation, HMIW I are required to demonstrate ongoing

compliance as follows:

● Small rural HMIWI: Demonstrate ongoing compliance with the emission limit for

opacity by conducting annual opacity stack tests.

● All other HMIWI: Demonstrate ongoing complia nce with the emission limits for HCl,

CO, PM, and opacity by conducting annua l stack tests for those pollutants.

Annual stack test costs developed for each EPA test method for the 1997 regulation were

updated to 2007 dollars using the CEPCI, adjusted as necessary to conform to the range of more

recent, typical test costs, and rounded to the nearest $1,000 (except for the less expensive opacity

test, which was rounded to the nearest $100). 25,27,28 

# The updated and adjusted stack test costs are

presented in Table 14 for all model HMIWI. Annu al stack test costs we re estimated at $12,000 for

EPA Method 5 (PM); $2,500 for EPA Method 9 ( opacity); and $7,000 each for EPA Methods 10

(CO) and 26 (HCl).

7

# E. Recordkeeping and Reporting Costs

The 1997 HMIWI regulation imposes the followi ng recordkeeping and reporting burden on

HMIWI:

● Annual update of operating information—1 person-hour

● Review of operating information with each operator (assume 2 operators)—16 personhours

● Annual report of CMS operating parameters—32 person-hours

● Annual report of no exceed ances—8 person-hours per pollu tant (1 pollutant small

rural; 4 pollutants all other HMIWI)

● Annual report of performance test re sults—8 person-hours (small rural); 40 personhours (all other HMIWI)

● Records of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (weekly)—1.5 person-hours

● Records of persons completing review of operating information (assume 2 operators)—

2 person-hours

● Records of operating parameters (weekly) —0.5 person-hours (small rural); 1.5 personhours (all other HMIWI)

● Records of CMS operation and main tenance (daily)—0.025 person-hours

● Time to train personnel (EPA Methods 9 and 22)—40 person-hours

Some of these burden items apply to all HMIWI, while others apply to only certain

HMIWI (e.g., small rural units). The burden estimate for reporting CMS operating parameters (32

person-hours) was determined by dividing the co st to certify CMS ( $1,400/yr) by the composite

hourly labor rate ($43.60/hr). The cost to certify CMS was based on an estimate for the 1997

regulation. 25 

# That cost estimate was updated to 2007 dollars using the CEPCI. The composite

hourly labor rate was determined (as shown in the following bullets) based on occupational

employment statistics available online from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which were

adjusted upwards by 60 percent to include overhead and profit. 7



# ● Technical labor rate (natur al resources, construction, and maintenance) = (total

compensation of $23.47/hr) x (overhead and profit rate of 1.6) = $37.55/hr

● Management labor rate (management, profe ssional, and related) = (total compensation

of $49.23/hr) x (overhead and pr ofit rate of 1.6) = $78.76/hr

● Clerical labor rate (sales and office) = (total compensation of $13.19/hr) x (overhead

and profit rate of 1.6) = $21.10/hr

● Composite hourly labor rate = (technical la bor rate) + (0.05 x management labor rate)

+ (0.1 x clerical la bor rate) = $43.60/hr

The management and clerical burden for each HMIWI were estimated at 5 and 10 percent

of the technical burden, respectively. The r ecordkeeping and reporting costs for each HMIWI

were estimated by multiplying the technical, management, and clerical burden estimates by their

respective labor rates and summing the costs. The results are presented in Table 15.

8

# F. Autoclave/Landfill Alternative to Compliance

The primary alternative to the compliance options is onsite autoclaving, followed by

landfilling the waste. The costs for this altern ative are presented for each model HMIWI in Table

16 and were estimated using cost estimates pr ovided by an autoclave vendor and an online

source. 29,30



# Cost estimates from the vendor included capit al costs for the sterilizer and compactor;

operational costs for chamber liner s, labor, capital expense, mainte nance, steam, and electricity;

and hauling costs; the vendor also provided costs for a biological indicators test (including test

kit). 29 

# Inspection costs and permit fees were obtained from an online source. 30 

# Annual autoclave

costs were calculated in units of $/lb by dividing the daily cost (in $/d) provided by the vendor by

the daily charge rate (lb/d), also provided by the vendor. The other annual costs (biological

indicators test, inspection costs, and permit fees) were calculated in units of $/lb by dividing the

costs by the daily charge rate (l b/d) and annual operating days (d/yr) provided by the vendor.

These costs were then added to the annual autoclave cost.

The hauling costs from the vendor were revised to extract landfill costs. National average

landfill tip fees from the 2005 Tip Fee Survey prep ared by the National Solid Wastes Management

Association (NSWMA) were then used to estimate model landfill costs. 4 

# The total annual

autoclave/landfill costs in Table 16 are presented in $/lb of waste and in $/yr. Calculation of the

costs in $/yr assumes each model HMIWI operates at two-thirds of its cap acity. The $/yr costs

range from $9,100/yr to $205,000/yr.

III. Nationwide Costs

The size category of the combustor (large, medi um, small, small rural) and the types of

emission controls currently employed at each HMIWI were used to determine the baseline

operating costs. See Table 17 for the size categor y assigned to each HMIWI (consistent with the

HMIWI size definitions in the 1997 regulation) and the list of emissi on controls currently

employed at each HMIWI. The model costs asso ciated with combustor operation and emission

controls were assigned to the 57 HMIWI, base d on which size category (large, medium, small

non-rural, small rural) the HMIWI belonged. For example, large model costs for a combustor,

DIFF, and ACI systems were applied to a large HMIWI using a DIFF and ACI system to comply

with the 1997 regulation. Baseline combustor an d emission control costs were applied on a unitspecific basis by using model $/flow values, which were multiplied by unit-specific flow rates to

determine $/yr. Note: Indirect annual costs (e .g., capital recovery costs) for combustors and

emission controls were not includ ed in the assigned model costs; in a comparison of baseline

operating costs to autoclave/landfi ll costs, the indirect annual costs for combustors and emission

controls already in place would be incurred regardless of whether th at equipment is still used. In

addition to combustor and emission control costs, monitoring costs associated with DIFF and ACI

systems were also applied.

Table 17 shows the baseline combustor, emission control, and monitoring cost estimates

applied to each HMIWI and presents nationwide to tals. Baseline combustor costs were estimated

to be approximately $16 million/yr (including $1 5 million/yr for the large units; $1.2 million/yr

9

# for the medium units; $220,000/yr for the small un its; and $92,000/yr for the small rural units).

Baseline control costs were estimated to be approximately $11 million/yr (including $10

million/yr for the large units; $710,000/yr for the medium units; and $65,000/yr for the small

units). There are no control costs for the sm all rural units, which employ only good combustion.

The baseline control costs presented in Table 17 include ACI costs for two HMIWI that were

inadvertently omitted from the previous version of this memorandum. 1 

# Baseline monitoring costs

were estimated to be approximately $520,000/yr (including $420,000/yr for the large units;

$84,000/yr for the medium units; $11,000/yr for the small units; and $8,400/yr for the small rural

units). The baseline monitoring costs presented in Table 17 have been revised to remove one

HMIWI’s CO CEMS costs, which were inadvertently included in the prev ious version of this

memorandum. 1



# Baseline stack testing costs were also assigne d to individual HMIWI, based on their testing

requirements under the 1997 regulation. For example, costs for PM, CO, HCl, and opacity tests

were applied to all of the large, medium, and sm all HMIWI, which are required to test for those

pollutants on an annual basis. The total cost for multiple stack tests such as these was adjusted by

two-thirds to account for travel, accommodations, test methods/sam pling trains, etc. that are

common to the various stack tests. 28 

# (Opacity tests are the excepti on since that test method cannot

be combined with any others.) Because small ru ral HMIWI are only required to test for opacity

on an annual basis, only the costs for opacity tests were applied to those units. Table 17 presents

the baseline testing costs assigned to all 57 HMIWI (approximately $710,000/yr for the large

units; $340,000/yr for the medium units; $40,000/yr for the small units; and $5,000/yr for the

small rural units, for a nationw ide total of $1.1 million/yr).

Baseline recordkeeping and reporting costs were assigned based on which HMIWI would

be required to conduct those activities under th e 1997 regulation. For example, small rural

HMIWI were assigned lower costs for submitting annual reports and keeping records of operating

parameters compared to all other units because the requirements for small rural HMIWI under the

1997 regulation are less stringent (few er pollutants to test, fewer parameters to monitor). Table 17

presents the baseline recordkeep ing and reporting costs assigned to all 57 HMIWI (approximately

$550,000/yr for the large units; $260,000/yr for the medium units; $30,000/yr for the small units;

and $21,000/yr for the small rural units, for a nationwide total of $860,000/ yr). The baseline

recordkeeping and reporting costs presented in Tabl e 17 have been revised to correct a mistake in

the calculation of those costs for the two small rural HMIWI.

Including the costs of emission controls, mon itoring, testing, and r ecordkeeping/reporting,

the total nationwide costs at baseline were esti mated at approximately $30 million/yr (including

$27 million/yr for the large units; $2.6 million/yr for the medium units; $370,000/yr for the small

units; and $130,000/yr for th e small rural units).

Costs for the primary alternative to compliance (i.e., autoclaving and landfilling the waste)

were also assigned to each HMIWI, so that the cost s for this alternative c ould be compared to the

total baseline operating costs for each HMIWI. Regional average landfill tip fees from NSWMA’s

2005 Tip Fee Survey were used in estima ting the nationwide au toclave/landfill costs. 4 

# For

example, the regional average tip fee for the Mi d-Atlantic region was used in estimating the

autoclave/landfill costs for HMIWI in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. An

10

# autoclave/landfill cost (in $/yr) was calculated for each HMIWI by taking the applicable model

autoclave cost (in $/lb of waste) and regional average tip fee (in $/ton of waste), converting them

into compatible units, and multiplying them by th e annual operating hours and charge rate for the

HMIWI (assuming each HMIWI operates at two-thir ds of its capacity). See Table 18 for the

autoclave/landfill costs estimated for each HMIWI and nationwide.

As shown in Table 18, autoclave/landfill cost s are approximately $11 million/yr (including

$10 million/yr for large units; $540,000/yr for medium units; $40,000/yr for small units; and

$18,000/yr for small rural units). The nationwide autoclave/landfill costs are estimated to be 36

percent of the baseline operating costs for all HMIWI nationwide (37 percent for large, 21 percent

for medium, 11 percent for small, and 14 percent for small rural units). It should be noted,

however, that nearly 50 percent of HMIWI are known to practice wa ste heat recovery (see Table

18), which may offset some of these HMIWI operati ng costs. Table 19 presents a summary of the

nationwide baseline operating costs and autoclave/landfill costs.

Estimate that 57 HMIWI are operating, including 2 small rural units and 55 other units (large, medium, small non-rural).2. Industry costs are based on the following hourly rates: technical at $37.55, management at $78.76, and clerical at $21.10(see table below). The composite hourly labor rate is ($37.55/hr)+ (0.05 x $78.76/hr) + (0.1 x $21.10/hr) = $43.60/hr. Labor rates were increased by 60% to account for overhead.3. Inspection cost already accounted for under monitoring costs.4. Assume 20 hours to update the operating information each year.5. Assume 8 hours to review the operating information with each operator.Table 15.

Review of operating information assumes 2 operators per facility. Also assume there is no operator turnover at the affected facilities.7. Person-hours per occurrence for annual report of CMS operating parameters are based on the reporting and recordkeeping costs for CMS ($1,400) divided by the composite hourly rate($43.60/hr).8. Assume 8 person-hours per report per pollutant to report no excess emissions. For small rural HMIWI, testing and monitoring focus on stack opacity. For the remaining HMIWI, testingand monitoring focus primarily on three pollutants (PM, CO, and HCl) and stack opacity.9. Assume all respondents in compliance and report no exceedances.10. For small rural HMIWI, assume 8 hours to review report of annual stack opacity compliance test. For the remaining HMIWI,assume 40 hours to review report of annual PM, CO, HCl,and stack opacity compliance tests.11. These records are kept on a weekly basis.12. Assume 2 operators per facility and no operator turnover at the affected facilities, but no facilities will need to complete initial operator training requirements (only annual refresher training).13. For small rural HMIWI, assume 0.5 hours per week to record process and control device operating parameters and to record any exceedances of these parameters. For the remainingHMIWI, assume 1.5 hours per week to record operating parameters and parameter exceedances.14. Person-hours per occurrence for CMS operation and maintenance (O&M) are based on the O&M cost for CMS divided by the composite hourly labor rate and the operating days per year,determined for each existing HMIWI, and then averaged.15. Time to train personnel based on the time per year to train one person to perform the Method 9 and Method 22 tests. The labor requirements to train the personnel were estimated to be8 hours per day for 5 days per year.16. The average recurrent burden and cost in the first 3 years after promulgation for the sources with recurrent burden are equal to the person-hours added down each column for technical,management, and clerical and the sum of the cost column.Sources:1.

Annual autoclave costs include operational costs (chamber liners, labor, capital expense, maintenance, steam, electricity)and hauling costs.Hauling costs from vendor were revised to extract landfill costs, which will be applied to each HMIWI on a regional basis in estimating nationwide costs.National average landfill tip fees used to estimate model costs.2. The vendor's labor rate and operating time were used in costing the biological indicators test, inspections, and permit feein order to be consistentwith the approach used in the vendor's autoclave costs.Sources:1.
