MEMORANDUM

TO: Andrew Bouchard and Brenda Shine, EPA

FROM: Graham Gibson, Jason Renzaglia, Mae Thomas, and Philip Crawford, ERG

DATE: January 20, 2012

SUBJECT: Development of Monitoring Cost Estimates for the Proposed Part 65 Uniform 

Standards for Control Devices – Subpart M

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This memorandum describes the methods and procedures used to estimate monitoring 

costs for the proposed Part 65 Uniform Standards for Control Devices (Subpart M). The total 

capital investment (TCI) and total annualized costs (TAC) were estimated for continuous 

emissions monitoring systems (CEMS), continuous parametric monitoring systems (CPMS), and 

periodic monitoring required in the proposed subpart. The proposed Subpart M includes 

monitoring requirements for 11 specific control devices, as well as requirements for other 

controls not specified in the regulation, and closed vent systems. Monitoring costs were 

estimated for closed vent systems and 10 of the 11 specific control devices, including small 

boilers and process heaters, incinerators (thermal and catalytic oxidizers), absorbers (wet 

scrubbers), regenerative and non-regenerative carbon adsorbers, condensers, biofilters, sorbent 

injection, and fabric filters. The fuel gas system provisions do not require monitoring; therefore, 

costs were not estimated for fuel gas systems. 

This memorandum is organized as follows:

2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

The proposed Subpart M regulation includes monitoring requirements for 11 specific 

control devices, as well as requirements for other controls not specified in the regulation and 

closed vent systems. The proposed Subpart M sections for these requirements are listed in Table 

1.

The monitoring requirements for subpart M are summarized in an Excel spreadsheet (see 

Appendix A) containing the control device type, the specific monitoring requirements, the 

corresponding rule reference, standardized monitoring equipment, special conditions (e.g., if 

intermittent, if scrubbing liquid is not a reactant, etc.), and any additional necessary notes. Fuel 

gas systems do not require monitoring and therefore, are not included in Appendix A. Other 

control devices are also not included in Appendix A because it is unknown what type of 

monitoring will be selected. 
3

Many of the requirements in the Uniform Standards are the same or are similar to 

previous rules and do not represent changes that will translate into a cost increase from existing 

rules applicable to the chemical industry. Although the Uniform Standards are intended to reduce 

the overall burden for facilities, some of the proposed changes could cause an increase in costs. 

The proposed monitoring requirements in Subpart M that may result in a change in impacts from 

the typical monitoring requirements in past rules include some provisions for adsorbers, 

biofilters, and bypasses. Appendix A identifies these specific adsorber, biofilter, and bypass

monitoring requirements in the cost note column as a “potential change in impact”. 

TCI and TAC for each type of monitoring are also included in Appendix A. The methods 

used to estimate TCI and TAC are described in Section 3.0 of this memorandum. 

3.0 ESTIMATING MONITORING COSTS

The proposed regulation contains CEMS requirements for each control device specified 

in Table 1, with the exception of closed vent systems. CPMS requirements are also provided as 

alternatives to the CEMS requirements for each control device. Requirements for each control 

device were analyzed to identify the type of monitoring equipment sources may use to 

demonstrate compliance. Cost estimates were developed based on the list of potential equipment 

types. Costs were also estimated for periodic monitoring and are discussed in detail in section 

3.1.2. Table 2 summarizes the different equipment types for which cost estimates were 

developed.

Cost algorithms were developed to estimate the TCI and TAC for the CEMS and CPMS 

requirements for each standardized monitoring equipment type. Section 3.1 describes the cost 

parameters contained in each algorithm. 

3.1 Cost Parameters for CPMS

Each CPMS cost algorithm includes common parameters for TCI and TAC. The 

calculation for TCI consists of planning, purchased equipment costs, freight and sales tax, and 

equipment installation. TAC consists of operation and maintenance, monitoring, record keeping, 

reporting, taxes, insurance, administration costs, and annualized capital costs (i.e., capital 

recovery). Each cost component and method of calculation are described below. Periodic 

monitoring costs are discussed in section 3.1.2. 

3.1.1 Capital Cost Parameters for CPMS

Planning Costs

Planning costs were estimated using standardized labor rates and hourly requirements. 

Labor rates were based on U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics labor rates 

(DOL, 2009). A fringe benefit loading rate of 1.5 and an overhead and profit rate of 1.4 were 

multiplied by each hourly rate to obtain loaded rates. Calculated hourly labor rates are presented 

in Table 3.

Purchased Equipment Costs

Purchased equipment costs were estimated by the following methods and sources:

 For flow meters for gas and liquid phase, pressure and differential pressure indicators, 

and temperature indicators, ERG used instrumentation cost data presented in “Plant 

Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers” (Peters, Timmerhaus, and West, 

2003).

 For a flow indicator for gas phase, ERG assumed the cost to be one half of the 

purchased equipment cost of the gas phase flow meter. 

 For a fabric filter bag leak detection system, ERG assumed the cost was equal to the 

cost of the differential pressure indicators. 

 For a pH indicator and relative humidity indicator, ERG used online pricing 

information. Refer to Tables B.9, B.10, and B.12 in Appendix B for specific 

references to cost source material. 

 For a caustic strength indicator, ERG assumed the cost was equal to the cost of the 

pH indicator. 

 For a portable flame ionization detector (FID), ERG used quotes provided by vendors 

(supplied by EPA). Refer to Table B.16 in Appendix B for specific cost source 

material. 

 For a car-seal lock, key and chain, ERG estimated the cost of a lock and chain on the 

bypass valve. Refer to Table B.20 in Appendix B for specific cost source material. 

 Table 5 summarizes the purchased equipment cost for each equipment type. 

Purchased equipment costs were normalized to year 2010 using the Chemical 
6

Engineering Plant Cost Index (June 2010) except for equipment types noted in Table 

5. Additional details, including references, are provided in the cost algorithms of 

Appendix B.

Freight, Sales Tax, and Installation

Freight, sales tax, and installation costs were estimated using standard percentages. 

Freight and sales tax were estimated at 8 percent of the purchased equipment cost (U.S. EPA, 

2000). Equipment installation was estimated at 47 percent of the purchased equipment cost, 

freight, and sales tax (Peters, Timmerhaus, and West, 2003). Appendix B provides the detailed 

calculations using the capital cost components in this section to calculate total capital costs for 

each standardized monitoring equipment type. 

3.1.2 Annualized Cost Parameters for CPMS

TAC estimates include operation and maintenance, monitoring, record keeping and 

reporting, taxes, insurance, administration, and annualized capital (i.e., capital recovery costs). 
7

Operation and Maintenance Costs

Operation and maintenance costs were estimated to be 10 percent (U.S. EPA, 2000) of 

the sum of the purchased equipment cost and installation costs. Taxes, insurance, and 

administration fees were estimated at 4 percent (U.S. EPA, 2000) of TCI. 

Monitoring, Record Keeping and Reporting

Continuous monitoring and associated record keeping and reporting costs were estimated 

using standard labor requirements typically applied to each standardized monitoring equipment 

type and the hourly rates shown in Table 3. The standard monitoring, record keeping, and 

reporting cost calculations are presented in Table 6.

2 - Refer to Table 3 for labor rate information

In addition to continuous monitoring, the proposed Subpart M contains provisions that 

require some periodic monitoring. The cost estimate for periodic monitoring requirements 

included specialized costs and assumptions as follows:

 For the annual internal inspection of the catalyst bed for catalytic oxidizers, ERG 

assumed a three day shutdown period. ERG also assumed that additional operator and 

engineering support would be required. ERG reasoned that sampling and analysis of 

the catalyst would occur during the annual internal inspection; therefore, no 

additional cost to shutdown the oxidizer for sample collection was estimated. Sources 

may be required to sample and analyze their catalyst on a more frequent basis; 

however, these costs were not included. Table 7 presents estimated costs for the 

annual internal inspection and Table 8 presents an estimated cost of catalyst analysis. 
8

 The monitoring, record keeping, and reporting costs for adsorber regeneration 

frequency and duration, and to ensure proper operation, including valve sequencing 

and cycle time, were each assumed to be equal to the standard monitoring, record 

keeping, and reporting costs (presented in Table 6). 

 The monitoring, record keeping, and reporting costs for measuring the concentration 

of regulated material at the adsorber bed outlet was estimated for monthly, daily, and 

weekly frequencies. Refer to Table 9 through Table 11 for the specific cost 

calculations. 

 The monitoring, record keeping, and reporting cost for car-seal inspection was 

estimated using 10 minutes per month of operator time. Refer to Table 12 for the 

specific cost calculations.

Capital Recovery

Annualized capital costs were estimated using formulas provided in EPA’s Air Pollution 

Control Cost Manual (U.S. EPA, 2002). A capital recovery factor (CRF) was determined based 

on an assumed equipment life of 10 years and an interest rate of 7 percent. EPA’s Air Pollution 

Control Cost manual assumes an equipment life of 10 years and an interest rate of 7 percent for 

CEMS; therefore, the same equipment life and interest rate were assumed for all standardized 
11

monitoring equipment types. The annualized capital cost was determined by multiplying the 

CRF by the TCI. Equation 1 presents the calculation ERG used to determine the CRF. 

Equation 1

Where:

CRF = Capital Recovery Factor

i = Interest Rate

n = Equipment Life 

Table 13 provides a summary of the TCI and TAC for each standardized monitoring 

equipment type. Refer to Appendix A for application of monitoring equipment and costs to 

control equipment. Refer to Appendix B for detailed monitoring cost algorithms. Note that some 

of the cost items listed for each control device in Appendix A are alternative monitoring. 

Therefore, the costs should not be totaled for a given control device.

3.2 Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS)

TCI and TAC were estimated for organic CEMS using methods from EPA’s Air 

Pollution Control Cost Manual (EPA, 2003). 

The TCI estimate includes the CEMS sampling system cost, monitor cost, data 

acquisition system cost, auxiliary equipment costs, and direct and indirect installation costs. The 

estimate also includes planning, equipment selection, purchase, installation, support facilities, 

performance testing, and quality assurance evaluations. The EPA Air Pollution Control Cost 

Manual method requires an estimate of hourly labor rates for personnel involved in the 

installation, and default costs are provided. For the most current estimation, default labor values 

were replaced with the labor rates presented in Table 3. Purchased equipment costs were also 

updated using the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (June 2010). 

The TAC estimate includes the purchase of calibration gas, water, and electrical power or 

other consumables required by the CEMS. Operating and supervisory labor cost, maintenance 

costs, equipment replacement cost, property taxes, insurance, administrative charges, and 

overhead are also included. Annualized capital costs (i.e., capital recovery) were also included 

(refer to Equation 1 for further details regarding annualized capital costs). Monitoring, record 

keeping, and reporting were calculated separately (refer to Table 6) and are included in the TAC 

estimate. Appendix B contains further detail regarding the estimate of the TCI and TAC for 

CEMS.
