This Excel workbook documents the analyses conducted by EPA's Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) to estimate costs associated with transporting solid coal combustion residue (CCR) waste to a landfill. ORCR developed an O&M cost associated with transport to an on-site landfill and a separate cost for transport to an off-site landfill.

EPA Office of Water used transportation costs developed by ORCR to estimate the costs associated with transporting solid CCR waste to an on-site or off-site landfill. ORCR's onsite landfill costs are based on outputs from the RACER Model. These outputs assume on-site landfills are a distance of one mile while off-site landfills are a distance of 25 miles one way.

Correspondence between ORCR and OW describing the cost factors used for onsite and offsite landfill transportation costing.

1 1 mile to on
‐ site landfill one

‐ site construction & debris landfill one way 3 200 miles to off
‐ site hazardous waste landfill one way Loading and hauling costs were developed with Rem edial Action Cost Engineering Requirements (RACER 2010) software version 10.4, released October 2010. Costs are inflated from 2010 dollars to June 2011 dollars using the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analy sis, GDP Implicit Price Deflator ($3.257/ton for one mile one distance to on

Chartwell unit costs are in 2006 dollars which were inflated to June 2011 dollars using the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analy sis, GDP Implicit Price Deflator (see attached list of landfill unit costs by state). Hazardous waste landfill unit cost was developed using RACER 2010. The 2010 unit cost is inflated to June 2011 dollars using the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analy sis, GDP Implicit Price Deflator ($157/ton).

‐ wide average unitized costs (dollars per ton) based on their recent electricity industry survey , for converting from CCR impoundment disposal to dry CCR disposal in landfills. And OW (ERG) would like for DPRA to share a couple specific unit costs that DPRA is updating for the 2012 CCR final rule RIA
‐‐ unit cost for offsite trucking of CCR, and unit cost for CCR disposal in landfills. I will be on vacation beginning Aug 29 and returning on Sept 26. So not to hold
‐ up progress on either front, I give IEc and DPRA permission to share the updated unit costs directly with OW (ERG), and cc me. And OW (ERG), please share the dry conversion unit costs when they become available (hopefully within 2 weeks) directly with IEc and DPRA and cc me.
