Please

that
much

the
supporting
documentation
has
been
previously
described
in
Section
1.1.

Capital
Costs
Adding
passive
screens
to
an
existing
submerged
offshore
intake
requires
many
of
the
same
construction
steps
and
components
described
in
section
1.1
above,
excluding
those
related
to
the
main
trunk
of
the
manifold
pipe
and
connecting
wall.
Similar
construction
components
include:
modifying
the
submerged
inlet
to
connect
the
new
screens,
installing
T­
screens,
and
installing
the
airburst
backwash
air
supply
equipment
and
the
blowpipes.
Nearly
all
of
these
components
will
require
similar
equipment,
construction
steps
and
costs
as
described
in
Section
1.1
for
the
specific
components.
One
possible
difference
is
that
the
existing
submerged
piping
distance
may
not
match
one
of
the
four
lengths
for
which
costs
were
estimated.
This
is
a
somewhat
important
consideration
because
the
costs
of
the
blowpipes
are
dependent
on
length.
However,
this
difference
only
affects
this
component
of
cost.
The
cost
scenario
distance
chosen
is
the
one
that
closely
matches
or
exceeds
the
existing
offshore
distance.
Table

presents
the
combined
costs
of
the
installed
T­
screens,
airburst
air
supply
system,
and
air
supply
pipes.
The
costs
in
Table
1­

include
direct
and
indirect
costs,
as
described
in
Section
1.1.

Costs
O&
M
costs
are
assumed
to
be
nearly
the
same
as
for
relocating
the
intake
offshore
with
passive
screens.
EPA
assumes
there
are
some
offsetting
costs
associated
with
the
fact
that
the
existing
intake
should
already
have
periodic
inspection/
cleaning
by
divers.
The
portion
of
the
costs
representing
a
single
annual
inspect
has
therefore
been
deducted.

Construction
Downtime
Unlike
the
cost
for
relocating
the
intake
from
shore­
based
to
submerged
offshore,
the
only
construction
activities
that
would
require
shutting
down
the
intake
is
to
modify
the
inlet
and
install
the
T­
screens.
Installing
the
air
supply
system
and
the
major
portion
of
the
air
blowpipes
can
be
performed
while
the
intake
is
operating.
Downtimes
are
assumed
to
be
similar
to
those
for
adding
velocity
caps,
which
were
reported
to
range
from
two
to
seven
days.
An
additional
one
to
two
days
maybe
needed
to
connect
the
blowpipes
to
the
T­
screens.
The
total
estimated
intake
downtime
of
three
to
nine
days
can
easily
be
scheduled
to
coincide
with
the
routine
maintenance
period
for
power
plants
(
approximately
four
weeks).

Application
Separate
capital
costs
have
been
developed
for
freshwater,
freshwater
with
Zebra
mussels,
and
saltwater
environments.
In
selecting
the
materials
of
construction,
the
same
methodology
described
in
Section
1.1
is
used.
BECAUSE
the
retrofit
is
an
addition
to
an
existing
intake,
selecting
the
distance
offshore
involves
matching
the
existing
distance
to
the
nearest
or
next
highest
distance
costed.

Similarly,
the
O&
M
costs
are
applied
using
the
same
method
as
described
in
Section
1.1.
