Re:
MPP
Industry
Cost
Effectiveness
Analysis
for
Small
Processors
in
Subcategories
A
through
D,
and
K
ERG
estimated
the
cost
effectiveness
of
pollutant
removals
for
small
processors
in
subcategories
A
through
D
and
K
based
on
costs
received
from
Tetra
Tech
on
June
27
and
August
6,
2003,
and
loads
received
from
Tetra
Tech
on
July
3
and
August
7,
2003.
The
attached
tables
show
the
results
of
these
analyses.
All
results
are
presented
by
subcategory.

This
analysis
only
examines
impact
to
small
processors:
those
that
produce
less
than
50
million
pounds
of
meat
products
per
year
in
Subcategory
A
through
D,
and
those
that
produce
less
than
10
million
pounds
of
meat
products
per
year
in
Subcategory
K.
In
all
respects,
the
methodology
for
analyzing
small
processors
in
these
two
subcategories
is
identical
to
the
methodology
for
analyzing
large
processors
in
the
same
subcategories.
EPA
did,
however,
examine
the
cost
effectiveness
of
Option
1
for
small
processors;
this
option
was
not
analyzed
for
nonsmall
processors
in
these
two
subcategories.

To
interpret
these
tables,
an
option
is
considered
 
dominated 
if,
in
total,
facilities:
 
incur
costs
but
have
zero
removals,
 
incur
costs
that
are
higher
than
the
previous
option,
but
have
lower
removals,
or
 
incur
costs
that
are
higher
than
the
previous
option,
but
have
no
additional
removals.

In
subcategory
A
through
D:
C
incremental
cost
reasonableness
ranges
from
$
12
per
pound
(
Option
2.5)
to
$
283
per
pound
(
Option
4),
C
the
most
cost
effective
option
for
removing
conventional
pollutants
is
Option
1
($
67
per
pound),
C
the
most
cost
effective
option
for
removing
total
nutrients
is
Option
2.5
($
27
per
pound).

In
subcategory
K:
C
incremental
cost
reasonableness
ranges
from
$
200
per
pound
(
Option
2.5)
to
$
378
per
pound
(
Option
1),
C
the
most
cost
effective
option
for
removing
conventional
pollutants
is
Option
1
($
163
per
pound),
C
the
most
cost
effective
option
for
removing
total
nutrients
is
Option
4
($
218
per
pound).
