Information
Collection
Requirement
Cost
Analysis
Since
proposal,
EPA
has
made
several
corrections
and
revisions
to
its
burden
and
cost
estimates
for
implementing
the
information
collection
requirements
of
the
Section
316(
b)
Phase
II
rule,
based
on
comments
received
and
additional
analysis.
The
following
corrections
and
revisions
have
been
made
since
proposal:

°
EPA
corrected
the
hourly
rates
for
the
statistician
and
biological
technician
labor
categories,
which
were
inadvertently
transposed
at
proposal.
°
EPA
has
increased
the
burdens
associated
with
impingement
and
entrainment
monitoring
associated
with
the
Impingement
Monitoring
and
Entrainment
Characterization
Study.
°
EPA
has
revised
the
pilot
study
costs
to
assume
that
only
facilities
which
are
projected
to
install
new
technologies
will
perform
pilot
studies,
and
to
be
proportional
to
the
projected
capital
costs
for
installing
these
new
technologies
to
comply
with
the
rule.

The
following
sections
present
the
rationale
and
results
of
EPA's
estimation
of
burden
and
costs
for
implementing
the
information
collection
requirements
of
the
Section
316(
b)
Phase
II
rule.

A.
Respondent
Labor
Categories
This
section
describes
the
facility
burden
estimates
for
information
collection
activities
associated
with
the
NPDES
permit
application
as
well
as
information
collection
activities
that
will
occur
on
an
annual
basis
after
the
permit
is
issued.
These
information
collection
activities
can
be
separated
into
monitoring,
conducting
analyses,
developing
reports,
and
maintaining
records.
Information
collection
would
require
in­
scope
facilities
to
devote
time
(
i.
e.,
as
measured
by
staff
hours)
and
resources
(
e.
g.,
copies
of
documents
and
report
mailings)
to
produce
the
necessary
NPDES
permit
applications,
implementation
plans,
and
yearly
status
reports.

EPA
expects
that
facility
employees,
including
managers,
engineers,
engineering
technicians,
statisticians,
biologists,
biological
technicians,
draftsmen,
and
clerical
staff,
will
devote
time
toward
gathering,
preparing,
and
submitting
the
various
documents.
To
develop
representative
profiles
of
each
employee's
relative
contribution,
EPA
assumed
burden
estimates
that
reflect
the
staffing
and
expertise
typically
found
in
manufacturing
facilities
and
power
generating
plants.
In
doing
this,
EPA
considered
the
time
and
qualifications
necessary
to
complete
a
variety
of
tasks:
reviewing
instructions,
planning
responses,
researching
data
sources,
gathering
and
analyzing
data,
typing
or
writing
the
information
requested,
reviewing
results,
conferring
with
permitting
authorities
and
expert
consultants,
and
sending
documents.

EPA
anticipates
that
facilities
will
use
contracted
services
to
perform
many
of
their
required
sampling
and
analysis
tasks.
The
contracted
staff
are
likely
to
include
project
managers,
biologists,
statisticians,
and
biological
technicians.
The
work
done
by
these
contracted
2
employees
will
be
done
on­
site
on
a
regular
basis.
Therefore,
the
hourly
burdens
associated
with
their
work
are
included
in
the
overall
burden
estimates
for
each
facility.

For
each
activity
burden
assumption,
EPA
selected
time
estimates
to
reflect
the
expected
effort
necessary
to
carry
out
these
activities
under
normal
conditions
and
reasonable
labor
efficiency
rates.
EPA
assumed
that
the
majority
of
the
actual
work
performed
by
facility
staff,
such
as
researching,
collecting,
and
analyzing
data,
as
well
as
writing
the
documents,
will
be
carried
out
by
junior
technical
staff.
Burdens
associated
with
managerial
and
senior
engineering
staff
include
time
for
actions
such
as
occasional
or
seasonal
visits
to
supervise
sampling
efforts,
as
well
as
periodic
review
of
lab
results
and
documentation.
EPA
assumed
that
the
facilities
will
employ
a
drafter
to
perform
computer
aided
drafting
(
CAD)
operations.
For
contracted
employees,
EPA
assumed
that
the
majority
of
the
work
would
be
carried
out
by
the
biologists
and
the
biological
technicians.

Labor
burdens
are
often
described
in
terms
of
days
or
weeks.
For
the
purpose
of
the
NODA,
the
term
day
refers
to
eight
total
hours
worked
by
one
or
more
employees
within
a
given
labor
category.
Likewise,
a
week
refers
to
when
one
or
more
employees
work
a
total
40
hours.
The
labor
costs
to
the
respondent
facilities
can
be
estimated
by
multiplying
the
time
spent
in
each
labor
category
by
an
appropriately
loaded
hourly
wage
rate.
All
base
wage
rates
for
facility
labor
categories
were
derived
from
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
Occupational
Outlook
Handbook
2002­
2003.
These
reported
labor
rates
were
based
upon
data
from
the
year
2000,
and
required
adjustment
for
inflation.
An
inflation
factor
of
3.9%,
derived
from
the
BLS
Employment
Cost
Index
(
BLS,
2001),
was
used
to
adjust
the
Occupational
Outlook
Handbook
labor
rates
to
reflect
labor
rates
for
June
of
2001.

A
compensatory
loading
factor
of
35%
was
used
to
account
for
any
paid
leave,
supplemental
pay,
insurance,
retirement
and
savings,
and
required
and
nonrequired
benefits
received
by
employees
(
BLS,
2001b).
EPA
assumed
an
additional
loading
factor
of
15%
to
account
for
general
overhead
costs
directly
attributable
to
facility
employees
performing
work
in
support
of
the
permit
process.
Expenses
for
contracted
employees
typically
include
higher
overhead
costs,
as
well
as
fee
to
ensure
profit
for
the
contracting
company.
EPA
assumes
that
the
overhead
for
the
contracted
employees
will
be
50%
and
the
fee
will
be
8%.

To
represent
the
base
labor
rate
for
facility
management,
EPA
used
the
average
national
salary
for
an
engineering
manager
of
$
84,070
per
year.
This
figure
was
divided
by
2,080
hours
to
derive
the
hourly
managerial
wage
rate
of
approximately
$
40
per
hour.
After
adjusting
this
rate
for
inflation,
compensation
and
overhead,
the
rate
is
approximately
$
67
per
hour.
The
median
annual
salary
of
$
40,020
for
an
engineering
technician
was
used
to
represent
the
base
labor
rate
for
junior
technical
staff.
After
determining
the
hourly
wage
rate
and
adjusting
for
inflation
and
other
factors,
this
labor
rate
was
approximately
$
32
per
hour.
The
median
annual
salary
for
a
drafter
performing
CAD
work
was
reported
to
be
$
17
per
hour,
and
after
adjusting
and
loading
the
rate
it
is
approximately
$
28.
The
reported
average
annual
salary
for
clerical
workers
was
$
21,130,
and
the
fully
adjusted
and
loaded
hourly
rate
is
$
18
per
hour.
3
To
represent
the
base
labor
rate
for
a
contracted
manager
of
monitoring
work
done
onsite
EPA
used
the
average
national
salary
for
a
natural
sciences
manager
of
$
75,880
per
year,
with
a
fully
loaded
rate
of
$
85
per
hour.
The
median
annual
salary
for
a
statistician
was
$
51,990
per
year,
with
an
adjusted
hourly
rate
of
approximately
$
57
per
hour.
Biologists
and
biological
technicians
had
an
average
hourly
pay
of
$
24
and
$
15,
and
a
fully
loaded
rate
of
$
55
and
$
35,
respectively.

B.
Permit
Application
Reporting
Labor
Burden
and
Costs
Permit
application
activities
refer
to
the
development
and
submittal
of
the
required
elements
of
the
application
for
reissuance
of
the
NPDES
permit.
This
involves
gathering,
analyzing,
and
characterizing
information
and
then
submitting
this
information
to
the
Director
for
review.
For
the
purpose
of
the
NODA,
the
labor
burden
and
costs
for
these
permit
application
activities
are
grouped
into
either
reporting
or
monitoring
requirements.
These
permitting
requirements
also
have
corresponding
capital
and
O&
M
costs
associated
with
them.

As
part
of
the
permit
application
process,
Phase
II
existing
facilities
will
gather
source
water
physical
data,
cooling
water
intake
structure
data
and
cooling
water
system
data.
This
information
is
analyzed
and
summarized
in
reports
which
are
delivered
to
the
director
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
permit
requirements.
Information
gathered
by
the
facility
for
a
report
can
also
be
used
as
a
starting
point
for
other
required
studies,
or
to
help
the
facility
determine
how
it
will
comply
with
permit
requirements.
As
a
result,
many
of
the
studies
will
be
done
in
a
manner
so
that
information
from
one
can
be
used
as
a
basis
for
another.

Reporting
activities
typically
have
incidental
record
keeping
burdens
associated
with
them.
These
burden
estimates
typically
cover
the
time
spent
printing,
copying,
filing
paper
documents,
and
making
back­
up
copies
of
electronic
files.
EPA
expects
that
much
of
this
work
is
done
by
clerical
staff.
However,
EPA
assumes
that
approximately
3%
of
the
time
non­
clerical
employees
spend
performing
rule­
related
activities
can
be
attributed
to
record
keeping
as
well.

Rule­
related
reporting
activities
will
also
result
in
incidental
costs
to
facilities
for
specific
items
not
covered
by
general
overhead.
These
costs,
often
referred
to
as
Other
Direct
Costs
(
ODCs),
are
for
office
supplies,
occasional
field
work
supplies,
and
shipping
and
handling
fees.
EPA
assumes
for
the
proposed
rule
that
typical
ODCs
are
between
$
1
and
$
2
per
total
hours
spent
on
an
activity,
but
could
be
as
much
as
$
3
to
$
4
per
hour
worked
when
the
activity
requires
some
field
work.
ODCs
incurred
by
the
company
contracted
to
do
the
monitoring
work
are
not
considered
because
they
are
factored
into
the
rates
charged
for
the
contracted
work.

Because
record
keeping
and
ODC
costs
for
reporting
activities
are
relatively
small
in
comparison
to
other
facility
costs,
detailed
breakouts
showing
record
keeping
burdens
and
costs
for
each
activity
are
not
included
in
the
NODA,
but
can
be
found
in
Appendix
A
of
the
ICR
Supporting
Statement.

Start­
Up
Activities
All
facilities
will
incur
a
start­
up
burden
associated
with
reading
the
published
regulations,
sample
permits,
and
any
guidance
materials
associated
with
the
rule;
determining
the
required
staff
and
resources
necessary
to
successfully
complete
the
application
process,
and
meet
all
annual
monitoring
and
reporting
requirements;
and
training
staff
to
perform
tasks
that
they
would
not
be
required
to
conduct
if
the
rule
were
not
implemented.
These
start­
up
activities
are
assumed
to
be
performed
by
facility
management
and
junior
technical
staff.

Permit
Application
Activities
Phase
II
existing
facilities
are
required
to
gather
permit
application
information
as
specified
by
40
CFR
122.21(
r)
so
that
the
Director
can
evaluate
the
potential
impact
to
the
water
body
in
which
the
intake
structure
is
located.
The
information
collected
under
40
CFR
122.21(
r)
includes
source
water
physical
data,
cooling
water
intake
structure
data,
source
water
baseline
biological
characterization
data,
and
a
Phase
II
existing
facility
cooling
water
system
description.

a.)
Source
Water
Physical
Data
EPA
anticipates
that
much
of
the
data
required
to
characterize
the
water
body
and
the
cooling
water
intake
structure
has
already
been
gathered
by
the
facility,
and
that
much
of
the
actual
facility
burden
is
from
deriving
the
requested
information
from
this
data.
To
derive
the
source
water
physical
data,
EPA
assumes
that
junior
technical
staff
will
work
with
a
CAD
operator
to
develop
a
description
of
the
physical
configuration
of
the
source
water
body
where
the
CWIS
is
located,
including
areal
dimensions,
depths,
salinity
and
temperature
regimes.
The
CAD
operator
will
produce
scaled
drawings
showing
the
physical
configuration
of
the
source
water
body
and
prepare
locational
maps
of
the
water
body.
The
junior
technical
staff
will
use
this
information
and
available
data
to
produce
a
report
characterizing
and
documenting
the
hydrological
and
geomorphological
features
of
the
source
water
body.
Depending
on
the
extent
of
existing
information
it
may
be
necessary
for
some
facilities
to
conduct
physical
studies
to
determine
the
intake's
area
of
influence
within
the
water
body.
EPA
assumes
these
studies
are
likely
to
consist
of
releasing
dyes
in
the
vicinity
of
CWIS
and
observing
how
the
dye
behaves
5
when
the
CWIS
is
operating.
Such
studies
are
routinely
done
when
a
facility
is
determining
an
appropriate
site
for
a
CWIS.

Cooling
Water
Intake
Structure
Characterization
Cooling
water
intake
structure
data
will
be
used
to
develop
a
report
on
the
operation
of
the
intake
structure.
EPA
assumes
that
a
CAD
operator
will
spend
a
day
assisting
junior
technical
staff
in
preparing
a
narrative
description
of
the
configuration
of
the
CWIS
and
its
location
within
the
waterbody
and
in
the
water
column,
including
measurements
of
the
latitude
and
longitude
of
the
CWIS.
In
addition,
junior
technical
staff
will
spend
one
week
developing
a
narrative
that
describes
the
operation
of
the
CWIS,
including
design
flows,
daily
hours
of
operation,
number
of
days
of
the
year
in
operation,
and
seasonal
changes,
if
applicable.
Management
will
spend
two
days
reviewing
and
revising
this
characterization.
Junior
technical
staff
will
also
spend
one
week
developing
a
narrative
characterizing
the
facility's
cooling
water
system,
which
includes
a
flow
distribution
and
water
balance
diagram
for
the
facility
depicting
all
sources
of
water
to
the
facility,
recirculating
flows,
and
discharges.
Management
will
spend
two
days
reviewing
and
revising
this
characterization.

Biological
Characterization
Data
Facilities
will
also
collect
Source
Water
Baseline
Biological
Characterization
Data
to
evaluate
the
condition
of
the
biological
community
prior
to
each
permit
application.
The
level
of
effort
needed
to
collect
the
Source
Water
Baseline
Biological
Characterization
Data
may
vary
considerably
from
one
facility
to
another,
depending
on
the
availability
of
existing
background
information
and
the
characteristics
of
the
water
body
in
which
the
CWIS
will
be
located.
EPA
assumes
that
for
most
facilities
there
is
sufficient
existing
data
for
facilities
to
develop
a
baseline
characterization
of
the
contributing
water
body's
biological
community.
Junior
technical
staff
are
anticipated
to
spend
two
weeks
gathering
existing
data,
and
documenting
data
that
are
not
available
along
with
efforts
made
to
identify
sources
of
data.
The
facility
manager
spends
one
week
overseeing
this
work
and

the
results.
The
junior
technical

then
spends
an
additional

and
a

spends
half
a

spends
four
days
reviewing
and

in
the
Comprehensive
Demonstration
Study,
the
facility
must
develop
and
submit
a
proposal
for
the
collection
of
information
to

the
Study.
EPA
assumes
that
junior

to
determine
the
extent
to
which
existing

Source
Water
Sampling
Plan
Although
some
facilities
are
likely
to
have
sufficient
available
information
to
forego
an
extensive
monitoring
study,
EPA
assumes
that
all
facilities
performing
a
Comprehensive
Demonstration
Study
will
perform
an
Impingement
Mortality
and
Entrainment
Characterization
Study
involving
three
years
of
monitoring.
Therefore,
these
facilities
will
need
to
develop
and
submit
a
source
water
sampling
plan
that:
documents
all
methods
and
quality
assurance
procedures
for
sampling
and
data
analysis,
as
well
as
describes
the
study
area
(
including
the
area
of
influence
of
the
cooling
water
intake
structure
and
at
least
100
meters
beyond).
EPA
assumes
that
the
junior
technical
staff
will
spend
twenty
hours
reviewing
source
water
and
CWIS
data,
as
well
as
information
gathered
for
the
Source
Water
Baseline
Biological
Characterization.
They
will
then
spend
another
twenty
hours
using
this
information
to
write
a
draft
of
the
source
water
sampling
plan.
A
CAD
operator
will
spend
one
day
assisting
the
junior
technical
staff
in
this
effort.
The
facility
manager
will
spend
four
days
supervising
this
effort,
reviewing
the
draft,
and
consulting
with
the
manager
of
the
contracted
firm
that
will
perform
the
monitoring.
The
contracted
manager
will
spend
one
day
reviewing
the
draft
and
providing
feedback.
The
junior
technical
staff
will
then
take
twenty
hours
to
revise
the
sampling
plan
and
the
facility
manager
will
spend
one
day
reviewing
and
revising
the
final
sampling
plan.

Source
Water
Body
Flow
Information
As
part
of
the
Comprehensive
Demonstration
Study,
facilities
with
intakes
located
on
freshwater
rivers/
streams
must
submit
source
water
body
flow
information.
This
information
is
used
to
determine
the
impact
of
the
CWIS
on
the
natural
flow
of
the
source
water
and
is
an
important
factor
in
determining
the
appropriate
technologies.
Similarly,
facilities
with
intakes
on
freshwater
lakes
or
reservoirs
need
to
determine
the
extent
to
which
the
CWIS
disrupts
the
thermal
stratification
of
the
water
body.
EPA
anticipates
that
most
facilities
will
have
ready
access
to
existing
flow
and
thermal
stratification
information.
However,
EPA
assumes
that
some
facilities
will
need
to
take
flow
or
thermal
stratification
measurements
immediately
around
the
intake.
Junior
technical
staff
are
expected
to
take
four
days
to
gather
existing
information
and
take
measurements
for
freshwater
river
and
stream
flows,
and
one
week
for
lakes
and
reservoirs.
Junior
technical
staff
will
spend
an
additional
four
days
performing
engineering
calculations
and
developing
a
report.
Facility
management
will
spend
one
day
reviewing
and
revising
stream/
river
information,
and
take
one
and
a
half
days
for
lake/
reservoir
information.

Design
and
Construction
Technology
Plan
If
the
facility
chooses
to
use
design
and
construction
technologies
or
operational
measures
in
whole
or
in
part
to
meet
the
requirements
of
§
125.94,
the
facility
must
also
submit
a
Design
and
Construction
Technology
Plan
as
part
of
the
Comprehensive
Demonstration
Study.
EPA
assumes
that
a
CAD
operator
will
spend
one
day
delineating
the
hydraulic
zone
of
influence,
and
that
junior
technical
staff
will
spend
five
hours
assisting
them,
and
management
10
will
spend
two
hours
reviewing
work.
Junior
technical
staff
will
then
spend
one
and
a
half
days
performing
engineering
calculations
to
determine
anticipated
impingement
rates,
and
an
additional
two
days
developing
narrative
descriptions
of
the
design
and
operation
of
all
design
and
construction
technologies
or
operational
measures
(
existing
and
proposed),
used
to
meet
the
requirements
to
reduce
impingement
mortality.
Management
will
spend
a
day
reviewing
the
calculations
and
three
hours
reviewing
the
write­
up.
Those
facilities
that
also
must
address
entrainment
will
spend
approximately
the
same
amount
of
time
performing
engineering
calculations
and
developing
a
narrative
description.
Finally
junior
technical
staff
will
spend
one
week
documenting
that
these
chosen
technologies
reflects
BTA
at
the
facility's
site.

Verification
Monitoring
Plan
As
part
of
the
Comprehensive
Demonstration
Study,
facilities
must
include
a
plan
to
conduct,
at
a
minimum,
two
years
of
monitoring
to
verify
the
full­
scale
performance
of
the
proposed
or
implemented
technologies,
operational
measures,
or

measures.
EPA
assumes
that
the
junior
technical
staff
will
spend
a
week
and
a
half
writing
a
plan
that
describes
11
the
frequency

Information
to
Support
Site­
Specific
Determination
of
BTA
If
a
facility
requests
a
site­
specific
evaluation
of
BTA,
it
will
first
need
to
demonstrate
to
the
Director
that
it
meets
one
of
two
cost
criteria.
The
first
criteria
requires
the
facility
to
demonstrate
that
its
cost
of
compliance
with
the
applicable
performance
standards
specified
would
be
significantly
greater
than
those
considered
when
the
performance
standards
were
established.
The
second
criteria
requires
a
facility
to
demonstrate
that
its
costs
would
be
significantly
greater
than
benefits
of
complying
with
the
performance
standards
at
the
facility's
site.

a.)
Comprehensive
Cost
Evaluation
Study
EPA
assumes
that
for
a
facility
to
demonstrate
to
the
Director
that
its
actual
implementation
costs
will
be
higher
than
those
suggested
by
the
performance
standard,
the
facility
will
need
to
provide
the
Director
with
detailed
information
about
the
site,
along
with
engineering
calculations
and
cost
estimates
used
to
justify
this
conclusion.
Much
of
the
sitespecific
information
will
have
been
gathered
during
the
initial
permit
application
process
and
the
source
water
baseline
biological
characterization.
Likewise,
many
of
the
initial
engineering
calculations
will
have
been
performed
for
the
Design
and
Construction
Technology
Plan.
Therefore,
the
main
effort
for
the
Comprehensive
Cost
Evaluation
Study
will
be
for
the
facility
to
justify
the
cost
estimates
it
claims
that
it
will
incur
to
install
and
operate
the
BTA
prescribed
in
the
performance
standards.
EPA
assumes
that
the
junior
technical
staff
will
spend
a
week
developing
cost
estimates
and
developing
an
initial
draft
of
the
study.
The
facility
manager
will
spend
two
days
overseeing
the
work
done
by
the
junior
staff
and
revising
the
initial
draft.
The
junior
technical
staff
will
then
spend
approximately
half
a
week
making
the
revisions
and
12
finalizing
the
report.
The
management
will
then
spend
half
a
day
reviewing
the
final
draft
and
writing
the
executive
summary.

Data
Facilities
choosing
to
demonstrate
that
their
costs
would
be
significantly
greater
than
the
benefits
of
complying
with
the
otherwise
applicable
requirements
must
use
a
comprehensive
methodology
to
fully
value
the
impacts
of
impingement
mortality
and
entrainment
at
the
site
and
the
benefits
achievable
by
compliance
with
the
applicable
requirements.
To
compare
benefits
to
costs,
the
facility
must
have
cost
estimates.
EPA
assumes
that
the
facility
will
use
the
cost
information
from
Comprehensive
Cost
Evaluation
for
this
purpose.
To
begin
assessment
of
potential
benefits,
the
facility
will
need
estimates
of
impingement
and
entrainment
reductions
resulting
from
use
of
the
proposed
technology
at
the
facility.
EPA
assumes
that
the
facility
will
use
the
estimates
of
impingement
and
entrainment
reductions
from
the
Design
and
Construction
Technology
Plan
for
this
purpose.
The
facility
must
then
estimate
the
potential
recreational
and
commercial
value
of
these
organisms
over
the
same
period
of
time
that
it
would
be
paying
for
the
proposed
technology.
This
begins
with
a
detailed
evaluation
of
mortality
data.
EPA
assumes
that
the
junior
technical
staff
will
spend
a
week
reviewing
mortality
data
derived
from
the
Impingement
Mortality
and
Entrainment
Characterization
Study,
and
developing
a
list
of
species,
their
impacted
life
stages,
and
corresponding
mortality
and

reduction
estimates.
The

will
spend

After
the
detailed

of
impacted
species
is
developed,
facility
and
contracted
staff
will
work
together
to
develop
estimates
of
the
commercial
and
recreation
value
of
the
impacted
species
and
the
other
species
which
depend
on
them
as
a

source.
EPA
assumes
the
biologists
contracted
to
do
the
Impingement
Mortality
and
Entrainment
Characterization
Study
will
take
the
lead
on
developing
the
monetized
benefit
estimates,
spending
five
weeks
to
develop
a
comprehensive
valuation
of
the
current
impacts
from
impingement
mortality
and

at
the
site
and
the
benefits
derived
from
reducing
the
impact
to
commercial
and
recreational
species
residing
in
the
source
water.
The
junior
technical
staff
will
spend
three
and
a
half
weeks
assisting
the
biologist
and
helping
develop
and
revise
the
monetized

helping
with
the
development
of
present

estimates
for
the

costs
and
the
monetized

so
that
they
can
be
compared.
Facility

Permit
Application
Monitoring
Labor
Burden
and
Costs
Although
no
monitoring
studies
are
specifically
required
under
the
proposed
rule,
facilities
are
required
to
provide
the
Director
with
a
comprehensive
set
of
data
to
demonstrate
that
their
chosen
method
of
compliance
adequately
addresses
impingement
and
entrainment.
As
a
result,
EPA
anticipates
that
many
facilities
will
perform
monitoring
studies
to
obtain
the
necessary
information
to
complete
their
permit
application.
EPA
recognizes
that
there
will
be
a
range
of
potential
durations
and
costs
for
monitoring
studies
performed
by
facilities
as
part
of
the
permit
application
process.

1.
Impingement
Mortality
and
Entrainment
Characterization
Study
On
average,
the
study
is
expected
to
take
three
years
for
the
facilities
to
perform.
This
estimate
takes
into
account
that
some
facilities
will
have
access
to
existing
data,
which
may
allow
them
to
reduce
the
duration
of
the
monitoring
period,
while
other
facilities
may
require
additional
time
due
to
the
confounding
effects
of
other
factors
such
as
very
dry
years
or
fish
kills
due
to
red
tides.
The
Study
is
assumed
to
be
performed
prior
to
permit
issuance.
Facilities
that
become
subject
to
the
rule
within
the
first
three
years
are
assumed
to
provide
the
Director
with
preliminary
study
results,
and
complete
the
monitoring
after
the
permit
has
been
issued,
to
avoid
16
delays
in
permit
reissuance.
The
monitoring
study
consists
of
an
extensive
sampling
effort
performed
primarily
by
contracted
employees,
and
then
the
characterization
of
the
data
in
the
form
of
a
study
report
that
is
produced
by
both
facility
and
contracted
employees.

a.)
Sample
Types
To
accurately
characterize
the
effects
of
impingement
and
entrainment
on
the
aquatic
communities
found
in
the
source
water,
offshore
monitoring
must
occur
at
the
same
time
that
monitoring
for
impingement
and
entrainment
is
occurring.
As
a
result,
EPA
assumes
that
monitoring
is
performed
simultaneously
at
the
facility
for
impingement
and
entrainment,
and
offshore
at
the
edge
of
the
determined
zone
of
influence.
Since
impingement
more
often
impacts
adult
organisms,
while
entrainment
affects
juvenile
organisms,
offshore
samples
must
be
taken
of
both
juvenile
and
adult
organisms.
Therefore,
EPA
assumes
that
four
types
of
sampling
will
occur.

Impingement
Mortality
and
Entrainment
Characterization
Study
Sample
Types
Sample
Type
Location
of
Sample
Impingement
Sample
At
the
intake
structure.

Entrainment
Sample
In
the
facility.

Offshore
Sample
for
Juvenile
Organisms
At
the
edge
of
the
zone
of
influence.

Offshore
Sample
for
Adult
Organisms
At
the
edge
of
the
zone
of
influence.

To
accurately
characterize
seasonal
and
annual
fluctuations
in
aquatic
communities
impacted
by
the
CWIS,
EPA
assumes
sampling
is
performed
at
the
facility
on
a
biweekly
basis
over
three
years.
To
characterize
daily
fluctuations
each
time
sampling
occurs,
five
samples
are
taken
over
a
twenty­
four
hour
period.
As
a
result,
there
are
assumed
to
be
390
samples
taken
over
the
three
year
period
(
3
years
×
26
weeks
×
5
samples
=
390
samples),
for
each
sample
type.

b.)
Implementing
Offshore
Sampling
EPA
believes
that
a
sizable
majority
of
the
monitoring
work
will
be
carried
out
by
the
biologists
and
biological
technicians.
Over
the
course
of
the
three
year
monitoring
period,
other
employees
will
also
spend
time
contributing
to
the
use
of
the
monitoring
data.
For
example,
a
statistician
is
likely
to
spend
five
weeks
over
the
course
of
the
three
years
analyzing
the
monitoring
data.
This
work
is
not
likely
to
be
distributed
evenly
between
sample
type
or
from
month
to
month.
However,
for
illustrative
purposes
EPA
is
providing
estimates
of
employee
burdens
for
each
sample
type.

For
offshore
freshwater
sampling,
EPA
assumes
that
the
labor
burden
is:
17

Biologist:
A
biologist
spends
approximately
4
hours
conducting
each
offshore
freshwater
sampling

Every

of
the

Similar
to
freshwater
offshore
sampling,
EPA
expects
that
the
same
number
of
samples
(
780
offshore
samples)
and
the
same
type
of
activities
will
occur
at
facilities
with
marine
waters.
However,
EPA
assumed
that
offshore
sampling
would
require
more
effort
at
marine
sites
than
at
freshwater
sites,
due
to
the
higher
levels
of
biota
typically
present.
Therefore,
EPA
estimates
that
the
offshore
marine
sampling
takes
approximately
30%
more
time
than
offshore
freshwater
sampling.

Pilot
Study
for
New
Impingement
and
Entrainment
Technology
As
part
of
the
Design
and
Construction
Technology
Plan,
facilities
must
include
a
sitespecific
evaluation
of
the
technology(
ies)
and/
or
operational
measures.
This
site­
specific
evaluation
can
be
based
on
representative
studies
(
i.
e.,
studies
that
have
been
conducted
at
cooling
water
intake
structures
located
in
the
same
waterbody
type
with
similar
biological
characteristics)
and/
or
site­
specific
technology
prototype
studies.
EPA
assumes
for
the
sitespecific
technology
prototype
studies,
that
the
facilities
will
conduct
an
on­
site
pilot
study
for
the
new
technology
or
operational
measure.

Pilot
studies
are
the
temporary
installation
and
operation
of
a
small
scale
version
of
the
proposed
technology.
Facilities
typically
use
pilot
studies
to
determine
how
well
a
technology
will
work
under
the
site­
specific
conditions
before
carrying
out
a
full
scale
installation
of
the
technology.
When
determining
the
relative
scope
and
duration
of
the
pilot
study,
size
of
the
pilot
study
equipment
as
compared
to
the
full
scale
technology
and
the
extent
of
the
data
that
the
28
study
will
need
to
generate
are
considered.
Facilities
weigh
how
likely
the
performance
of
the
pilot
equipment
will
translate
adequately
to
the
full
scale
technology
(
i.
e.
will
the
pilot
study
results
be
applicable
to
the
actual
proposed
technology).
The
next
decision
facilities
weigh
is
the
cost
of
the
pilot
study
against
the
financial
risk
of
installing
the
actual
technology
without
being
tested
on­
site.
In
other
words,
the
greater
the
potential
of
financial
risk
associated
with
the
proposed
technology
failing,
the
higher
the
expenses
a
facility
is
willing
to
spend
on
a
pilot
study
to
ensure
that
it
will
work
properly.

In
general,
pilot
study
costs
vary.
The
variables
that
affect
pilot
study
costs
are
regulations,
testing
protocols,
and
testing
duration.
Pilot
equipment
is
either
rented
or
manufactured
to
suit
specific
site
conditions.
Generally,
in
either
case,
a
typical
ratio
of
total
pilot
study
costs
to
the
actual
technology
costs
is
less
than
one
to
ten
for
technologies
that
cost
more
than
one
million
dollars.
Therefore,
EPA
assumes
that
facilities
will
be
willing
to
spend
10%
of
the
technology
installation
cost
on
a
pilot
study
to
determine
if
the
technology
will
function
properly
when
installed
and
operated.

EPA
assumes
that
a
typical
pilot
study
will
involve
the
following
activities:
installing
an
intake
pipe
separate
from
the
facility's
actual
cooling
water
system,
but
in
the
vicinity
of
the
operating
CWIS;
deploying
the
proposed
technology
to
feed
in
the
separate
intake
pipe
and
pumping
water
through
the
intake
so
that
impingement
and
entrainment
levels
can
be
observed
under
various
pumping
scenarios
and
seasonal
conditions.

An
important
cost
element
in
the
Pilot
Study
is
the
cost
of
monitoring.
EPA
realizes
that
the
amount
of
monitoring
necessary
will
vary
depending
on
the
technology
and
the
biological
characteristics
of
the
source
water.
However,
EPA
assumes
that
a
typical
monitoring
effort
would
involve
five
samples
being
collected
over
a
twenty­
four
hour
period,
every
two
weeks
for
six
months.
Facilities
will
need
to
analyze
the
data,
summarize
the
results,
and
use
this
information
as
the
basis
for
their
site­
specific
evaluation.
EPA
estimates
that
the
pilot
study
monitoring
and
reporting
costs
will
typically
range
between
$
50,000
and
$
110,000
for
a
facility,
depending
on
the
source
water
type,
and
whether
the
facility
will
need
to
monitor
for
both
impingement
and
entrainment
or
just
impingement.

As
part
of
the
economic
analysis
for
the
proposed
rule,
EPA
has
developed
technology
cost
estimates
for
those
facilities
that
EPA
anticipates
will
install
new
technologies.
The
installation
costs
for
these
technologies
vary
widely
with
the
capital
costs
of
the
relatively
inexpensive
technologies
being
less
than
$
500,000.
EPA
assumes
that
the
financial
risk
to
facilities
installing
relatively
low
cost
technologies
(
in
comparison
to
a
facility's
overall
cost
of
operation,
revenues,
or
anticipated
benefits)
are
not
likely
to
warrant
conducting
a
pilot
study.
In
these
cases,
EPA
believes
that
facilities
with
low
cost
technology
options
will
forgo
a
pilot
study
and
install
the
proposed
technology
based
on
existing
performance
information
or
manufacturers'
guarantees
to
cover
the
cost
of
dismantling
the
equipment.
The
facility
will
then
use
the
impingement
and
entrainment
monitoring
data
from
the
Impingement
Mortality
and
Entrainment
Characterization
Study
to
evaluate
how
well
the
technology
performs.
EPA
assumes
that
when
the
capital
cost
for
the
proposed
technology
is
less
than
$
500,000,
the
facility
will
not
29
perform
a
pilot
study.
A
pilot
study
may
not
be
practical
for
some
of
the
proposed
technologies,
such
as
widening
the
opening
of
the
intake
structure
to
reduce
intake
velocity.
For
those
facilities
anticipated
to
install
technologies
where
a
pilot
study
is
impractical,
EPA
assumes,
for
the
purpose
of
estimating
the
regulatory
economic
burden,
that
they
will
not
perform
pilot
studies
either.

To
develop
total
pilot
study
cost
estimates
for
facilities,
EPA
assumes
that
facilities
will
spend
approximately
10%
of
the
capital
costs
for
installing
the
proposed
technology
on
a
cooling
water
intake.
This
cost
covers
the
installation,
operation,
monitoring,
and
reporting
costs
associated
with
the
pilot
study.
However,
EPA
assumes
that
the
minimum
cost
to
perform
an
acceptable
pilot
study
would
be
$
150,000.
Therefore,
if
10%
of
a
facility's
technology
cost
was
below
$
150,000,
the
facility
was
automatically
assigned
a
cost
of
$
150,000.

For
the
Economic
Analysis,
total
pilot
study
costs
are
reported
on
a
per
facility
basis.
For
the
ICR
Analysis,
average
labor
burdens
and
capital
and
O&
M
costs
are
reported.

a.)
Implement
Pilot
Study
Impingement
Sampling
All
facilities
performing
pilot
studies
will
conduct
impingement
monitoring.
Impingement
monitoring
involves
collecting
data
on
aquatic
organisms
trapped
on
the
outer
part
of
an
intake
structure
or
against
screening
devices
during
periods
of
cooling
water
withdrawal,
to
determine
the
taxa
and
abundance
of
impinged
organisms.
During
the
course
of
the
pilot
study,
EPA
assumes
that
the
impingement
freshwater
sampling
labor
burden
is:

°
Biologist:
A
biologist
will
perform
twelve
sampling
events
over
the
course
of
six
months.
For
each
sampling
event
the
biologist
will
take
five
samples
over
a
twenty­
four
hour
period.
The
biologists
spends
approximately
two
hours
taking
each
freshwater
impingement
sample,
and
an
additional
two
hours
analyzing
the
impinged
organisms.
°
Biological
Technician:
A
biological
technician
accompanies
the
biologist
on
each

visit,
spending
two
hours
taking
each
freshwater

and
an
additional
two
hours
analyzing
the
impinged
organisms.
°
Contracted

The
contracted
manager
spends
a
total
of
eighty
hours
managing
the
impingement
sampling
portion
of
the
contract
and
making
occasional
visits
to
the
site
to
supervise
the
impingement
sampling.
°
Statistician:
A
statistician
spends
approximately
one
week
analyzing
the
impingement
sampling
results
for
statistical
significance.
°
Junior

Facilities
which
are
subject
to
the
entrainment
requirements
will
conduct
entrainment
monitoring
as

Entrainment
monitoring
involves
the
collection
of

and
other
plankton
incorporated
with
cooling

Biological
Monitoring
for
Impingement
Impingement
monitoring
involves
collecting
data
on
aquatic
organisms
trapped
on
the
outer
part
of
an
intake
structure
or
against
screening
devices
during
periods
of
cooling
water
withdrawal,
to
determine
the
taxa
and
abundance
of
impinged
organisms.
The
proposed
rule
requires
facilities
to
monitor
no
less
than
once
per
month
for
impingement.
So
EPA
assumes
that
facilities
will
have
contracted
employees
take
three
samples
for
impingement,
over
a
24
hour
period,
twelve
times
a
year,
for
a
total
of
36
impingement
samples
annually.

Biological
Monitoring
for

Entrainment
monitoring
involves
the
collection
of

incorporated
with
cooling
water
flow
(
entering
and
