($80,000 per year average Subtitle C waste disposal permit cost) / (3.3) = $24,300 per non-haz waste disposal permit<br />
[((93% landfills w/permit) x (337 landfills)) + ((12% impoundments w/permit) x (158 impoundments))] x ($24,300 per permit) =<br />
$8.1 million<br />
Amortized industry cost with a capital recovery factor of 0.07246 (@7% discount rate & 50-years) = $0.59 million/year<br />
State government waste disposal permit cost:<br />
o Build estimate based on the following four RCRA Subtitle C permit-related state government activities associated with RCRA<br />
Subtitle C waste disposal permits: 51<br />
(1,215 pre-application activities) + ($27,063 application review) + ($26,846 permit issuance) + ($3,110 permit maintenance) =<br />
$58,200 average cost per Subtitle C waste disposal permit.<br />
o Assume RCRA Subtitle D (40 CFR 257, 258) waste permitting activities are less burdensome than RCRA Subtitle C waste<br />
permits. Based on factor of 3.3 times more technical standards listed in RCRA Subtitle C (40 CFR 264/265, 268, 270) compared to<br />
Subtitle D (40 CFR 257, 258), assume Subtitle D permitting costs are lower by the 3.3 factor:<br />
($58,200 per year average Subtitle C waste disposal permit cost) / (3.3) = $17,600 per non-haz waste disposal permit<br />
o State Cost Calculation:<br />
[((93% landfills w/permit) x (337 landfills)) + ((12% impoundments w/permit) x (158 impoundments))] x ($17,600 per permit) =<br />
$5.85 million<br />
Amortized state cost with a capital recovery factor of 0.07246 (@7% discount rate & 50-years) = $0.42 million/year<br />
Total baseline permit cost (industry + state government) = $1.01 million per year<br />
