The best fit cost curve is y= $19.027x 0.7236 ; this has an R 2 correlation of 0.9794. Note this<br />

equation estimates the capital construction cost (in millions of 2007 dollars) excluding the<br />

impact of escalation. Escalated cost is a more accurate representation of future project costs.<br />

This curve is statistically valid over a range of 60-170 mgd.<br />

Next Steps<br />

The Team will augment this deliverable for the HEP Nutrient Workgroup’s final deliverable<br />

deadline of November 2007. Goals for the Team’s work include:<br />

• Developing O&M cost estimates in addition to capital cost estimates<br />

• Verifying the adequacy of the various conceptual capital construction cost curves,<br />

particularly for carbon technologies where only four <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> City data points are<br />

available.<br />

• Expanding the predictive range of each cost curve.<br />

• Conducting an independent review of cost estimates.<br />

• Incorporating NYCDEP and HEP feedback, and revising and resubmitting this work Fall<br />

2007.<br />
