4.5 RESIDUALS HANDLING AND DISPOSAL COSTSCost estimates were generated using the Small Water System Byproducts Treatment andDisposal Cost Document (DPRA, 1993a), and the Water System Byproducts Treatment and DisposalCost Document (DPRA, 1993b).Costs are presented for four water treatment processes: (1) coagulation assistedmicrofiltration, (2) ion exchange, (3) activated alumina, and (4) greensand filtration. The disposaloptions assumed for each of these treatment processes are shown below:# Ion Exchange:- POTW (indirect) discharge# Coagulation Assisted Microfiltration:- Mechanical dewatering and nonhazardous landfill disposal- Non-mechanical dewatering and nonhazardous landfill disposal# Activated Alumina:- Nonhazardous landfill disposal (systems operating without regeneration)# Greensand Filtration:- POTW (indirect) dischargeThe handling and disposal options presented represent those selected by EPA during thedevelopment of the arsenic rulemaking decision tree. These disposal options will be used by EPAduring the Regulatory Impact Analysis. Costs for additional disposal options can be estimated usingthe DPRA disposal cost documents (DPRA, 1993a and 1993b). Capital and O&M cost estimates forthe selected handling and disposal options are presented in Figures 4-1 through 4-14. Capital costestimates for nonhazardous landfill disposal are assumed to be zero. As a result, capital costestimates are not provided when landfill is the sole disposal technology under consideration (i.e.,activated alumina systems choosing not to regenerate). Capital cost estimates are provided ininstances where additional technologies are employed, for example, mechanical dewatering andnonhazardous landfill disposal. Land costs are excluded from all capital cost estimates.4-22
