Book Description
In the process of developing environmental regulations and control strategies, it is helpful and often necessary to estimate costs associated with alternate approaches. Compliance costs to the private sector as well as implementation costs to enforcement agencies must be considered. To assist estimating state administrative and enforcement costs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has developed a planning aid which provides a detailed review of enforcement agency activities quickly, minimizing the time required to collect source, monitoring, and cost data. The Air Pollution Control Strategy Resource Estimator (APCSRE) is a computerized model which operates with an updated data base of NEDS, SAROAD, and cost information. After calling the APCSRE model on an EPA terminal, the user defines the strategy to be evaluated. After a question and answer session the APCSRE model estimates expected manpower, equipment, and total dollar costs for implementation of the strategy. This paper describes the APSCRE model and illustrates its application by estimating resource costs associated with implementation of an ambient lead standard and a continuous emission monitoring regulation.

Book Description
A management agency --such as a publicly or privately owned electric utility -- must, if it is to be efficient in carrying out its day-to-day tasks, have a means of monitoring its performance to assess the efficiency of its operations and the effectiveness of its planning. For example, how did the demand for electricity compare with that assumed in planning? How effective were the incentives applied to induce energy conservation by users? Such ex post analyses are essential for improving the planning process and hence for improving decisions with respect to efficiency and resource allocation. Unfortunately, it seems to be very difficult for public agencies to make such ex post evaluations an integral part of agency activities, whether the agencies are "producers," e. g. , the Corps of Engineers or the Bureau of Reclamation with respect to water resources management, or are regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency or the Food and Drug Administration. Here and there a few ex post analyses of agency programs have been done, but rarely by the responsible agency itself. These analyses have attempted to compare the results actually achieved with the results estimated in planning, either in terms of project outputs or in terms of effectiveness of regulatory and/or economic incentives in inducing desired changes in behavior.

Book Description
In these pages is all the information that you-manager, engineer, or other technical professional-would need to select, size, and estimate "budget/study" level capital and annual costs for a variety of air pollution control equipment. This equipment includes wet scrubbers, carbon adsorbers, and other "add-on" devices. This book also deals with such nonstack controls as wet dust suppression systems and flue gas desulfurization systems. The costs are current (1988 or 1989 dollars) and are mainly presented in equational form for ease of computerization and updating. Clear, comprehensive equipment sizing procedures are also detailed. Finally, several detailed example problems are included to illustrate the sizing and costing procedures. This book is not just for technical personnel, however. The material is easy to grasp and use. Anyone with an air pollution control background can follow and apply the procedures and data herein. Using this book, air pollution control professionals can now develop sound, defensible (within ±30%) cost estimates with a minimum of time and effort.
