Environmental Engineering Economics Program
Note: EPA no longer updates this information, but it may be useful as a reference or resource.
The Environmental Engineering Economics (E3) Program was established to provide environmental scientists and decision makers with a focal point for information on NRMRL activities related to the cost and cost-effectiveness of environmental technologies and risk management methods. The E3 Program had three primary facets: providing in-house cost estimating assistance to NRMRL researchers; supporting EPA’s Program and Regional Offices; and undertaking fundamental research in areas of interest to the Laboratory.
Although managed by SAB, the E3 Program was a laboratory-wide, inter-Division Program involving all NRMRL Divisions. As such, the scope of E3 was very broad in nature, cutting across all pollutants and media. E3 Program products were developed by the various NRMRL Divisions, and addressed environmental issues ranging from global warming to the removal of arsenic from drinking water. For more information on E3, please read our E3
Program Brief.
The E3 Program provided partial or full support for developing the cost engineering aspects of original and ongoing technical efforts. These efforts included both stand-alone projects and parts of larger environmental programs.
The major projects of the E3 Program were:
- Cost Engineering Support for EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER)
- Cost Estimating Support for NRMRL Environmental Technology Research Projects
- Case Studies Using Full-Cost Accounting Methodology for Integrated Waste Management
- Develop Economic Analysis Capability of The Coating Alternatives Guide (CAGE)
- Develop Economic Analysis Capability of The Solvent Alternatives Guide (SAGE)
- Cost of NAPL Source Removal in Soil and Ground Water Cleanup
- Superfund Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Wood Preserving Sites
- Cost and Performance Models for Primary Fine Particle Control Technologies: A Critical Review
- Cost Effectiveness of Stormwater Flow Control Technologies
- Cost-Effectiveness of Remediation of Trichloroethylene (TCE) in Ground Water
- Costs of NOx Controls for Utility Boilers: A Critical Review
- Cost-Effectiveness Analyses of Natural Attenuation in the Risk Management of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Plumes
- Cost Estimating Tools and Resources for Addressing Sites Under the Brownfields Initiative
