Environmental Engineering Economics Program
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 has three primary facets: provide in-house cost estimating assistance to NRMRL researchers; support EPA's Program and Regional Offices; and undertake fundamental research in areas of interest to the Laboratory.
Although managed by SAB, the E3 Program is a laboratory-wide, inter-Division Program involving all NRMRL Divisions. As such, the scope of E3 is very broad in nature, cutting across all pollutants and media. E3 Program products are developed by the various NRMRL Divisions, and address 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 provides partial or full support for developing the cost engineering aspects of original or ongoing technical efforts. These efforts may be stand-alone projects or part of a larger environmental program.
The major projects of the E3 Program are:
- 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
