Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 20, 2009 / Notices
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. What is the regulatory basis of this
software?
Subtitle C of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
establishes financial assurance
requirements for owners or operators of
hazardous waste treatment, storage, or
disposal facilities (TSDF). The RCRA
hazardous waste regulations, (40 CFR
parts 264 and 265), require that the
owner or operator of a TSDF which
seeks a Part B permit or has interim
status to prepare an estimate of the costs
required to close the facility and the
cost to perform post-closure care at the
facility based on the costs of a thirdparty performing the work.
B. How was the cost estimating method
developed?
In 1986, EPA developed a
methodology to evaluate closure and
post-closure cost estimates. The
methodology is discussed in detail in
Cost Estimates for Closure and PostClosure Care Plans (EPA/530–SW–87–
009). The methodology provides EPA
and state permit writers with a
consistent, accurate and rapid method
of evaluating cost estimates for closure
and post-closure care of TSDFs. The
software resulting from this effort is
called CostPro.
C. How long has CostPro been used?
EPA first issued CostPro in 1996; it
has been updated four times, the last of
which was completed in 2001.
D. Does this action apply to me?
The methods and procedures set forth
in CostPro are intended primarily for
the use of EPA and state personnel in
evaluating the adequacy of current cost
estimates for closure and post-closure
care of typical hazardous waste TSDFs.
EPA has received a number of inquiries
about CostPro from industry. To provide
industry with our basis for these
estimates, EPA will provide copies of
CostPro upon request, as described in
this notice.
E. What are the benefits to the update
of CostPro?
The primary benefits to the update of
CostPro are that (1) it will be on a
MS.NET 2.0 platform in C#, which is a
contemporary software platform and (2)
the program data have been updated to
2009 values.
F. How is a CostPro estimate
developed?
CostPro’s general procedure for
evaluating a cost estimate for a TSDF
involves:
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:27 May 19, 2009
Jkt 217001
• Identifying each facility waste
management unit (e.g., container storage
unit, tank, landfill, etc.) requiring
closure or post-closure care;
• Identifying the closure or postclosure care activities to be conducted at
each waste management unit;
• Completing inventory worksheets
provided for each waste management
unit;
• Completing closure or post-closure
care worksheets for primary and support
worksheets for each waste management
unit (e.g., removal, transportation and
disposal of waste, building
decontamination, and sampling and
analysis, etc.); and,
• Evaluating total cost summary
worksheets for each waste management
unit and for the facility as a whole.
G. What are the sources of CostPro
data?
The primary sources of cost
information include the 2009 R.S.
Means Means Building Construction
Cost Data and Means Site Work and
Landscape Cost Data guides and the
2006 Azimuth ECHOS (Environmental
Cost Handling Options and Solutions)
Environmental Remediation Cost Data
guide. EPA has paid a fee to these
companies for the use of these data by
EPA and state government personnel
only. Some data, e.g., costs for geotextile
netting and geomembranes for landfills
have been supplied by vendors.
H. How can the public obtain a copy of
CostPro?
Because EPA’s license for use of the
program data extends only to EPA and
one copy for each state government,
public users who want to obtain a copy
of the software package (or state
governments that want to obtain more
than one copy of the software package)
will be asked to pay a fee to R.S. Means
for its use, and submit proof to EPA that
appropriate permission has been
obtained from the R.S. Means Company.
Contact Peter Cholakis of R.S. Means at
peter.cholakis@reedbusiness.com. EPA
will then mail a CD to the requester. See
EPA contact information above.
