RA Capital and Operating Cost Elements
Cost Element
Description
Provides for exhuming and handling of solid hazardous, toxic and radioactive waste
331XX.08
(HTRW) during remedial action through excavation, sorting, stockpiling, and filling
Solids Collection and
containers. Provides for containment of solid waste through the construction of
Containment
multilayered caps as well as dynamic compaction of burial grounds, cribs, or other
waste disposal units. Includes transport to treatment plant.
Includes collection during remedial action of HTRW-contaminated liquids and sludges
331XX.09
through dredging and vacuuming, and the furnishing and filling of portable containers.
Liquids/Sediment/Slu
Includes the containment of liquids and sludges through the construction of lagoons,
dge Collection and
basins, tanks, dikes, and drain system. Includes transport to treatment plant.
Containment
Includes the demolition and removal during remedial action of HTRW contaminated
331XX.10
drums, tanks, contaminated paint removal, and other structures by excavation and
Drums/Tanks/Structu
downsizing. Does not include filling portable hazardous waste containers or transport
res/Miscellaneous
of wastes to treatment or disposal facilities. See "Solids Collection and Containment"
Demolition and
(331XX.08), "Disposal (Other than Commercial)" (331XX.18), and "Disposal
Removal
(Commercial)" (331XX.19)
Includes operation (separate items for each subsystem technology) of the plant facility
331XX.11
during the remedial action phase, based on the volume of waste material treated,
Biological Treatment
including portable treatment equipment which is charged on a time basis and can be
used on more than one project (331XX.11.(01.-14.)). Includes a separate item for the
construction of a permanent plant facility, including permanent treatment equipment
which is purchased for one project only (331XX.11.50.). Biological treatment is the
microbial transformation of organic compounds. Biological treatment processes can
alter inorganic compounds such as ammonia and nitrate, and can change the oxidation
state of certain metal compounds. Includes in-situ biological treatment such as land
farming as well as activated sludge, composting, trickling filters, anaerobic, and
aerobic digestion. Includes process equipment and chemicals required for treatment.
For transportation see "Transport to Treatment Plant" (331XX.05.11, 331XX.06.08,
331XX.08.03 or 331XX.09.04).
Includes operation (separate items for each subsystem technology) of the plant facility
331XX.12
during the remedial action phase, based on the volume of waste material treated,
Chemical Treatment
including portable treatment equipment which is charged on a time basis and can be
used on more than one project (331XX.12.(01.-14.)). Includes a separate item for the
construction of a permanent plant facility, including permanent treatment equipment
which is purchased for one project only (331XX.12.50.). Chemical treatment is the
process in which hazardous wastes are chemically changed to remove toxic
contaminants from the environment. Type of treatment included in this system are
oxidation/reduction, solvent extraction, chlorination, ozonation, ion exchange,
neutralization, hydrolysis, photolysis, dechlorination, and electrolysis reactions.
Includes process equipment and chemicals required for treatment. For transportation
see "Transport to Treatment Plant" (331XX.05.11, 331XX.06.08, 331XX.08.03 or
331XX.09.04).
