Post-RA O&M Cost Elements
Cost Element
Description
Includes post construction O&M (separate for each subsystem technology) of
342XX.14
the plant facility, based on the volume of waste material treated, including
Thermal Treatment
portable treatment equipment which is charged on a time basis and can be used
on more than one project (342XX.14.(01.-07.)). Includes a separate item for
the yearly post construction O&M of a permanent plant facility
(342XX.14.50.). Thermal treatment is the destruction of wastes through
exposure to high temperature in combustion chambers and energy recovery
devices. Several processes capable of incinerating a wide range of liquid and
solid wastes include fluidized bed, rotary kiln, multiple hearth, infrared,
circulating bed, liquid injection, pyrolysis, plasma torch, wet air oxidation,
supercritical water oxidation, molten salt destruction, and solar detoxification.
Includes process equipment and chemicals required for treatment. For
transportation see "Transport to Treatment Plant" (342XX.05.11,
342XX.06.08, 342XX.08.03 or 342XX.09.04).
Includes post construction O&M (separate for each subsystem technology) of
342XX.15
the plant facility, based on the volume of waste material treated, including
Stabilization/Fixation/
portable treatment equipment which is charged on a time basis and can be used
Capsulation
on more than one project (342XX.15.(01.-07.)). Includes a separate item for
the yearly post construction O&M of a permanent plant facility
(342XX.15.50.). Stabilization/fixation/encapsulation processes attempt to
improve the handling and physical characteristics of the wastes, decrease the
surface area, limit the solubility of any pollutants and detoxify contained
pollutants.
For transportation see "Transport to Treatment Plant"
(342XX.05.11, 342XX.06.08, 342XX.08.03 or 342XX.09.04).
Includes post construction O&M (separate for each subsystem disposal
342XX.18
method) of the plant facility, based on the volume of waste material disposed,
Disposal (Other than
including portable treatment equipment which is charged on a time basis and
Commercial)
can be used on more than one project (331XX.18.(01.-10.)). Includes a
separate item for the yearly post construction O&M of a permanent disposal
facility (342XX.18.15.). Disposal (Other than Commercial) provides for the
final placement of HTRW or ordnance at facilities owned or controlled by the
Government. An example would be the disposal of wastes through burial at a
DOE nuclear facility or ordnance disposal at DOD facilities. Includes
handling, disposal fees, and transportation to the final Destruction/Disposal/
Storage facility. Excluded is the transportation to a facility for treatment prior
to final disposal. For transportation prior to final disposal see "Transport to
Treatment Plant" (342XX.05.11, 342XX.06.08, 342XX.08.03 or
342XX.09.04). Disposal may be accomplished through the use of secure
landfills, burial grounds, trench, pits, above ground vault, underground vault,
underground mine/shaft, tanks, pads (tumulus / retrievable storage, other),
storage buildings or protective cover structures, cribs, deep well injection,
incinerator, or other.
Includes all Hazardous, Toxic, Radioactive Waste post construction O&M
342XX.9X
work not described by the above listed systems.

Costs to cover unknowns, unforeseen circumstances, or unanticipated
Contingency
conditions associated with projected post-RA O&M.
