 FINAL REPORT OF JOINT STATE-EPA 1974 SURVEY OF ESTIMATES OF COSTS OF
         CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLICLY-OWNED WASTE TREATMENT WORKS

I.   INTRODUCTION

     This final report presents State and EPA estimates of the cost
of construction of publicly-owned treatment works needed to meet the
1983 goals of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments (FWPCA)
of 1972.  The report is submitted in compliance with Sections 516(b)(2)
and 205(a) of the FWPCA, as further amended by Public Law 93-243.
These provisions of the law have the dual purpose of obtaining a
comprehensive estimate of the total cost of meeting the goals of the
FWPCA, and of estimating these costs State-by-State as a possible  basis
for the allocation of construction grant funds authorized after
Fiscal Year 1975.

     Public Law 93-243 required EPA to obtain these estimates by a
Nation-wide survey utilizing a modified version of the survey questionnaire
prepared for the 1973 "Needs" Survey.  The 1973 Survey, however, was
restricted to documenting needs necessary to meet only the 1977
requirements of the FWPCA, therefore to comply with the legislative
purpose of obtaining a comprehensive estimate of all the costs of
meeting the 1983 goals of the FWPCA, the guidelines for the 1974 Survey
were far less constraining.  A Preliminary Report presented EPA's  initial
findings from this Survey to the Congress on September 3, 1974, and
expressed the Agency's serious reservations about using the estimates
for future allocation of construction funds among the States.  These
reservations were founded on the Agency belief:  (1) that the total
estimates probably overstated the cost of meeting the 1983 goals of
the FWPCA - with the cost of abating pollution from stormwater overflows
being of particular concern; and (2) that the comparability of State
data was inadequate because of major variations both in the criteria
and methodology used by the States in making their estimates and in
adhering to Agency Survey guidelines.  Also the Preliminary Report
findings were based on a limited review of the Survey questionnaires
and an evaluation of State reports on the Survey.

     Following the September Preliminary Report, the Agency concentrated
on completing a detailed review of all State estimates.  There were
three basic reasons for this more comprehensive review.  The first
was to identify and correct inadvertent clerical reporting
inaccuracies.  The second was to further evaluate State cost estimates
that appeared to be excessive or otherwise deficient from the standpoint
of technical validity.  The third purpose was to consider the possible
use of the estimates for allocation purposes and to identify data
anomalies that would treat any State unfairly.   As a rosult of these review
actions EPA has developed a separate set of data which it considers
to be a more realistic portrayal of the National facility requirements.

-------
This Report also covers the Agency's analysis of the process of
identifying needs and developing a formula for allocating
funds to the States. The needs identification process is evaluated
in terms of how this Survey was conducted, and its resultant impact
on the estimates contained in the report.
II.
EXPLANATION OF THE SURVEY
The 1974 Survey asked the States to report their cost estimates
in the five major categories used in the 1973 Survey plus one new one
for treatment and/or control of stormwaters. Two of these
categories were divided for the 1974 Survey. The categories are
briefly described below:
Category I - This includes costs for facilities which would provide
a legally required level of "secondary treatment," or "best practicable
wastewater treatment technology (BPWTT)." For the purpose of the
Survey, BPWTT and secondary treatm2nt were to be considered synonymous.
Category II Costs reported in this category are for treatment
facilities that must achieve more stringent levels of treatment. This
requirement exists where water quality standards require removal of such
pollutants as phosphorous, ammonia, nitrates, or organic substances.
Category IlIA - This includes costs for correction of sewer system
infiltration/inflow problems. Costs could also be reported for a
preliminary sewer system analysis and for the more detailed Sewer System
Evaluation Survey.
Category IIIB - Requirements for replacement and/or major rehabilitation
of existing sewage collection systems are reported in this category.
Costs were to be reported if the corrective actions were necessary to
the total integrity of the system. Major rehabilitation is considered
extensive repair of existing sewers beyond the scope of normal
maintenance programs.
Category IVA - This category consists of costs for construction
of collector sewer systems designed to correct violations caused by raw
discharges, seepage to waters from septic tanks and the like, and/or
to comply with Federal, State or local actions.
Category IVB - This category consists of costs of new interceptor
sewers and transmission pumping stations necessary for the bulk transport
of wastewaters.
Category V - Costs reported for this category are to prevent
periodic bypassing of untreated wastes from combined sewers to an
extent violating water quality standards or effluent limitations.
It does not include treatment and/or control of stormwaters.
2

-------
Category VI - States were also asked to make a rough cost estimate in a
sixth category, "Treatment and/or Control of Stormwaters." This includes
the costs of abating pollution from stormwater run-off channelled
through sewers and other conveyances used only for such run-off. The
costs of abating pollution fronl stormwater channelled through combined
sewers which also carry sewage are included in Category V. Category VI
was added so the Survey would provide an estimate of all eligible
facility costs, as explicitly required by Public Law 93-243.
The estimates were to be reported in June 1973 dollars, and
are therefoi'e comparable to the costs in the 1973 Survey. Estimates
were also to be based on the projected 1990 population as in the
1973 Survey.
The 1974 Survey was initiated January 31, 1974. when a letter
with a general outline of how the survey would be conducted was
distributed to each State along with a copy of the questionnaire.
The States assumed responsibility for seeing that the Survey
questionnaires were completed. They had the option, as in 1973, of
completing a Survey questionnaire for each facility themselves, or
forwarding a questionnaire to each local sewerage authority for
completion. A more detailed description of how the Survey was conducted
is included as Appendix A.
I 11.
RESULTS OF THE SURVEY
The total of all State estimates and their comparison with
the 1973 totals is su~narized by category in the table below.
There are three sets of figures for 1974: (1) the original State
data as reported in the September Preliminary Report; (2) the State
figures after correcting inadvertent clerical reporting inaccuracies;
and (3) the set of estimates resulting from Agency adjustments based on
evaluation of technical validity of cost estimates and identification of
data anomalies that would unfairly treat JilY State if the estin,ates are
used in a grant allocation formula.
Included in the final EPA adjusted 1974 figures is S4G billion
for Categories I, II and IVG that reflect the costs for the traditional
Water Quality Program of treatment plants and interceptors. An
additional $61 billion is included for Categories III, IVA and V.
The State estimates for the new Category VI (treatment and/or
control of stormwaters) are $235 billion. Total costs for all
categories reported in the Survey therefore, come to S342 billion.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF THE 1973 AND 1974 SURVEYS
The 1974 Agency adjusted estimates reflect costs for the traditional
Water Quality Program of treatment plants and interceptors (Categories I,
II and IVB) that are$lObillion greater than the $36 billion reported
in the 1973 Survey. The costs reported in 1974 for Categories I-V
are $47 billion greater than the $60 billion reported in the 1973 Survey.
The primary reasons for che increases are the elimination in 1974
of most of the reporting constraints included in the 1973 Survey,
the general expanded scope of the Survey to accommodate reporting of all
costs for all treatment facilities that the States felt were necessary
in their implementation of the FWPCA, and to some degree a better job
of identifying and estimating State facility requirements.
One major impact of the expanded scope of the Survey was that estimates
for treatment plants and interceptors (Categories I, II and IVB) could
be based on water quality standards anticipated by the States for the
future and were not limited to those already established in the past,
as in 1973. One result of this is evidenced in the dramatic shift
from secondary treatment (Category I) to plants requiring more
stringent levels of treatment (Category II). Estimates for
Category III could be reported for major rehabilitation of sewer systems
as well as correction of infiltration and inflow. Major rehabilitation
costs of $7 billion were reported which were not eligible in the
earlier Survey. These estimates did not have to be documented with an
analysis and detailed evaluation of the probl~m as in 1973. Estimates
reported for correction of combined sewer overflows in Category V
were not limited in 1974 by the previous requirement that they be
based on an evaluation of the most economical and/or effective
alternative. A second major result of the expanded scope of the Survey
was the State identification of $235 billion for the new "Treatment and/or
Control of Stormwaters" Category.
QUALITY OF FACILITY ESTIMATES
V.
A.
General Factors Affecting Reliability and Comparability
The reliability of national wastewater treatment need cost
estimates and the State-to-State comparability of these estimates are
influenced primarily by three factors:
(1) The extent to which the requirements for abatement
actions have been clearly d~fined through National, State and local plans,
rules, regulations, standards, etc., determines whether abatement action
decisions can be made, as well as the accuracy with which corrective
action costs can be estimated.
(2) The state-of-the-art in abatement technology also
determines how accurately cost estimates can be made and whether they
can be validated once they have been ~ade.
5

-------
(3) The synthesis of all relevant factors through a
planning process that addresses project feasibility and practicability
is essential before realistic decisions and estimates can be made on
any abatement action.
The net impact of these three factors is that if an abatement program
area is well defined - where decisions are clear as to the specific
requirement for an abatement action, and as to the best and most cost
effective solution - then cost estimates can be made that are quite
accurate and should not vary from year to year. If abatement requirements
are unclear and alternatives numerous - estimates will be poor and may
fluctuate widely each time they are made. Similarly, if the technology
for an abatement solution is unclear - \~here there are many options and
little experience with any of the options - then estimates may have only
limited value. In such situations, estimates made by different parties
for correcting the same type abatement problem may also fluctuate widely
both at a given point in time, and from year to year. Even if program
requirements and abatement technology are well defined there is no
assurance of high quality estimates unless proper consideration is
given to such planning elements as alternative waste management
techniques and cost-effectiveness studies.
The ability to validate estimates bears a direct relationship
to the ability to make them.
B.
1974 Survey Reliability
In terms of the three factors discussed in paragraph A
that influence the facility cost estimating process, the 1974 Survey
data has varying levels of reliability between the six cost categories.
(1 )
Program Definition:
The Survey guidelines were designed to meet the legislative
requirement that all facility costs required in implementing the Act be reported.
The problem in using such estimates is that they are based on implementation
strategies that are in varying stages of development. Because of the
inherent flexibility of abatement choices, the States could not be
consistent or uniform in reporting their needs in situations where goals
were not well-defined, or wher~ there was no recognized "best method"
for a solution. In those cases, when the range of choices available for
abatement actions relating to a given pollution problem were wide,
and when the legal requirements for correction offered significant
latitude, there was considerable unevenness in the impact of the diverse
approaches taken by States in determining what corrective abatement
actions were necessary and in estimating the cost of such actions.
This situation exists in relation to costs reported
in Categories III, V and VI, and makes meaningful State-by-State comparisons
extremely difficult. Policy decisions in the Category VI, stormwater,
area are in a particularly embryonic state of development and made
cost comparisons impossible.

B.
1974 Survey Reliability
In terms of the three factors discussed in paragraph A
that influence the facility cost estimating process, the 1974 Survey
data has varying levels of reliability between the six cost categories.
(1 )
Program Definition:
The Survey guidelines were designed to meet the legislative
requirement that all facility costs required in implementing the Act be reported.
The problem in using such estimates is that they are based on implementation
strategies that are in varying stages of development. Because of the
inherent flexibility of abatement choices, the States could not be

approaches taken by States in determining what corrective abatement

This situation exists in relation to costs reported
in Categories III, V and VI, and makes meaningful State-by-State comparisons
extremely difficult. Policy decisions in the Category VI, stormwater,
area are in a particularly embryonic state of development and made
cost comparisons impossible.
6

-------
There were cost comparison problems even in Categories I,
II, and IV, because under the Survey guidance, States were permitted to
project such corrective actions that would solve known or anticipated
problems in achieving the 1983 goals of the Act. Since the Water Quality
Standards to meet such objectives will not be established until about
1978 by joint State and EPA concurrence, it was necessary for the various
States to make an assumption as to what standards would ultimately be
established. The assumed standards were then utilized in establishing
the 1983 level of treatment for each plant, and costs estimated accordingly.
Some States based their projections on the same standards utilized in
the 1973 Survey, while others assumed that major increases would be
required in the stringency of standards and estimated very high
levels of treatment.
(2 )
Cost Estimating Technology:
The ability to make reasonably accurate engineering
cost estimates and to validate them exists for Category I, II, and IV
abatement needs, but is at a low state of refinement for Category III,
V. and VI needs. The EPA guidelines provided to the States for guidance
in making estimates in Categories III, V, and VI were admittedly of
minimal assistance and had limited value in making detailed engineering
estimates and State-by-State comparisons. No cost estimating guidelines
could be provided to the States for Category IllS because of the great variance
in case-by-case factors in this area.
(3)
Facilities Planning:
As was the case with program definition and estimating
technology, the facilities planning element was more effective in the
production of quality estimates in Categories I, II and IV needs.
This is to be expected as those Categories encompass the facilities
that have received the most funding under the traditional water quality
program and have been evaluated more carefully because of their
priority status. Much planning has already occured in this area and
factors affecting decisions nave been relatively well defined.
This is true however, only as it relates to planning for facilities
that are designed for the 1977 requirements of the Act. For the most
part, States that made estimates based on projected 1983 requirements
that were significantly more stringent than the 1977 effluent limitations
were doing so for the first time, and generally made the estimates
without benefit of formal planning.
Planning in Categories III and V can only be considered
effective for the portion oT the estimates for which formal analyses
have been completed. Virtually no completed planning was available for
Category VI estimates. The State data revealed an incidence of high
per capita flows that is an indicator of a :Jational planning defect in
this area. It is indicative that insufficient consideration has been
given to the control and reduction of flow impacting the sizing of
treatment facilities.
7

-------
          C.  Agency Assessments

               The unevenness in the estimates that is described in the
preceeding section resulted primarily fr"om the wide differences in
approach taken by the individual States in projecting the level of
effluent limitations they would impose tfithin their State to meet the
1983 goals of the Act.  Public Law 93-243 allows the States
to project any level of treatment they think necessary.   However,'the
amount of distortion from those few States taking an extremely stringent
approach appeared sufficiently large to have a potential adverse impact
on the development of an equitable State allocation formula.  A dilemma
between following the dictates of the Act and providing fair treatment
to all States was thus created.

               The Agency decided that a responsive but fair allocation
formula was of primary concern and initiated a review of State estimates
to identify those costs that might create abnormal distortions.  Because
the States were in fact following the Act in terms of projecting their
long-range effluent requirements, the Agency review of necessity had to
be somewhat subjective.  For this reason the adjusted figures may not
reflect a clear picture of an individual State's total long-range needs but are
considered more representative of the actual short-term requirements
that would be met through funding under^any current allocation formula.

  f            The potential for distortion also existed in those
situations where States deviated significantly from Agency Survey
Guidelines.  This was also evaluated in'the review process and three areas
were identified where State estimates deviated from either the Survey
guidelines or from what the Agency considered acceptable engineering standards.
The Agency assessment indicates that excessive costs were reported as
the result of estimates exceeding EPA cost curves, the Census Bureau 1990
population projections and acceptable flow per capita standards.  For
the reasons stated in the preceeding section, major Agency assessments
could be made only for the Category I, II and IVB estimates.  A summary
table showing the independent assessments for each State is attached as
Appendix B.

               The State needs as reported for Category IVA (New
Collectors) are not considered comparable because they were developed using
two different assumptions.  Several of the States developed needs on the
basis of the PL 92-JOO requirement (Section 211) that limits eligibility
for new collectors only to those communities where a substantial portion
of the population existed prior to October 18, 1972, and this eligibility
constraint was included in the Survey guidelines.  Other States developed
needs on the basis of the assumed legislative intent of PL 93-243,
directing the reporting of all needs for all treatment works necessary to
meet the goals of PL 92-500.  The resulting disparity in reported costs
has been analyzed and a separate EPA assessment made.  However, the Agency
feels the results still do not provide an acceptable level of comparability.

-------
In making these independent assessments the Agency
identified at least $650 million in the State of Mary1and1s estimates
that appeared in the review to be anomalous. The State has indicated
that this large increase in treatment requirements is due to special
pollution problems effecting their shellfish industry and eutrophication
of the Chesapeake Bay. The State estimate was not reduced, in the EPA
adjustment process because the stringent effluent limitations are
considered by the State to be immediate requirements that will impact
current facility design.
VI.
COST OF THE SURVEY
The conduct of the 1974 Needs Survey involved the committment of
a substantial amount of both Federal and State resources. The Agency
expended approximately $1 million for the project up through the period
of Final Report submittal. It is known that the State's funding
committment was at least $1.5 million. In addition, the Survey
required the diversion of critical manpower during peak periods of
the Survey. The National construction grant program suffered because
personnel diverted were generally from that activity.
VII.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A.
Potential Use of Estimates
To comply with the requirements of PL 93-243, these National
estimates must be considered in two separate ways. They should be
viewed both in terms of their value as an indicator of the total National
long range facility requirements of PL 92-500, and in terms of their
value for establishing State allocation formulae.
For the several reasons cited in the preceding sections of
this Report, there was a degree of unevenness in the State corrected
estimates that was considered unacceptable when viewing the data for
allocation purposes. The Agency review process identified the extent of
this unevenness and the estimates were adjusted accordingly. No meaningful
adjustments could be made for Categories III, V and VI because of the
status of program definitions, abatement technology and facilities
planning.
If after consideration is given to the status of data comparability,
the 1974 Survey estimates are to be used for allocation purposes, only
Categories I, II and IVB are recommended for use. The Agency adjusted
figures in these three Categories are considered to be sufficiently
accurate for such purposes when viewed within the context of their
overall National validity. These figures are also felt to be adequate
for use as an indicator of total National requirements.
9

-------
The cost estimates for the new Category VI, (treatment and/or
control of stormwaters), are not considered useful as either an indicator
of any long-term requirements, or for allocation purposes. States
reporting large requirem~nts in this category assumed that a stringent
level of abatement for very large geographical areas would be necessary
to meet water quality standards. The state-of-the-art is not such that
the Agency can provide an alternative estimate for this category, but
the few studies which have been conducted to assess the impact, indicate
that the actual requirements in this category will be substantially less
than the total reported by the States.
The Agency adjusted cost estimates for Categories IlIA,
IIIB, IVA and V have limited value as an indicator of gross National
requirements, but only when considered within the context of other
comments regarding the needs identification policies that governed the
conduct of this Survey. The cost estimates for these four Categories
are not considered adequate for allocation purposes.
B.
Allocation Formula
There has been continuing debate over the allocation
formula used for distributing available construction grant funds among
the States. When a strict population formula was used in the past
it did not provide adequate funding to States that had high population
concentrations and a resulting need for construction of sophisticated
and expensive treatment facilities. When the legislation linked funding
directly to estimated facility needs there were other inequities created.
The problems with an allocation formula based strictly on needs relate
primarily to the ability to accurately make and validate estimates,
and are particularly acute when the estimates involve facility needs
projected for State implementation of longer-range abatement requirements.
This latter situation has been identified in the Report and the Agency
believes that the unevenness of the estimates, even though adjusted
through the Survey final review process, should be further tempered
by the inclusion of a population factor within the allocation formula.
A new construction grant allocation formula is recommended
that would be based on an equal 50 percent division between population
and the Agency adjusted cost estimates for Categories I, II and IVB.
This proposed formula is recommended for use in allocating any new
funds that might be authorized over and above those authorized in
PL 92-500 for Fiscal Years 1973, 1974, and 1975. With regard to the
$5 billion of currently unallotted funds, it is EPA's intent to
allot them pursuant to the 1973, 1974, and 1975 formulae in
such a way as if they had been released in the time periods intended by the
Act. Accordingly, the Agency does not recommend the application of
a new allocation formula to any of these reserve funds.
Funding for the District of Columbia's "Slue Plains"
water pollution control plant should be considered in the development
of an allocation formula since the City has only one major treatment
plant project and the allocation formula might not provide adequate
funding.

C.
Future Identification of Facility Requirements
Several problems relating to data reliability and
comparability have been cited in this Report. Because of these
problems, and the heavy drair. on State and Federal resources
required to conduct the 1974 Survey. the Agency will investigate
different procedures for deriving future Section 516 facility estimates.
To be more effective for equitable allocation purposes,
the structuring of an alternative facility requirement identification
process should be directed toward improving the relationship between
the dollar estimate and the actual way in which the funds will be
used. To accomplish this will require that estimating concentrate
on areas of program priority and grant eligibility.

The Agency will work closely with Committee staff
members as it develops an alternative approach.

APPENDIX A.
SURVEY METHODOLOGY
Major 1974 Survey Policies:
The following key procedures were adopted to carry out the
expanded scope of the Survey:

1. The five categories of needs as reported in the 1973 Survey
were retained but with format changes as indicated:
(a)
Costs for Category I or II were to be reported in either
one of the Categories, but not in both.

Cate~ory III was split so that needs were reported in
two (2) new categories: Category IlIa deals with
"Infiltration/Inflow Correction," Category IIIB
deals with IIr~ajor Sewer System Rehabilitation."
Major sewer system rehabilitation needs were not
allowed in the 1973 Survey unless they were related
to infiltration/inflow correction and based on a
completed study. Reporting was allowed in this
Survey in Category IIIb for major rehabilitation or
replacement of deteriorated sewers necessary to the
total integrity and performance of the system.
(b)
(c)
Category IV was separated into Category IVa for IINew
Coll ectors II and Category IVb for "New Interceptors. II
This change also combined the cost of appurtenances
into the appropriate Category.
2. A new category VI was established to allow reporting of costs
for the treatment and/or control of stormwaters. The costs were to be
based on corrective actions which when completed would solve actual
or anticipated water quality problems in meeting the objectives of
P. L. 92-500. The States were allowed to report these costs on
either a facility-by-facility, or a State-wide basis, but were
encouraged to use the latter method.

3. Survey instructions that limited reporting of needs in 1973
were removed, such as skip instructions that restricted cost reporting.
Also, State water quality standards did not require EPA approval
by a specified date in order to justify a reported need. However,
query questions were retained which would display the status of
completion of applicable studies.
4. Needs disallowed in 1973 as a result of one or more of the
restrictive guidelines, and any newly identified facility requirements,
could be reported in the 1974 Survey.
A -1

-------
5. Changes in the 1973 cost data base were to be reported for such
causes as imposition of additional effluent limitations, designation of
water quality limited segments, or receipt of a grant award for a previously-
reported need. As a result of the changes, 1973 cost data would either
increase, decrease or be deleted.
6. Wherever reference was made in the Survey form to terms relating
to "secondary treatment" they were to be considered for the 1974 Survey
synonymous with the term "Best Practicable Waste Treatment Technology
(BPWTT)." Also for the purposes of this Survey, BPWTT was to mean
secondary treatment under the treatment and discharge alternative,
unless higher levels of treatment were required by water quality standards
or other requirements. Nothing in these definitions affected the
July 1, 1977 secondary treatment requirements of the Act.
7. States had the option of reporting on needs in places of less
than 10,000 population outside Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA1s) by either using the same sample group used in the 1973 Survey,
or reporting this year on a 100 percent basis.

8. For compatibility, all costs in the 1974 Survey were required
to be reported in June, 1973 dollars.
9. Costs were to be based on the design of facilities which will
serve the projected 1990 resident population.
B.
Conduct of the Survey:
The Agency initiated the Survey on January 31, 1974, with the
presentation to each of the States of the general outline and the
basic survey form.
P. L. 93-243 required that Form EPA-l used in 1973 be used again
for the 1974 Survey. Adjustments to the Form were necessary, to add one
new cost category and to eliminate previous reporting restrictions. In
addition, improvements were made to lessen the respondent burden. The
Survey was designed with the advice of an ad hoc group consisting of EPA
Regional Office and State Officials.

As with the 1973 Survey, the State Agency had the option of completing
the Survey questionnaires itself, or forwarding them to individual
sewerage authorities for completion.
The 1974 Survey Plan retained the concept that the costs reported
for all needs must indicate the basis on which the cost estimate was
developed. Where available, the States.wer~ requ~red.to provide da~a to
support their reported needs. Cost estlmatlng gUldellnes were provlded
to assist the States in the absence of more valid sources.

A draft copy of the revised questionnaire and guidelines was
mailed to the States on March 29 1974, so that they could commence
detailed planning for the conduct of the Survey. Instructional
seminars were conducted for the States in the EPA Regional Offices.
The official copies of the Survey questionnaire were mailed to the
States on April 29, 1974, with instructions that by July 26, 1974,
the Forms should all be completed and into the EPA Regional Office.
The States were also requested to provide EPA with a report
summarizing the costs for each Category of needs, and information
relating to the rationale behind any reported needs that were
affected by abatement requirements that either they or EPA had
not formally approved.

The EPA Regional Office Staff conducted an initial screening
of all questionnaires. As these Regional evaluations were completed
the questionnaires were processed for keypunching. The Bureau of the
Census accomplished the keypunching operation and provided EPA with
a tape of the transcribed data from each questionnaire which was used
for the final comprehensive Agency analysis.
