     NEW REPORT AIDS TN ESTIMATING POLLUTION EQUIPMENT COSTS



         The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has published a


     two-volume report on the CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS OF POLLUTION


     CONTROL EQUIPMENT MODULES.


         The publications are designed to aid engineers  and others


     responsible for purchasing and installation of industrial water


     pollution control equipment to prepare reasonable conceptual cost


     estimates for the proposed facilities. Easy-to-use graphs and table


     forms allow rapid evaluation of cost/process decisions for various


     types of flow processing installations.


         Using the methods and data in the USER GUIDE (Vol. I) and the


     companion DATA MANUAL (Vol. II), estimates of costs within 10 percent


     of the actual constructed facility costs were obtained.

new or improved pollution control equipment but to facilitate its




installation.
