Assessment of the costs and capabilities of water pollution control technology for the steam electric power industry. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7331022
The capabilities of water pollution abatement technologies and associated capital, operating and maintenance costs necessary for the industry to meet the thermal and chemical effluent discharge requirements of the 1972 Water Pollution Control Act Amendments are discussed. Using an econometric model, the authors estimate changes in prices, demand, return on equity, and additional financial parameters due to water pollution control expenditures. Included are estimates of the number of steam electric power units likely to receive exemptions to the requirements of the Act. (GRA)
