OSTI ID:7340574

Pollution abatement technologies and costs are developed for the metal finishing industry, including job shops (SIC 3471) as well as captive operations that are part of other industry categories. Eight (8) levels of abatement are studied including those promulgated or proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972. Total estimated costs (in 1973 dollars) to achieve the 1977 BPT level are $10.88 billion capital and $2.44 billion/yr OandM. Incremental added costs (also in 1973 dollars) to achieve the 1983 level are $10.84 billion capital and $1.7 billion/yr. OandM. Also developed are residuals generated, and energy and other non-financial resource requirements. An estimated 70,000 facilities are identified under this industry category of which 4,000 are job shops. Over 70% discharge to publicly owned treatment works. (GRA)
