Summary:

This publication addresses costs arising during individual phases of an environmental remediation project, how they can be calculated, and how they can be structured and documented. It provides the methodology of cost estimation and includes examples of cost estimate models, development plans, cost elements and work breakdown structures. The publication also contains an overview of potentially suitable remediation technologies, which may help the reader to structure the options study.
