Prepared byStephe;~riebe,~ckbeed Idaho Chris Iachay,h~d Idaho Date Z-1( *95Date EXECUTIVE SUMMARỸ report dmcribes the activity based costing method used to acquire variable (volume dependent or avoidable) waste management wst data for routine operations at Department of Ener~(DOE) facifiti=. Waste volumes horn environmental r=toration, facility stabilization activities, and legacy waste were sp~ifically e.scIuded from this effort. A core team consisting of Idaho National Engin=rirrg Laboratory, Los Alamoa National Laboratory, Rocky Ftats Environmental Technology Site, and Oak Ridge Reservation develo@ and piloted the methodology, which cart be used to determine avoidable waste management rests.The method developed to gather information was based on activity baaed costing, which is a common industrial engineering technique. Sites submitted separate flow diagrams that showed the progrmion of work from activity to activity for each waste type or treatability group. Each activity on a flow diagram was described in a narrative, whwh detailed the scope of the activity. Labor and material coats baaed on a unit quantity of waste being proceaacd were then summed to generate a totai mst for that flow diagram. Cross-complex valuea were calcdated by determining a weighted average for each waste type or trcatability group baaed on the volume generated.'flria study wifl provide DOE and contractors with a better understanding of waste management pr-ea and their associated coats. Other potential benefits incIude providing cost data for sites to perform consistent Coathenefit anal~es of waste minimization and pollution prevention (WMINEP) options identified during pollution prevention opportunity assessments and providing a means for prioritizing and allocating limited reaourfor WMINPP.

If this is a satellite storage area, the cost is $0. Otherwise, assume that it takes 5 minutedday to do the inspections, and let's say that the time frame is 90 days, which totals 7.5 hours. Then, $52.30 * 7.5 hr /B7 to get the unit costs.
