This compendium provides a representative sample of cost information
for environmental remediation technologies used in the treatment
of hazardous, radioactive, and mixed waste. Data were gathered
from a variety of sources and summarized to provide actual cost
summaries or engineering cost estimates, site characteristics,
and comments detailing remedial projects. This compendium is a
searchable data base as well as the report above. The searchable
data base can be accessed via: http://www.lanl.gov/projects/etcap
