Alternatively, should a range of cost estimates be made <br /> <br />without regard to any assumed BAT guidelines? In this way, <br /> <br />the sensitivity of costs could be examined as one moved <br /> <br />from zero pollutant discharge (literally, or in the sense <br /> <br />that pollutant concentrations are merely below detectable <br /> <br />levels?) through one or two intermediate levels of treatment <br /> <br />to a .level of treatment that is readily, and relatively <br /> <br />inexpensively, achievable. <br /> <br />D. Do either of the above approaches make sense if in fact it <br /> <br />is likely that coal gas and oil shale facilities will have <br /> <br />no discharges? What is the basis for the judgment that there <br /> <br />will be no discharges? <br /> <br />2. Will the variations in waste water disposal costs between different <br /> <br />kinds of coal gas and oil shale technologies be so great that <br /> <br />more than one cost estimate will be required? If so, how many <br /> <br />technologies or collections of, technologies need to be examined? <br /> <br />3. Is it likely that the amount of water consumed per unit of energy <br /> <br />produced will vary greatly as a function of the level of waste <br /> <br />water treatment which is ac1:lieved? If so, can appropriate estimates <br /> <br />be made? <br /> <br />4. Will the water supply being drawn upon typically have to be treated <br /> <br />before that supply can be used as process water for either coal <br /> <br />gas or oil shale facilities? If so, does that treatment generate <br /> <br />residuals that are, in effect, part of the waste water treatment <br /> <br />problem? If so, can water supply treatment costs be estimated? <br />
