1. This document provides step-by-step instructions for using the Beneficial Use Lifecycle Costing (BLC) tool to estimate costs for water treatment and beneficial use projects.
2. Users enter input data on project details, water quality characteristics, and treatment technology selection. The tool then generates a cost estimate and compares costs of multiple scenarios.
3. Key outputs include a cost template showing estimated capital and operating costs, a cost output sheet summarizing cost ranges for simple-to-complex projects, and a scenarios output sheet to compare different beneficial use options.
