| General Comments: |
|
| Cost-Benefit Analysis: |
“The economics of this approach is rarely based on the value of the finished product, but rather on the alternative cost for the other disposal options." |
| BMP Efficacy: |
"Properly done, drilling waste can be used as a filler or base material to make other products; however, the legal liability will always stay with the company who produced the waste initially.†|
