Abstract

Abstract : All Army Major Commands (MACOMs) are required to develop hazardous waste (HW) minimization programs as part of the Army's effort to reduce the amount of waste generated. This program is to include, among other aspects, a comparative economic analysis to determine the most cost-effective minimization alternatives. The results of this analysis can be used to justify requests for funding specific minimization projects. The U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (USACERL) has developed a computer program called CERL economic Analysis for Minimizing Hazardous Wastes (CEAMHW). This program is designed to help installation managers perform economic analysis of HW minimization options by taking them through a step-by-step procedure. This report is the user's manual for CEAMHW. Keywords: Hazardous waste minimization, User manuals, Economic analysis.
