Expected annual
$1.2M
One-time setup
$1.8M
Annual recurring
$1.2M
Personnel
18
One-time setup estimated at approximately $1.835M driven by research instrumentation, structural containment (ditch/fence/liner) and hazardous-chemical reserves; recurring costs are approximately $1.187M/yr driven by staff wages, ongoing acid replenishment/waste handling, research operations, and facilities maintenance.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed line items and ranges allowing a reasoned mid-range estimate, but wide ranges on perimeter size, local costs, acid volumes, and potential acquisition/relocation lead to moderate uncertainty.
