Initial one-time setup costs are approximately $3.14M, driven by ROV/submersible purchases, radar/shore surveillance, containment modifications, and an initial contingency reserve; baseline annual operating costs are approximately $3.75M/year, driven mainly by fully-burdened staff wages, patrol vessel charters, amnestic program costs, contingency replenishment, and salvage/ROV operations.

Confidence Notes
Estimates are medium confidence: many line items have wide ranges and per-incident variability (salvage, leaks, and vessel chartering). Staffing and seasonal patterns are better defined, but incident frequency is uncertain.
