SCP-2823
Expected annual
$10.0M
One-time setup
$29.7M
Annual recurring
$9.4M
Personnel

One-time capital requirements are dominated by a phased pump-station upgrade program; annual costs are driven by regional response personnel, contingency reserves and recurring emergency/repair expenditures. Baseline annual operating costs are ~USD 9.4M, while proactive infrastructure upgrades would add tens of millions in one-time spending.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $9.4M/yr
85.0% probability / year
Normal, uneventful year with routine monitoring, maintenance, one-off annualized event costs and no clustered major incidents.
routine monitoring and maintenance single typical SCP-2823 event annualized
🚨 Minor Incident $12.5M/yr
13.0% probability / year +$3.1M vs baseline
A modest adverse year with a moderate SCP-2823 event (multiple small stations affected) prompting elevated repairs, remediation, evacuation and legal response.
multi-site sabotage requiring emergency pump repairs local evacuations and remediation increased amnestic/PR/legal actions
🚨 Major Incident $19.4M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$10.0M vs baseline
Clustered or severe year with multiple pump-station failures and wide-area flooding requiring large-scale civil works, replacement of multiple pumping stations and major compensation/relief.
multiple full pump-station replacements widespread flooding and agricultural losses extended evacuations and large-scale remediation

📋 Confidence Notes
Mid-level confidence: analyst notes provide detailed line-item ranges and counts but many costs are highly event-dependent and were midpoint-annualized (currency conversion assumed). Uncertainty remains in event frequency, severity and the number of at-risk stations, so figures should be refined with concrete station counts and policy choices.
