One-time setup and investigation costs are modest but dominated by a low-probability emergency containment contingency and a legal retainer, resulting in ~ $261k one-time. Ongoing annual costs are modest (~ $53k/year) driven primarily by part-time personnel, stipends/medical monitoring, travel, and small local contracts.
