Total life cycle cost estimates for the two [[Infiltration trenches|infiltration trench]] configurations vary substantially with the [[Infiltration trenches|Infiltration Trench: Partial Infiltration]] design being highest ($85,288.88), followed closely by the [[Infiltration trenches|Infiltration Trench: Full Infiltration]] design being ($69,805.90).<br>
Total life cycle cost estimates for the [[Enhanced swale]] Full Infiltration design configuration is ($23,451.36), makign it one of the cheapest LID BMP options.<br>


It is notable that a sensitivity analysis was conducted in 2019 to compare construction cost estimates generated by the tool to actual costs of implemented projects.
