==Life Cycle Costs==
Below are capital and life cycle cost estimates for the two [[Infiltration trenches|infiltration trench]] configurations over 25- and 50-year time periods. The estimates of maintenance and rehabilitation (life cycle) costs represent net present values. Operation and maintenance costs are predicted to represent 38% of total life cycle costs over the 25-year evaluation period, and increase to 51% of total life cycle costs over the 50-year period, due to increased levels of litter removal, replacement of filter cloth and disposal of collected sediment (every 4 - 8 years), cleaning out the catchbasin and the [[Oil and Grit Separator|Oil and Grit Separator/Hydrodynamic Separator]] annually, as well as flushing the internal pipes every 10 years.  
Below are capital and life cycle cost estimates for the two [[Infiltration chambers|infiltration chamber]] configurations over 25- and 50-year time periods. The estimates of maintenance and rehabilitation (life cycle) costs represent net present values. Operation and maintenance costs are predicted to represent 36% of total life cycle costs over the 25-year evaluation period, and increase to 48% of total life cycle costs over the 50-year period, due to increased levels of litter removal, clean out and disposal of collected sediment from the Isolated chamber row (every 4 - 8 years), cleaning out the catchbasin and the [[Oil and Grit Separator|Oil and Grit Separator/Hydrodynamic Separator]] annually.

==Cost Summary Tables==
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 two [[Infiltration chambers|infiltration chamber]] configurations are the exact same with the total being ($60,831.76).<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.
