In the Elk Valley there is a well-documented case of Se pollution and the monetized damage to the westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) population in the Elk River watershed was calculated. These results indicate the damage to be between ~$7.5 million and ~$10.5 million in the eight year period from 2006 to 2014. In this document three bioreactors designed to reduce Se were analysed in terms of capital and operation/maintenance costs, energy requirements to heat influent, and finally nutrient requirements to support biomass. These bioreactors are: Advanced Biological Metals removal® (ABMet®), the fluidized bed reactor (FBR), and finally the electro-biochemical reactor (EBR). The results indicate that utilizing full-scale EBR Se treatment has the potential to save ~$12 million in capital costs, ~$2.4 million in O&M costs, and an additional ~$2.36 million to ~$6.83 million in energy and nutrients alone in a ten year period.
