2022 Reasonable Cost Guideline (RCG) Update
On June 17, 2022, the Petroleum Storage Tank Committee approved an average 15.6% increase to the Reasonable Cost Guideline (RCG) rates for labor (Task Labor Codes 5.1 through 5.9) and an increase to associated labor-based rates (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 7.1, and 7.2). The increases align with Consumer Price Index (CPI or inflation) data for the Denver metro area since 2019 as published by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. The new rates are effective July 1, 2022:

These rates can be used for Corrective Action Plan and Economic Feasibility Summary preparation starting July 1, 2022, and they can be incorporated into reimbursement requests for work performed after July 1, 2022.
The new rates are reflected on the “TLC items” worksheet of the revised Corrective Action Plan (CAP) report template on the Remediation Report Formats web page, and in the RCG Rates on the Remediation Guidance Documents web page.
The CAP/EFS report format, CAP and EFS instructions, and RCG Guidance Document provided on our Remediation Report Formats web page have been updated to reflect the 2022 rates.
