I seem to remember George mentioning a figure of around $150K for clearing the wreck. But keep in mind that does not include the cost of repairing the damage to 484, which is only now being done. That's probably another $100K. The wreck of the 484 was costly, and had the 484 rolled (which it was very close to doing)it would have been substantially more costly and perhaps fatal to the crew.
