Based on this unit contribution rate, the annual per capita solid waste generation is estimated to <br />be 2,372 5 4,400 pounds. Current landfill practices result in compaction densities of 1,200 <br />lb/cubic yard; thus, the annual volume per capita is 1.97 3.67 cubic yards. This figure is the <br />principal factor in projecting landfill needs and in creating level -of -service standards. <br />In order to determine the future landfill capacity needed to satisfy the county's projected future <br />population, a level of service standard must be established. This level of service standard is an <br />indicator of the degree of service provided by, or proposed to be provided by, a solid waste <br />facility based on the operational characteristics of the facility. The level of service standard for <br />the Indian River County landfill is based on a unit contribution rate of 6.5 pounds per capita per <br />day 2.2 tons per capita for permanent population plus weighted seasonal population per year, or <br />1.97 3.67 cubic yards per capita per year of solid waste generation. <br />Page 7 of the Solid Waste Sub -Element <br />Supplement # Ordinance # 2005 <br />Adopted 2005 Exhibit B <br />
