t <br />e <br />OVERVIEW OF THE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM <br />2.6.2.2 Landfill Life <br />In order to estimate remaining landfill life, future waste tonnage had to be projected and <br />converted to volume. Waste tonnage was projected based on population projections from <br />the University of Florida, BEBR, assuming that future per capita waste production remains <br />constant at the FY 1994-95 rate (0.37 tons per capita per year). As indicated in Tables 2-6 <br />and 2-7, waste density within the C&D landfill has been approximately 1,275 lbs/cy based <br />on volume survey and waste disposal information. In order to project future waste volume, <br />a density of 1,100 lbs/cy has been used. A 5 percent allowance has been factored into the <br />projections to account for the volume loss due to application of weekly cover. <br />Based on population projections and the FY 1995 landfilled tonnage, the C&D landfill waste <br />disposal rate was 0.37 tons per person per year. Using this disposal rate and the remaining <br />disposal capacity of 1,026,000 cubic yards, the C&D landfill had approximately 143 months <br />of remaining capacity as of October 1,1995. <br />ONvi1000847.00C <br />2.19 <br />
