- M M <br />increase the assessment on a non -residentially assessed <br />parcel through evaluation of the Waste Generation Rate <br />(WGU) applied to the parcel as outlined under the Use <br />Codes herein. Such evaluation may be performed by the <br />SWDD through execution of a wastestream survey based on <br />the following information: <br />1. Determination by multiplying the size of <br />container, number of containers, number of collections <br />of the container/s and a standard base weight of 125 <br />lbs. per cubic yard. This 125 lbs. per cubic yard takes <br />into account that the containers are, on the average, <br />approximately 75% full. The base weight of 125 lbs. per <br />cubic yard will also be evaluated on a regular basis to <br />provide an equitable application of the standard base <br />weight. <br />2. Determination by actual weights of solid waste <br />originating from a source as may be tracked through the <br />SWDD's computerized wastestream tracking system. <br />3. Determination by the performance of a <br />wastestream survey wherein waste originating from a <br />source is tracked and weighed during an audit period. <br />This may be performed by the District or through the <br />services of its franchised haulers or contracted <br />professional engineers. <br />4. The SWDD may also utilize the survey data <br />provided by property owner/s of non-residential parcels <br />providing the property owner/s perform the survey <br />utilizing a scientifically sound method acceptable to <br />SWDD staff. <br />Waste generation rate changes may be implemented on a <br />specific non-residential parcel wherein a deviation of <br />over 30% above or below the waste generation rates <br />provided herein is determined to occur for that parcel. <br />Where a deviation in generation rate exceeding 30% has <br />been determined to occur within an overall Use Code or a <br />portion thereof the SWDD may change the overall -rate for <br />the entire Use Code or that portion thereof. The survey <br />of waste generation rates will take into account both <br />the actual waste disposed of and the portion of the <br />wastestream that is recycled. Where a change in the <br />waste generation rate (WGU's) is determined to' be <br />appropriate the change will be based on the results of <br />the actual data that is considered a more reasonably <br />accurate representation of the actual average waste <br />generation of the parcel/s, or the overall Use Code or <br />portion thereof. <br />One of the attached studies outlines estimated operational costs for <br />processing_ and disposing of various components of the waste streA. <br />Based on the results of this study and our experience and problems in <br />processing certain components of the waste stream it is recommended <br />that the gate/tipping fees be increased as out lined in Exhibit III. <br />Exhibit IV is the present tipping fee schedule and is provided for a <br />comparison of the current rates and the proposed rates. <br />MAY 22, 1995 9 BOOK 95 PACE 150 <br />
