C> i be taken after sorting for laboratory analysis. Analysis of moisture content is essential for materials which tend to absorb moisture, because the weight of the moisture will bias the representative percentages by weight of each material category in the solid waste stream. Subtask 4.4 Sin le-Fam's1 Residential Recovered Materials Because of the comprehensiveness of the County's prior waste composition study, the G&R project team will focus on updating the characterization of recoverable materials from single-family residences. This objective can be accomplished by targeting materials at the point of disposal, as summarized in Subtask 4.3. Approximately 14 samples of single-family residential waste will be sorted for each sorting event. Subtask 4.5 Multi -Family Residences, Manufactured Homes and RV Parks Because the populations of multi -family residences, manufactured homes, and RV parks tend to fluctuate seasonally, the G&R project team will conduct waste stream analyses for these segments of the population, particularly changes in recoverable materials in the waste stream. Multi -family residences, such as apartments and condominiums, and RV parks generally use centrally -located dumpsicrs for waste disposal. Therefore, solid waste collection vehicles that collect the waste from these areas will be targeted at the landfill for sampling and sorting in the same manner as summarized in Subtask 4.3. The composition of waste from residents of manufactured homes can be estimated as a percentage of the residential waste stream and targeted specifically on the basis of waste hauling schedules and interviews with truck drivers. Each sorting event will target at least G samples (total) from multi -family residences. RV parks, and manufactured homes. Subtask 4.6 C&D Materials A separate sorting event will be conducted at the C&D landfill to target approximately G samples of C&D material. '['he event will be conducted as summarized in Subtask 4.3, however, materials will be sorted into fewer categories and fewer sorters (estimate 3) will be needed although heavy equipment may be required. Subtask 4.7 Lily and County Generation Rates G&R and County staff will meet with city of Vero Beach representatives to discuss potential differences in generation rates between City and County customers that are assessed by County rate ordinances. It is anticipated that two (2) meetings will be held with City representatives to define their issues and provide the City with guidelines on information needed to establish any changes to the assessment. From the information provided by the City and the data collected during the studies in the Master Plan update, G&R will provide the County an opinion letter regarding the validity of any change of assessment for City of Vero Beach customers.
