The current projected <br />capacity and/or lifespan of Segment 3 Cells 1-8 is through the year 2074. This lifespan is contingent upon rigorous <br />recycling and recycling education as well as the unknown factors of population growth and economics. <br />Policy 1.2: New development within the Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) service area shall <br />continue to be approved only when capacity is available at the active cellsegment of the landfill. If the active cellsegment <br />of the landfill is at 980% of its capacity and a new segment is not ready, additional development shall not be permitted. <br />Policy 1.3: The following level of service standards are hereby adopted, and shall be used as the basis for determining <br />the availability of facility capacity and the demand generated by new development: <br />21.4 tons per capita equivalent residential unit. for permanent population plus weighted seasonal population per year or 4 <br />cubic yards per permanent population plus weighted seasonal population per year <br />PAGE 48
