In terms of tons , this LOS standard equals to <br /> 1 . 2 net tons per capita per year . <br /> Because the current LOS is greater than this standard , the current LOS will be used in the <br /> study as the adopted LOS standard . To officially adopt the current LOS as the standard , <br /> however, the County must amend its Comprehensive Plan . <br /> Tindale -Oliver & Associates , Inc .
