The following is a list of references for assumptions used in <br /> determining waste quantities listed in Table 5: <br /> 1. The 1994 base annual waste quantity received figure of 140, 000 <br /> tons was taken from County Solid Waste Division records. This <br /> figure is the amount of waste landfilled after a 12% reduction <br /> due to current recycling practices at the Lovelace Transfer <br /> Station and other waste diversion activities in the County <br /> which impact the Foothill site's waste stream. <br /> 2 . The 1995 figure of 210, 000 tons was determined by adding the <br /> 1994 figures for the Foothill Sanitary Landfill and the Corral <br /> Hollow Sanitary Landfill, and then increasing that sum by an <br /> assumed 5% annual increase in waste received. <br /> 3 . All figures have been rounded to the nearest 1, 000 tons. <br /> 4. For the years 1995 through 1999, an additional 13% reduction <br /> is reflected in the "Annual Waste Quantity Landfilled" column. <br /> This meets the 25% reduction goal established by AB 939. <br /> 5. For the years 2000 and beyond, waste quantities were reduced <br /> an additional 25% in the "Annual Waste Quantity Landfilled" <br /> column to reflect AB 939 waste diversion goals. <br /> 6. The site's current permitted capacity as determined by Solid <br /> Waste Division calculations based on the site's Preliminary <br /> Closure Plan is 56, 163 ,800 tons. This was determined by <br /> multiplying the airspace available (102 , 116, 000 cubic yards) <br /> by a waste density of 1100 pounds per cubic yard (0.55 <br /> tons/c.y. ) . <br /> 20 <br />
