• Approximate average disposal rate of increase of 3% per year from the 2008 disposal rate <br />of 143,000 tons per year <br />• Average refuse density of 1000 pounds per cy (1000 Ib refuse disposed per cy airspace <br />consumed by refuse, daily and intermediate cover). <br />Based on the above assumptions, the North County Landfill is estimated to reach present design <br />capacity by some time in the year 2046 (Table 2) or later. <br />3.4 SOIL AVAILABILITY <br />Future total daily and intermediate cover needs as of March 2008, based on the waste quantities <br />above, are estimated to be 8 million cy (Appendix B, Table 1). This is based on the <br />approximation that daily and intermediate cover needs are 20% by volume of in-place waste, plus <br />construction of perimeter drainage facilities. This soil is available from on-site excavation. <br />Imported soil is not used at this time. <br />North County RC&SL <br />Joint Technical Document <br />Page 14 of 66 Public Works/Solid Waste <br />County of San Joaquin —Rev May 14, 2009 <br />
