Population<br />

Solid Waste facilities are provided on a countywide basis. The <strong>County</strong>’s current<br />

weighted seasonal population estimate and future population projections are provided in<br />

Section II, Table II-1.<br />

Level of Service<br />

According to the information provided by the SWDD, IRC’s current level of service<br />

(LOS) is 2.2 tons of solid waste generated per capita per year. This figure includes<br />

residential and <strong>com</strong>mercial Class I waste, construction and demolition (C&D) debris, and<br />

recyclables.<br />

The following table presents the calculation of the current LOS for the total solid waste<br />

generated in IRC, broken out by the three major <strong>com</strong>ponents discussed above.<br />

The IRC Comprehensive Plan states that the countywide LOS standard for solid waste<br />

generation is 6.5 pounds per capita per day. 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 <strong>County</strong> must amend its Comprehensive Plan.<br />
