2 <br />1. DEMOGRAPHICS: To assess the generation, recycling and disposal rates of an area, it is <br />necessary to have population data. This information is available from many sources (e.g., the <br />State Data Book, County Business Patterns, or the State Office of Finance and Management). <br />1.1 Population <br />1.1.1 What is the total population of your County/City? <br /> YR.1 46,641 YR.3 47,269 YR.6 49,151 <br />1.1.2 For counties, what is the population of the area under your jurisdiction? (Exclude <br />cities choosing to develop their own solid waste management system.) <br /> <br />YR.1 46,641 YR.3 47,269 YR.6 49,151 <br /> <br />1.2 References and Assumptions <br />Population growth is based on intermediate forecasts from the Washington State Office <br />of Financial Management and the U.S. Census Bureau, starting with the official estimate <br />for 2018 (the last complete year) and then projecting years 1 through 6 using the <br />intermediate growth series (applying varied growth by period: 0.99% growth through <br />2020 and 1.05% through 2025). <br />2. WASTE STREAM GENERATION: The following questions ask for total tons “recycled” <br />and total tons “disposed”. Total tons disposed are those tons disposed of at a landfill, <br />incinerator, transfer station or any other form of disposal you may be using. If other, please <br />identify. <br />2.1 Tonnage Recycled <br />2.1.1 Please provide the total tonnage recycled in the base year, and projections for years <br />three and six. <br /> YR.1 4,440 YR.3 4,529 YR.6 4,666 <br />2.2 Tonnage Disposed <br />2.2.1 Please provide the total tonnage disposed in the base year, and projections for years <br />three and six. <br /> YR.1 36,424 YR.3 37,156 YR.6 38,282 <br />2.3 References and Assumptions <br />Recycling and waste disposal projections assume a 1.0% percent annual population <br />growth rate (based on the annualized growth rate between years 2020 through 2040) <br />applied to recorded 2017 tonnages. <br />3. SYSTEM COMPONENT COSTS: This section asks questions specifically related to the <br />types of programs currently in use and those recommended to be started. For each <br />component (i.e., waste reduction, landfill, composting, etc.) please describe the anticipated <br />costs of the program(s), the assumptions used in estimating the costs and the funding
