not available in year 1 which means that the facility "uld be underutilized in early years resulting in more <br />costly processing unless other regional users for the MRF can be found. <br />TABLE 1 <br />THE "TIER 1 TONNAGE MRF" <br />RECYCLED TONNAGE SOURCE <br />1997/98 <br />2002/03 <br />YEAR 10 <br />- Urban Single Family Curbside <br />3,141 <br />5,623 <br />5,765 <br />- Rural Single Family Curbside <br />539 <br />4,130 <br />4,234 <br />- Drop -off System <br />2,346 <br />4,441 <br />4,553 <br />- Multi- Family <br />942 <br />2,836 <br />2,908 <br />- Commercial <br />1,542 <br />4,070 <br />4,190 <br />TOTALS <br />8,510 <br />21,100 <br />21,650 <br />THE "TIER 2 TONNAGE MRF" <br />The "Tier 2 Tonnage MRF" models the scenario where Tier 1 Tonnage controlled by Orange County is <br />then supplemented with selected sources of additional recyclable materials from potential regional <br />partners as described below. <br />A summary of this tonnage under the Tier 2 Tonnage MRF scenario follows, showing that this approach <br />begins to assemble a larger first year "critical mass" of recyclables so that early years of the facility <br />operation are cost effective. In year 5 and year 10 the facility needs to be designed to handle 30,000 <br />ton/year, rather than the Tier 1 20,000 tons per year. <br />TABLE 2 <br />THE "TIER 2 TONNAGE MRF" <br />RECYCLED TONNAGE SOURCE <br />CURRENT <br />YEAR 5* <br />YEAR 10** <br />- Total Tier 1 Tonnage <br />8,510 <br />21,100 <br />21,650 <br />- University of North Carolina <br />2,368 <br />2,960 <br />3,700 <br />- UNC Hospitals <br />322 <br />403 <br />503 <br />- Orange County Schools <br />87 <br />109 <br />136 <br />- CH/CCS Schools <br />85 <br />106 <br />132 <br />- Chatham County Recycling <br />2,526 <br />3,158 <br />3,947 <br />- Alamance County Recycling <br />1,087 <br />1,359 <br />1,698 <br />TOTALS <br />14,985 <br />29,195 <br />31,766 <br />Notes: <br />25% increase used for all year 5 programs except Tier 1 Tonnage <br />25 %increase used for all year 5 programs except Tier 1 Tonnage <br />THE "TIER 3 TONNAGE MRF" <br />There are other potential users that are interested in the facility. If these potential customers end up <br />bringing their recyclables to this facility then the design throughput of the facility would have to be even <br />larger. This "Tier 3 Tonnage MRF" scenario combines Tier 2 Tonnage with selected sources of additional <br />recyclable materials as described below. <br />A summary of this tonnage under the Tier 3 Tonnage MRF scenario follows: <br />2/5/99 Orange Regional MRF LOG Workshop Materials 3 <br />
