10 <br />The Orange County SWCC survey used rigorous statistical methods and accepted weighting and <br />analysis procedures to derive estimates of SWCC usage by customers residing inside and <br />outside town limits. In addition, it provided useful information about recycling habits and <br />preferences of Orange County residents. While these results accurately portray the nature of <br />SWCC usage during the January 22 — February 3, 2015 data collection period, readers are <br />cautioned that the survey provides a snapshot into this single period of time and should not be <br />treated as a forecast for the future. Many factors both within the SWCCs themselves and in the <br />environment they operate in could change usage patterns over time, such as influx and <br />geolocation of new residents and developments, changes to curbside recycling programs, <br />changes to operating hours or services available at the SWCCs, seasonal variations, or physical <br />improvements /modernization of the SWCC(s), to name just a few. Nonetheless, the "snapshot <br />in time" provided by this survey provides useful information to the County and the public as <br />they consider how future solid waste management plans may both impact and be impacted by <br />the SWCCs. <br />�'3 <br />
