Quarry Rd SWCC was intended to be sampled at a 1 in 5 rate on Sunday, but data collectors <br />mistakenly implemented a 1 in 15 procedure. Thus, fewer surveys were collected for Bradshaw <br />Quarry Rd on that date than were expected and we were required to use the higher weight for <br />that date /site. <br />Weight calculation and data analysis were conducted in SAS Version 9.3. <br />. 5 I&E <br />All results are weighted as described above. Appendix B provides 95% confidence intervals for <br />each estimate. Here we present point estimates. <br />IN /OUT OF TOWN LIMITS <br />Across all days and sites, 89% of SWCC uses during the data collection period were made by <br />customers who live outside town limits and 11% by customers residing within town limits. <br />Usage by individual SWCC is shown in Figure 1. Four of the sites were used almost exclusively <br />by residents outside town limits. Only the Eubanks Road site received more than 5% of its uses <br />by customers residing inside town limits. <br />100 <br />90 <br />80 <br />70 <br />60 <br />50 <br />40 <br />30 <br />20 <br />10 <br />0 <br />Figure 1.
