Pape 4 <br /> DATA ANALYSIS PAST PROJECTS <br /> The figures in this section provide estimates of the cost of the <br /> Erosion Control Program to the County. This cost was then compared <br /> to project disturbed area and project duration. The intent herein <br /> is to develop a permit fee schedule which will generate enough <br /> capital to defray either 50% or 100% of the Erosion Control Program <br /> costs. Two periods were analysed. Ltay 1, 1976 to December 1, 1979, <br /> or the program since its inception, and fiscal year 1978-79, the <br /> most recent complete fiscal. year. _ <br /> Area disturbed is listed in 10,000 square foot increments as acres <br /> are no longer used in ordinance related areal criteria. Time incre- <br /> ments of six (6) months were selected. Area-time increments (used <br /> in cost analysis) were generated by multiplying the area disturbed <br /> by the project duration. <br /> May 1, 1976 to December 1, :1979 <br /> 61 - plans submitted and grading permits issued <br /> 144 - plan exemption forms issued <br /> 36 - sites where no permit obtained <br /> 432 - acres disturbed on these sites <br /> for a total o€: <br /> 6,004 area-time increments <br /> (definition) (an area-time increment is 10,000 square feet disturbed over a _ <br /> 6 month period) <br /> $83,000 Estimated budget, Soil and Erasion Pro-ram <br /> $15,000 Fines assessed <br /> $68,000 Net cost of soil and Erosion Program <br /> Fiscal.
