The existing location has a great potential for becoming a model solid waste center; 2. The projected County wasteloading is estimated to be 37 tons per day in 1975, rising to 150 tons per day in 1990, assuming a maximum population growth rate not to exceed 7% per annum and a resultant equivalent daily population of 28,250 people or 157 tons per day in 1990, whichever is less; 3. The County has obtained a comprehensive, well analyzed management and operational plan for the solid waste center from Briscoe-Maphis, Inc., in order to p permit the County through good management practices to utilize said solid waste center site for twenty years in order to accomodate the aforesaid waste loading; 4. The adoption of the model management and system practices recommended in said report (as herein modified) will permit such solid waste loading, including appropriate margins for error to be eccomodated in a sound fashion; 5. Section 36-23-16, C.R.S.1963, as amended, authorizes counties to finance such operation by ad valorem property taxation of/and by user service charges; RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Page 2 6.
