1. (a) If a jurisdiction is a region, then the tonnage amounts, and adjustment factor number for all cities and unincorporated counties included in the region's regional agreement, shall be summed before calculating the single adjustment for the region's base-year generation.
2. (b) Before calculating the adjustment, a jurisdiction shall separate the base-year generation tonnage by source into residential and non-residential amounts. If a jurisdiction cannot derive the actual residential and non-residential amounts from its records, the jurisdiction may make a best estimate of how much of their base-year generation is from residential sources and how much is from non-residential sources.

3. (c) When calculating the values in subdivision (e) of this section, and calculating the adjusted base-year generation tonnage in subdivision (f) of this section, a jurisdiction shall use the values defined below:

   RWGB

   =

   Base-Year Residential Waste Generation in Tons

   NRWGB

   =

   Base-Year Non-Residential Waste Generation in Tons

   PR

   =

   Reporting-Year Population in Persons

   PB

   =

   Base-Year Population in Persons

   ERLF

   =

   Reporting-Year Labor Force Employment in Jobs

   ERIN

   =

   Reporting-Year Industry Employment in Jobs

   EBLF

   =

   Base-Year Labor Force Employment in Jobs

   EBIN

   =

   Base-Year Industry Employment in Jobs

   TR

   =

   Reporting-Year Taxable Sales in Dollars

   TB

   =

   Base-Year Taxable Sales in Dollars

   CPIR

   =

   Reporting-Year Consumer Price Index

   CPIB

   =

   Base-Year Consumer Price Index

   For example, in the hypothetical jurisdiction of “Surfcity”:

   RWGB

   =

   15,000 tons

   NRWGB

   =

   20,000 tons

   PR

   =

   12,000 persons

   PB

   =

   10,000 persons

   ERLF

   =

   6,000 jobs

   EBLF

   =

   5,500 jobs

   TR

   =

   3,100,000 dollars

   TB

   =

   3,000,000 dollars

   CPIR

   =

   154.0

   CPIB

   =

   130.7

4. (d) Before calculating values other than those described in section 18797.2(b) for the equations in subdivision (e) of this section, a jurisdiction shall select one of three countywide employment factor number sets:

   1. (1) Labor force employment for calculating the non-residential adjustment factor and the residential adjustment factor; or
   2. (2) Industry employment for calculating the non-residential adjustment factor and the residential adjustment factor, or
   3. (3) Industry employment for calculating the non-residential adjustment factor and labor force employment for calculating the residential adjustment factor.

5. (e) Before performing the adjustment calculation, a jurisdiction shall calculate values for the four equations below:

   (1)

   IM

   =

   Inflation Multiplier:

   CPI_B

   CPI_R

   Example:

   IM

   =

   130.7

   154.0

   =

   0.8487

   (2)

   CT_R

   =

   Corrected Reporting-Year Taxable Sales in Dollars:

   TR x IM

   Example:

   CT_R

   =

   3,100,000 x 0.8487

   =

   2,630,970

   (3)

   NRAF =

   Non-Residential Adjustment Factor:

   (ER / EB) + (CT_R / TB)

   2

   Example 3a:

   Use Labor Force Employment in NRAF

   NRAF_LF =

   (6,000/5,500) + (2,630,970/3,000,000)

   2

   =

   0.984

   Example 3b:

   Use Industry Employment in NRAF

   NRAF_IN =

   (4,500/3,950) + (2,630,970/3,000,000)

   2

   =

   1.008

   (4)

   RAF =

   Residential Adjustment Factor:

   (PR / PB) + NRAF

   2

   Example 4a:

   Use NRAFLF

   RAF_LF =

   (12,000/10,000) + 0.984

   2

   =

   1.092

   Example 4b:

   Use NRAF_IN

   RAF_IN =

   (12,000/10,000) + 1.008

   2

   =

   1.104

6. (f) Using the variables defined in subdivisions (c) and (e) of this section, a jurisdiction shall calculate the adjusted base-year generation tonnage using the equation below:

   ERYG

   =

   Estimated Reporting-Year Generation:

   (RWG_B x RAF) + (NRWGB x NRAF)

   Example 1:

   Use RAFLF and NRAFLF

   ERYG

   =

   (RWG_B x RAF_LF) + (NRWG_B x NRAF_LF)

   =

   (15,000 x 1.092) + (20,000 x 0.984)

   =

   36,060 tons

   Example 2:

   Use RAFIN and NRAFIN

   ERYG

   =

   (RWG_B x RAF_IN) + (NRWG_B x NRAF_IN)

   =

   (15,000 x 1.104) + (20,000 x 1.008)

   =

   36,720 tons

   Example 3:

   Use RAF_LF and NRAF_IN

   ERYG

   =

   (RWGB x RAFLF) + (NRWGB x NRAFIN)

   =

   (15,000 x 1.092) + (20,000 x 1.008)

   =

   36,540 tons
