Ib. The quantity and composition of solid waste within the proposed waste <br />facility's service area shal' be sufficient to enable economic feasibility <br />of the facility. <br />CAPACITY <br />Waste facility capacity iroacts w,.:te management service conditions in the <br />region. Service costs, site noera`.ions and alternative management methods are <br />affected by the amount and type of ,^-rating system capacity. <br />Facility capacities that exceed the requirements of the waste reduction/ <br />resource recovery and land disposal development programs in Part 4 of the guide <br />chapter may prevent or constrain the development of other preferred waste <br />management methods. For instance, excess land disposal capacity may perpetuate <br />commitment to a less preferred management practice. Limitations on maximum <br />capacity will, therefore, be necessary. <br />Waste facility capacity must ensure continuous, efficient service. Some degree <br />of redundancy is needed to ensure the facility can handle seasonal and other <br />variations in waste flow. In addition, waste processing facilities must have <br />sufficient capacity to meet the requirements of energy and/or materials market. <br />Objectives <br />2a. Ensure that waste facility capacities meet efficient, economical service <br />requirements. <br />2b. Ensure that waste facility capacities promote adaptable systems of waste <br />management and orderly transition to waste reduction and resource recovery. <br />Criteria <br />2a. Proposed waste facility capacities shall be consistent with the waste <br />reduction/resource recovery and land disposal development schedules in Part <br />4 of the guide chapter. Limits may be placed on facility capacities in <br />accordance with the timing and location requirements of the development <br />schedules. (For purpose of this criterion, capacities refers to facility <br />operating and design capacity.) <br />2b. Proposed waste facility capacities shall accommodate the projected market <br />demand for secondary materials and/or energy and/or the projected waste <br />supply from the areas they serve. Limits on capacities may be placed in <br />order to stage facility development with projected market demand and/or <br />supplies. (For purpose of this criterion, demand should be defined as "tne <br />quantity of goods that buyers will take at a particular price.") <br />PROCESSING TECHNIQUES <br />Major waste facilities should provide routine management of continually gener- <br />ated solid waste. These facilities must be reliable. They must operate with <br />minimum risk to energy and recovered materials markets and to solid waste <br />generators and haulers. However, some waste processing techniques have had <br />recurring problems that have led to increased costs and inconsistent service. <br />These include: <br />
