Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 18797.3 - Adjustment Method Calculation

(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.

(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.

(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

(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) Labor force employment for calculating the non-residential adjustment factor and the residential adjustment factor; or

(2) Industry employment for calculating the non-residential adjustment factor and the residential adjustment factor, or

(3) Industry employment for calculating the non-residential adjustment factor and labor force employment for calculating the residential adjustment factor.

(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

(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
