  2. Three Primary Components of Measurement System DISPOSAL REPORTING ADJUSTMENT METHOD BASE YEAR

  3. BASE YEAR • The base year is the foundation for diversion rate measurement • An accurate base year is critical for accurate diversion rate estimates • Each jurisdiction (city, county, or regional agency) is required to establish a base year • Over 250 jurisdictions updated their base years since original 1990 studies

  4. ADJUSTMENT METHOD More People? More Jobs? More Sales?

  5. ADJUSTMENT METHOD • Statute required the Board to develop an adjustment method • The Board adopted the method developed by a working group • Uses readily available data to keep costs low • The adjustment method estimates changes in waste generation due to changes in population and the economy • without having to measure both diversion and disposal in the measurement year • Saves jurisdictions time and money • Depends on anaccurate base year

  6. Adjustment Method Premise 1990 200X 25 PRC 41780.1 & 41780.2

  7. Residential vs. Non-Residential • Measurement year residential and non-residential generation amounts are estimated separately • Affected differently by changes in population and the economy. • Population is used only with the residential estimate. • The residential and non-residential estimates are added to find total measurement year generation tonnage.

  8. Adjustment Method Formula Automated tools do this for jurisdictions! • Adjustment Method Formula Steps: • (1) IM= Inflation Multiplier: CPIB/CPIR • (2) CTR= Corrected Reporting—Year Taxable Sales in Dollars: TR x IM • (3) NRAF = Non—Residential Adjustment Factor: (ER/EB + (CTR/TB)/2 • (4) RAF = Residential Adjustment Factor: (PR/PB) + NRAF/2 • (5)Estimated Reporting Year Generation: (RWGB x RAF) + (NRWGB x NRAF) • Glossary of Terminology: • 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

  9. Adjustment Factors(and Sources) • Population -(CA Department of Finance) • Employment -(CA Employment Development Department) • Taxable Sales -(CA Board of Equalization) • Inflation Index -(provided on another slide)

  10. Adjustment Factor Trends This graph shows percent change in population, employment, inflation-adjusted taxable sales, and waste disposal for California, 1991-2004 (base year = 1990). 

  11. Taxable Sales Inflation Adjustment Factors (and sources) • Inflation Adjustment Factor adjusts taxable sales amounts for inflation • Consumer Price Index (CPI) -(CA Department of Industrial Relations) • Taxable Sales Deflator Index (TSDI) -(CA State Board of Equalization) Note: Board Item in September 2005 authorized future use as alternative factor Original Factor Alternative Factor starting With 2004 rates

  12. Comparison of Inflation Indexes: CPI vs. TSDI

  13. New Employment Adjustment Factors • Employment Development Department total employment by jurisdiction • for 2005 and subsequent years is now available • May be used to calculate diversion rates when using a 2005 or later base year 

  14. Web Tools Perform Adjustment Method Calculations
