Part I. <br />GEOGRAPHIC AND SOLID WASTE <br /> STREAM EVALUATION <br /> <br />Geographic Area <br />This solid waste management plan covers Cabarrus County and three of its <br />four incorporated municipalities. A portion of the City of Kannapolis is in <br />Rowan County but all waste is currently handled at the Cabarrus County <br />landfill. <br /> <br />Table 1. Estimated Population, July 1996 <br /> <br />I <br />MUNICIPALITIES & COUNTY I POPULATION <br />Cabarrus County 115,108 <br />City of Kannapolis 25,610 <br />City of Concord 35,468 <br />Town of Mount Pleasant 1,143 <br />Town of Harrisburg 2,192 <br /> <br />Note:Municipality population numbers based on 1995 figures. <br /> <br />According to projections made by the North Carolina Office of Planning, State <br />Demographer's Office, Cabarrus County is expecting a steady growth of <br />approximately 1.5% annually, for a total projected population of 137,212 over <br />the 10 year plan period. <br /> <br />Waste Stream Evaluation <br />In this plan, residential waste refers to waste generated by households <br />(individual and multifamily dwellings). The term non-residential refers to <br />waste generated from commercial, industrial, and institutional activities. <br />Construction and demolition waste is generated from construction activities <br />and is separated from non-residential waste in this plan because it will be <br />disposed in a different facility than most non-residential waste. <br /> <br />Cabarrus County and its municipalities disposed of approximately 99,326 tons <br />of waste in FY 1995-96, 38,395 tons were disposed of in the County landfill and <br />60,931 were taken out of the County for disposal at other facilities. An estimate <br />of the waste disposed by sector is shown in Table 2. These calc-lations are <br />based on tonnages provided by county staff. <br /> <br />CDM Camp Dresser & McKee <br /> <br />Part I. - 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
