Projected Maximum (from committed companies) - This category represents the amount of waste which could be expected from the Facility if all committed companies sent all of the waste to the Facility including batch dumps. The exception to this is a few committed companies who have in-house systems and will not be using ion exchange canisters. Due to the initial price structure, several companies have chosen to send dilute rinse waters to the Facility via ion exchange canisters and to treat all batch dumps in-house. Since the original contract, a price reduction has been implemented for batch dumps making it more attractive for these companies to send batch dumps to the Facility. The assumption that all batch dumps will be committed to the Facility may be valid for smaller shops currently without in-house treatment systems, however, for larger shops who are planning to combine in-house treatment with the Facility, it may be unrealistic to assume that these companies would send all of their batch dumps to the Facility under the current price structure. A similar situation exists for cyanide canisters. The end result is that the batch dump and cyanide canister estimates listed under the projected maximum category are probably high since the Facility will have to significantly reduce its per unit fees to attract the larger shops. Projected Maximum (overall) - This category represents the amount of waste which is expected at the Facility if, in addition to the wastes in the projected maximum from committed companies category, all companies in the metropolitan area send their sludges and batch dumps to the Facility. As described above, this is probably unrealistic in terms of batch dump quantities. Projected revenues from sludges, however, may be more accurate since the Facility is currently offering a competitive price for sludge disposal. The projected maximum (overall) estimates do not assume any canister users from non -committed companies. A-12
