2. Collection Infrastructure
What we have and where are we going?
Existing Infrastructure (what we have now)
Methodology to establish minimum service levels
Estimate gaps in infrastructure (difference between exsiting and minimums)

5. Methodology for Collection Infrastructure Needs
Needs based on
Infrastructure Report findings
Updated Paint Generation Rate
Methodology has been reviewed by OR, WA and MN groups and seems like a good starting point

6. Updated Paint Sales Rate
In 2004 PSI Paint background report estimated a national average of 2.3 gallons paint sales per capita
2.3 Gallons was based on US Census Bureau data sources available in 2004
Review of more current data indicates higher average rates of paint sales

7. US Paint Sales Trend

8. US Paint Sales Data
(1) and (2) Data from US Census Bureau website

9. Recommendation for Leftover Paint Generation Rate
Calculate Leftover Paint generation rate at 10% of updated paint sales data
Means using gallons per capita/yr. instead of 0.23 gallons per capita/yr. for assumed leftover paint generation rate
PSO can use the method shown in previous slide to calculate generation rates based on future US Census Bureau data. (9 yr. avg.)

10. Methodology to assure an initial baseline collection system
Criteria for baseline collection points
A city or county with 100,000 people of more should have at least 1 collection point per 100,000 people
Any city or county with 10,000 people or more should have at least one collection point unless most of its population is within 10 miles of another collection point.
Cities or counties with less than 10,000 people and most of its population not within 10 miles of a collection point should have at least 1 mobile collection event per year.
There is a de-minimus population density which cannot support mobile collection, TBD by the PSO

11. Estimate gaps in infrastructure
Use baseline collection system infrastructure methodology
This can be done in tabular form and graphically
Examples from WA and MN

12. WA Baseline Infrastructure Map

13. WA Infrastructure Gap Analysis
Existing collection points = 51 including 3 paint stores
Needed to fill gap = 51 collection points
Total baseline = 102 collection points
Compare WA to BC
BC = 4.4 million, 103 collection points
WA Population = 6.5 million, 48% more people than BC, so 102 sites might not be sufficient for WA

14. MN Infrastructure Gap Analysis
36 Permanent, year round collection sites; 7 with <10,000 pop
22 seasonal, permanent collection sites; 13 in counties with >20,000 pop
13 counties >20,000 with events only
18 counties with <10,000 population; 6 have seasonal facilities
2 of 7 metro counties meet the 1 site/100,000 criteria
Did not do “city” analysis
3 VSQG only collection sites in metro area
