Service Units: Roadway VMT, park EDUs, fire/EMS EDUs, police EDUs, solid waste EDUs, or wastewater SFEs. Single-Family Equivalent (SFE): The wastewater demand associated with a typical single-family detached unit. Solid Waste Facilities: Land, buildings, vehicles and capital equipment owned by the County and used for providing solid waste services to self-haul residential customers, including landfill improvements and equipment, transfer stations and equipment, and vehicles. Solid Waste System Improvements: Capital improvements that result in a net expansion of the capacity of the solid waste facilities to serve new development. Remodeling, replacement or maintenance of existing equipment or facilities do not constitute solid waste system improvements, except to the extent that they have the net effect of adding capacity. System Improvements: Major roadway system improvements, park system improvements fire/EMS system improvements, police system improvements, solid waste system improvements or wastewater system improvements.

Vehicle-Miles of Capacity (VMC): The maximum number of vehicles that can be accommodated on a roadway times the length of the roadway in miles.

Remodeling, replacement or maintenance of existing equipment or facilities do not constitute wastewater system improvements, except to the extent that they add capacity.
