where

WR is the waste stream reduction rate (in percent); and

SR is the tons of total municipal solid waste source-reduced during the report year as determined by the following formula:

where

R90 is the tons of material recovered or diverted for recycling from the total municipal solid waste stream of the report area during the base year, 1990;

D90 is the tons of total municipal solid waste incinerated, landfilled, or otherwise disposed of in the report area during the base year, 1990;

E90 is the net tons of total municipal solid waste exported during the base year, 1990; that is, the tons exported from the report area minus the tons
imported into the report area;

POP is the average population of the report area during the report year; and

POP90 is the average population of the report area during the base year, 1990.
