435 more than twelve (12) hours.
436 4.07.5 Estimates. Pending substitution of portable scales or
437 during power outages, CONTRACTOR shall estimate the Tonnage of Solid
438 Waste delivered to the Disposal Facility by utilizing the arithmetic average of that
439 vehicle's recorded Tons of Solid Waste delivered on its preceding three (3)
440 deliveries, on the same day of the week, to the Disposal Facility, with the
441 exception that the Tonnage estimated in Roll-off Containers shall be made by
442 multiplying the estimated number of cubic yards of Solid Waste delivered per
443 Roll-off Container by 0.25 Tons per cubic yard for mixed Solid Waste and 1.0
444 Tons per cubic yard for loads of dirt, rubble, or rock material.
445 4.07.5.1 All information required by Sections 4.09.1 and

553 Dispose of Solid Waste at another disposal facility or a transfer station owned by
554 it (or by another company which is owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by
