Section 4. <br /> Economic Impact on the City of Santa Ana <br /> of the Proposed Materials Recovery Facility <br /> Great Western Reclamation proposes to build a Materials Recovery Facility <br /> (hereafter referred to as "the MRF Project") in Santa Ana when a new five year contract <br /> is granted.

The total yearly expected wage and salary <br /> expenditures connected with the MRF Project is therefore estimated to be $3,332,400 as <br /> shown in column 4 of Table 9. <br /> The 1992 actual data relating to the Municipal Solid Waste Collecting and Recycling <br /> Contract indicated that 59 percent of hourly employees and 29 percent of salaried <br /> employees reside in the City of Santa Ana.

These expenditures are expected to be over $1.92 million in 1994. The <br /> 16 <br />
