This request must include data that validates the density of the <br />material. <br />B. Equivalent rate structure: A facility may request that the Department approve <br />an equivalent rate structure for the facility that is based upon the population of <br />the defined service area for the facility. The service area population shall be <br />based upon official Colorado demographic figures that are established under <br />the most recent national census. Each facility using an equivalent rate <br />structure must update its demographic data every five years to ensure that its <br />service area population remains subject to the equivalent rate structure. <br />1. The equivalent rate structure will only be available to facilities that <br />have a service area population of no more than 3500 people. All other <br />facilities must utilize the fee structure set forth in § 25 -16- 104.5, C.R.S. <br />2. A facility must request an equivalent rate structure in writing. The <br />facility shall submit the applicable population data, and a map and /or <br />description of the service area to the Department as part of its request. <br />40 3.
