Inadequate Infrastructure Capacity State
C113
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A resource condition in which an existing facility or infrastructure system, though currently serviceable, is no longer sized to serve the demands placed on it or will soon be unable to do so, here an existing sanitary landfill whose space will be exhausted at the present rate of use in three years or soon thereafter.
Inherited from InadequateInfrastructureCapacityState · note
A resource condition of an affected community system in which existing infrastructure, though serviceable, is aged and no longer sized to serve the demands placed on it, here a water main in generally good condition but extremely old and no longer large enough for all the properties served.
Properties

"Engineers A and B jointly determine that the existing landfill space will be exhausted at present rate of use in three years, or soon thereafter."
Confidence: 0.85
State Category: resource
Persistence Type: inertial
Activation Conditions: Continued use of the existing landfill at the present rate approaches the site's remaining capacity
Termination Conditions:
  • Acceptance of a redesign providing additional capacity at higher final contours
  • Location of an alternate disposal site
Principle Transformation: The scarcity of remaining disposal capacity converts general planning duties into a concrete need to secure additional capacity or an alternate site.
