DEFINITIONS

Construction Waste: Building and site improvement materials and other waste resulting from construction, remodeling, renovation, or repair operations. Construction waste includes packaging.

Demolition Waste: Building and site improvement materials resulting from demolition or selective demolition operations.

Disposal: Removal off-site of demolition and construction waste and subsequent sale, recycling, reuse, or deposit in landfill or incinerator acceptable to authorities having jurisdiction.

Recycle: Recovery of demolition or construction waste for subsequent processing in preparation for reuse.

Salvage: Recovery of demolition or construction waste and subsequent sale or reuse in another facility.

Salvage and Reuse: Recovery of demolition or construction waste and subsequent incorporation into the Work.

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS [Coordinate with your regional and national sustainability officer as to the national and local goals in accordance with Executive Order 13514. By FY 2015, GSA will divert at least 50% of its non-hazardous solid waste, excluding construction and demolition (C&D) debris. Executive Order 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance, establishes this goal for all Federal agencies. GSA will meet this goal by diverting 10% of its non-hazardous, non-C&D waste in FY 2011 and increasing diversion by 10% in each subsequent year, through FY 2015. By FY 2015, GSA will divert at least 50% of its C&D debris. This goal is also established by E.O. 13514. GSA will achieve this goal by estimating current diversion rates, identifying strategies and practices to increase diversion rates, and changing current C&D waste management practices ] GSA goal of 100 percent salvage/recycling is required on projects where this goal is attainable.

General: Achieve end-of-Project rates for salvage/recycling of 100 [50] percent minimum by weight of total waste generated by the Work unless additional rates are indicated. Practice efficient waste management in the use of materials in the course of the Work. Use all reasonable means to divert construction and demolition waste from landfills and incinerators. Facilitate recycling and salvage of materials.

Revise first two subparagraphs below to correspond to goals and mandatory minimums for individual projects. Select goal based upon project design and regional availability of salvage/recycling facilities. Federal projects must achieve mandatory minimum of 50 percent, excluding soil, where markets or onsite recycling opportunities exist.

Salvage/recycling goal is [100] [Insert number] percent.

Mandatory minimum salvage/recycling requirement is 50 percent.

First option in subparagraph below is requirement for LEED certification;
