1.03 WASTE MANAGEMENT GOALS

A. The Government has established that this Project shall generate the least amount of waste possible and that processes that ensure the generation of as little waste as possible due to error, poor planning, breakage, mishandling, contamination, or other factors shall be employed.

B. Of the inevitable waste that is generated, as many of the waste materials as economically feasible shall be recycled, reused, or salvaged. Waste disposal in landfills shall be minimized. For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:

RECYCLE: To remove a waste material from the Project site to another site for remanufacture into a new product for reuse by others.

REUSE: To reuse a construction waste material in some manner on the Project site.

SALVAGE: To remove a waste material from the Project site to another site for resale or reuse by others.

C. With regard to these goals the Contractor shall develop, for the Contracting Officer’s review, a Waste Management Plan for this Project.

1.04 WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

A. Draft Waste Management Plan: Submit to the Contracting Officer within 10 calendar days after receipt of Notice of to Proceed. The Draft Plan shall contain the following:

1. Analysis of the proposed jobsite wastes to be generated, including types and quantities.

2. Landfill options: The name of the landfill(s) where trash will be disposed of, the applicable landfill tipping fee(s), and the projected cost of disposing of all Project waste in the landfill(s).

3. Alternatives to Landfilling: A list of each material proposed to be salvaged, reused, or recycled during the course of the Project, the proposed local market for each material, and the estimated net cost savings or additional costs resulting from separating and recycling (versus landfilling) each material.

“Net” means that the following have been subtracted from the cost of separating and recycling:

(a) revenue from the sale of recycled or salvaged materials and

Section 01505, Page 2 of 3

(b) landfill tipping fees saved due to diversion of materials from the landfill. The list of these materials is to include, at minimum, the following materials:

(1) Paving materials

(2) Structural and other steel

(3) Gypsum wall board

(4) CMU block

B. Resources for Development of Waste Management Plan: The following sources may be useful in developing the Draft Waste Management Plan:
