DEFINITIONS

Construction Waste: Building and site improvement materials and other solid 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.

Solid Waste: Garbage, debris, sludge, or other discharged material (except hazardous waste) including solid, liquid, semisolid, or contained gaseous materials resulting from domestic, industrial, commercial, mining, or agricultural operations.

Debris: Non-hazardous solid waste generated during the construction, demolition, or renovation of a structure which exceeds 2.5 inch (60 mm) particle size that is: a manufactured object; plant or animal matter; or natural geologic material (e.g. cobbles and boulders). A mixture of debris and other material such as soil or sludge is also subject to regulation as debris if the mixture is comprised primarily of debris by volume, based on visual inspection.

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.

Environmental Pollution and Damage: The presence of chemical, physical, or biological elements or agents which adversely affect human health or welfare; unfavorably alter ecological balances; or degrade the utility of the environment for aesthetic, cultural, or historical purposes.

Garbage: Refuse and scraps resulting from preparation, cooking, dispensing, and consumption of food.

Hazardous Materials: Any material that is regulated as a hazardous material in accordance with 49 CFR 173, requires a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1200, or which during end use, treatment, handling, storage, transportation or disposal meets or has components which meet or have the potential to meet the definition of a Hazardous Waste in accordance with 40 CFR 261.

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

Salvage: Recovery of demolition or construction waste for reuse in another facility.

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

General: Project shall minimize creation of construction, deconstruction, and demolition waste to protect and restore natural resources. Factors that contribute to waste such as over packaging, improper storage, ordering error, poor planning, breakage, mishandling, and contamination shall be minimized. A Waste Management Plan shall be developed to ensure that existing site and building materials are reused, salvaged, or recycled. Waste disposal in landfills shall be minimized.

Salvage /Recycle Requirements: Develop waste management plan that results in end-of- Project rates for salvage/recycling of 75 percent by weight of total waste generated by the Work. The following waste categories, at a minimum, shall be diverted from a landfill:

Gypsum drywall—unpainted Non-hazardous paint and paint cans Beverage containers: Aluminum, glass, and plastic containers Insulation Wiring Other mixed construction and demolition waste as appropriate

If any waste materials encountered during the deconstruction/demolition or construction phase are found to contain lead, asbestos, PCBs, (such as fluorescent lamp ballasts), or other harmful substances, they are to be handled and removed in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and requirements concerning hazardous waste.

Existing items and material to be removed during the deconstruction/demolition phase shall be reused in the construction phase of the Project. Items that cannot be reused shall be salvaged or recycled. Items considered for reuse must be in refurbishable condition and must meet the quality standards set forth in these specifications.

Approval of Contractor’s Plan will not relieve Contractor of responsibility for compliance with applicable environmental regulations.

Progress Documentation: Supplemental to the Waste Management Plan, document solid waste disposal, diversion, and cost/revenue analysis and submit completed worksheet on a monthly basis.

Recycling and Processing Facility Records: Indicate receipt and acceptance of recyclable waste by recycling and processing facilities licensed to accept them. Include manifests, weight tickets, receipts, and invoices.
