Contractors may request a waiver of this requirement through the KO/COR and DGR, if using and/or storing very small quantities of hazardous materials.

4.2.9 Competency Training for Contractor Personnel. Contractor shall not allow personnel to perform any activities and/or tasks on the installation without proper and adequate qualifications or job competency training.

The submittal shall include the date of disposal/recycling, the disposal/recycling facility, the types of material disposed/recycled and the quantities of materials disposed/recycled by weight.

- Contractor shall submit a recycling and solid waste minimization plan. The plan shall detail the Contractor's actions to comply with and to participate in Federal, State, Regional, and local government sponsored recycling programs to reduce the volume of solid waste at the source. It is the goal to recycle and/or divert 50% of the total waste stream from this project. Prior to any work, the Contractor shall submit a preliminary Non-Hazardous Construction/Demolition Debris Disposal/Diversion/Recycling Submittal form. The KO/COR will provide the necessary form. The form shall be annotated to depict the various non-hazardous waste streams expected during the work and the anticipated recycle and/or diversion rate.

- Prior to final payment, the Contractor shall submit a final Non-Hazardous Construction/Demolition Debris Disposal/Diversion/Recycling Submittal form. Form shall be annotated to depict the actual quantities for the various non-hazardous waste streams generated during the work and the final recycle and/or diversion rates. Copies of all certified weigh-bills shall also be provided for each load of material that was disposed, diverted, or recycled.
