Board Policy 4.08 Page 1 of 3
Purpose
The goal of the Construction and Demolition Waste Diversion (C&D WD) Policy is to establish capital project guidelines for contracted construction and demolition projects to divert waste away from landfills. Minimally, the goal for all contracted construction and demolition projects shall be to divert 100% of all recyclable materials.
Existing Policy The District’s “Policies Regarding Improvements on District Lands”, last amended in 2007, requires preliminary Use and Management (U&M) Plans to consider the “cost and practicality of salvaging materials being removed” when the U&M plan proposes demolition.
Policy For every contracted District Capital construction or demolition project, the following waste diversion guidelines shall be followed:
1. SURVEYS
Surveys shall be completed prior to the commencement of the project to identify existing conditions. Minimally these shall include:
a. Hazardous Materials Surveys – to identify all hazardous materials.
b. Historic Resource Evaluation – to evaluate potential historical significance on structures over 50 years old or containing known historical resources.
c. Bat / Biological Surveys - to determine presence of bat roosting, bird nesting, woodrat nesting or any other wildlife. Also to determine the presence of any sensitive habitat or wildlife corridors in the area of the proposed project work.
d. Plant Surveys – confirm whether the site has any trees or other plant communities that need to be protected. Also, identify any invasive species that might be present in the project area to ensure that project work does not further spread the invasive species around or off the site, and keep invasive species separated from the plant materials that are being recycled as mulch.

Board Policy 4.08 (b) Definitions, Materials Identification & Waste Diversion Strategies
1. Definitions
Waste Diversion The practice of directing waste away from landfills and into re-use, recycle or salvage opportunities.
Construction Waste Building and site improvement materials and other solid waste resulting from construction, remodeling, renovation, or repair operations. Construction waste includes (but is not limited to) wood, concrete, drywall, masonry, roofing, siding, structural metal, wire, insulation, asphalt, and packaging materials.
Demolition Waste Building and site improvement materials resulting from demolition operations.
Hazardous Material 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, has components which meet, or have the potential to meet the definition of a Hazardous Waste in accordance with 40 CFR 261.
Debris Non-hazardous solid waste generated during the construction, demolition, or renovation of a structure that exceeds 2.5 inch (60 mm) particle size and 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 are also subject to regulation as debris if the mixture is comprised primarily of debris by volume, based on visual inspection.
Inert solids
Asphalt, concrete, rock, stone, brick, sand, soil and fines.
Remainder/Composite Inerts and Other
Inerts and other material that cannot be put in any other type. This type may include items from different types combined, which would be very hard to separate. Examples include brick, ceramics, tiles, toilets, sinks, and fiberglass insulation.
This type may also include demolition debris that is a mixture of items such as plate glass, wood, tiles, gypsum board, and aluminum scrap.
Remainder/Composite Plastic
Materials that are made mostly of plastic but combined with other materials. These items are usually recognized by their optical opacity. Examples include auto parts made of plastic attached to metal, plastic drinking straws, foam drinking cups, produce trays, foam packing blocks, packing peanuts, cookie trays found in cookie packages, plastic strapping, foam plates/bowls, and new Formica, vinyl, or linoleum.
Deconstruction The process of careful demolition to remove materials in a manner that they remain intact for the purpose of salvaging the materials.
Salvage The recovery of intact demolition or construction materials for the purpose of reuse or storage for later sale or reuse in another facility.
Recycle
Recovery of demolition or construction waste for subsequent processing (for example, grinding or melting) in preparation for re-use.
Re-Use The process of taking demolished materials and re-using (often in the same place of demolition) with minimal intervening processing. For example, concrete being broken up and buried on site as fill or wood being ground up and used as mulch.
Re-Purpose Removing demolition or construction waste and re-purposing for another use without any intervening processing. For example, wood siding being re-purposed as planter boxes.
Source (On-site) Waste Segregation The process of segregating demolition or construction waste materials on site (i.e: concrete, bare drywall, wood, steel) for offhaul to recycling facilities.
Comingled Waste Demolition or construction waste that is mixed together and brought to the recycling facility.
2. Construction & demolition waste materials typically diverted
Much of the waste materials derived through demolition or construction can be diverted from the landfill. Specific materials include:
Inert Materials Concrete, brick, stone, rock, asphalt paving, sand from demolished building slabs, sidewalks, walls, etc.
Metals
Wood materials Any and all dimensional lumber, fencing or construction wood that are not chemically treated, creosoted, pressure treated, contaminated or painted.
Vegetative materials Trees, tree parts, shrubs, stumps, logs, brush or any other type of plants that are cleared from a site for construction or other use.
Roofing materials Wood shingles and shakes as well as asphalt shingles, stone and slate based roofing material.
Salvageable materials and structures Doors, windows, fixtures, cabinets, hardwood flooring, sinks, bathtubs and appliances, etc. (see Salvage below).
All steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, tin, etc., found in scraps, piping, wiring, structural steel, partition framing, door and window frames, building siding or roofing.
Miscellaneous recyclable materials Glass, carpets, plastics, linoleum, etc.
Salvage Typical salvaged materials include:
• Cabinets (kitchen, bath, built-in woodwork) that are in very good condition and/or have unique workmanship
• Appliances that are in new to almost new condition (older appliances are not energy efficient and are recycled)
• Hardwood flooring
• Wood panels – interior or exterior – if they are in very good condition or of unique material – for example, redwood
• Doors and windows in good condition
• Fixtures
• High value materials such as old-growth redwood
3. Waste Diversion Strategies
Concrete
• Can be broken down on site, to approximately 12” or less (12” minus) and utilized as fill material to fill voids / holes / vaults on site.
o 12” minus materials should be used in 24” lifts and compacted.
o If 12”-minus is used to fill large areas, or as part of fill for grading and re-contouring, a geologic engineer should be consulted.
• Can be shipped offsite to a recycling facility to be ground up for use as class 2 baserock material.
• If the project is large, a concrete grinder can be brought onto the site and the concrete can be ground onsite and either re-used as class 2 fill or shipped offsite to be re-purposed as class 2 fill at another relocation
• NOTE: Painted concrete must have lead content evaluated; contractor shall conduct waste profiles to determine if concrete painted with lead paint can still be recycled or re-used (buried) on site.
Masonry / Brick / Stone
• Most masonry is difficult (if not impossible) to deconstruct and salvage intact.
• Most masonry can be sent to a recycling facility and crushed.
• On District sites where there are areas that can be filled, most masonry can be combined with crushed concrete and used as fill.
o If large areas are to be filled or fill is to be used as part of grading and re-contouring, a geologic engineer should be consulted.
• NOTE: Painted masonry must have lead content evaluated; contractor shall conduct waste profiles to determine if masonry painted with lead paint can still be recycled or re-used (buried) on site.
Asphalt Paving
• Asphalt Paving can be demolished, removed from the site, and recycled for use in new AC paving.
Metals
• Can be source-separated on site and sent directly to a metals recycler or be comingled and sent to a recycling / waste handling facility that accepts, separates and recycles the materials.
• Typically metals can be painted, even with lead based paint, and still be recycled.
Wood Materials
• Wood materials should be evaluated for potential salvage value. If there is potential salvage value, wood materials should be carefully removed or deconstructed to salvage intact.
o Typical wood items that may be suitable* for salvage include:
Large dimensional lumber (beams, posts) Hard wood flooring
Wood windows Wood cabinetry Wood siding / paneling *Suitability should be evaluated. If hazardous materials survey indicates there is lead paint on wood, it shall not be salvaged due to concerns of potentially hazardous materials being funneled back into the marketplace.
Wood framing members cannot be reused for framing, as they are not graded. Unless the wood framing is exceptionally unique (for example, redwood) there is little actual value in salvage.
o Wood that is not painted or treated can be recycled and made into a variety of mulch products.
Wood can be source-separated on site and transported to a recycling center or be co-mingled and sent to a recycling site that separates demolition debris for recycling.
Wood can also be ground on site and used as mulch to aid in site stabilization and erosion control.
• Wood materials can be grounded for mulch with tree and vegetation materials as long as there are no invasive weed concerns.
Thickness and location of mulch should be discussed with District biologist.
Trees / Plant Materials
• Trees and other plant materials removed from the site for a construction or demolition project can be recycled with other wood products.
• Care shall be given to ensure that no invasive weeds are recycled.
• Invasive plants may need to be removed or treated in compliance with the District’s
Integrated Pest Management program.
Salvage Strategies Salvage of materials can be difficult and costly, as it usually requires careful deconstruction, often by hand. District construction contracts require contractors to pay prevailing wage, and the result may be that salvage of materials could be considerably more expensive than recycling the material. Often, materials that have incurred costly labor-hours to salvage ultimately end up being recycled. Therefore, clear identification of the salvage potential of any materials is critical.
The following outlines steps for identifying the potential salvage of items slated for demolition:
1. In filling out Exhibit 1, identify any materials, appliances, fixtures, cabinetry, etc., that may have salvage value.
2. Photograph items, and e-mail photos to a minimum of two salvage companies to obtain their opinion as to the potential salvage value of the items.
3. If the items have a clear strong salvage value (gauged by response from salvage companies interested in the materials), staff may opt to follow one of the two following options:
a. Prepare a separate Request for Quotes for Salvage of items.
i. Salvage work must be evaluated against remediation work required. If any of the salvage work could disturb hazardous materials, then the hazardous materials remediation must take place before salvage operations.
ii. Salvage, remediation and demolition work shall be managed as separate contracts.
b. Include salvage requirements within the construction or demolition bid package
i. Place the responsibility for salvage of materials on the contractor.
ii. Invite salvage companies/subcontractors to attend the pre-bid meetings and have them submit their bids to the prime contractors for inclusion with the bid packages.
iii. This approach transfers coordination of salvage work to contractor.
4. For all salvage activities, the salvage company shall identify the end use for the salvaged item(s). Minimally salvage company shall issue a letter stating:
a. Which materials will be salvaged;
b. Where the salvaged materials will be taken;
c. What the salvaged materials will be used for; and,
d. Confirmation that the salvaged items shall be retained, in their intact state, and will not be recycled.
e. Acknowledgement that receipts shall be provided for the off-site disposition of the salvaged materials.
