Construction and Demolition ( C&D) waste accounts for 29% of materials going into landfills. The City of Palm Desert is mandated by State law to help reduce the amount of material hauled to landfills through the California Green Building Code ( CALGreen). The City has created a process to make compliance easy through the C&D Diversion Program, and it all starts with a Construction Waste Management Plan.

A Construction Waste Management Plan ( CWMP) is necessary to demonstrate compliance with State regulations for your C&D project. A CWMP ensures that C&D projects salvage, reuse, or recycle all inert solids ( i.e. concrete, drywall, brick, asphalt, glass, plaster, clay, etc.) and divert at least 65% of all other debris generated by your project. This 65% diversion requirement, including 100% diversion of land clearing debris ( i.e., dirt, rock, landscape material, etc.), is a mandatory requirement of the CALGreen requirements ( See Palm Desert Environmental Programs!!)

The following projects are required to submit a Construction Waste Management Plan and comply with CALGreen:

Residential

1. Newly constructed low- and high- rise residential buildings such as:

Hotels, motels, and lodging houses.

Apartments and condominiums.

One and two-family dwellings and townhouses.

Dormitories, shelters for homeless people, congregate residences, and employee housing.

Other types of dwellings containing sleeping accommodations with or without common toilets or cooking facilities.

Factory- built housing.

Accessory Dwelling Units ( ADU) built in accordance with the California Building Standards Code.

Live/Work Units.

Accessory structures serving residential buildings.

2. Additions or alterations of existing residential buildings where the addition or alteration increases the building’ s conditioned area, volume, or size. The CALGreen requirements are only applicable within the specific area of addition or alteration.

Commercial or Non-residential:

1. Newly constructed buildings.

2. Building additions of 1,000 square feet or greater.

3. Building alterations with a permit valuation of $200,000 or above ( for occupancies with the California Building Code. Code requirements for additions and alterations shall only apply to the portions of the building being added or altered within the scope of the permitted work.

Note: Minor electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits are exempt.
