WASTE MANAGEMENT

1 GENERAL

1.1 DEFINITIONS

1.1.1 Construction and Demolition Waste

Solid wastes such as building materials, packaging and rubble resulting from construction, remodeling, demolition and repair of buildings/facilities, paving and infrastructure.

1.1.2 Recyclable Materials

Products and materials that can be recovered and remanufactured into a new product. Recyclable materials include, but are not limited to, the following:

a. Metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), including banding, metal studs, ductwork, piping

b. Asphaltic concrete paving

c. Portland cement concrete

d. Land clearing debris including trees and plant materials

e. Native rock and granular fill

f. Gypsum products

g. Paper and cardboard

h. Wood products, including structural, finish, crates and pallets

i. Brick and masonry

j. Carpet and padding

k. Plastics

l. Copper wiring

m. Mechanical and electrical products and equipment

1.1.3 Recycling Facility

A business that specializes in collecting, handling, processing, distributing, or remanufacturing waste materials generated by demolition and new construction projects, into products or materials that can be used for this project or by others.

SECTION 01572 Page 2

1.1.4 Salvage and Reuse

Existing usable product or material that can be saved and reused in some manner on the project site. Materials that can be salvaged and reused must comply with the applicable technical specifications and include, but are not limited to, the following:

a. Dimensional lumber and other wood products

b. Structural steel

c. Soil

d. Masonry products

1.1.5 Salvage for Resale

Existing usable product or material that can be saved and removed intact (as

is) from the project site to another site for resale to others without remanufacturing.

1.1.6 Trash

Product or material unable to be salvaged for resale, salvaged and reused, returned, or recycled.

1.1.7 Waste Materials

Product or material that can be salvaged for resale, salvaged and reused, returned to vendors, or recycled.

1.2 CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT

1.2.1 General Intent

The Contractor shall use all means available to divert to the greatest extent practical and economically feasible, construction and demolition waste from landfills and incinerators.

1.2.2 Construction Waste Management Operations

Take a pro-active, responsible role in management of construction waste and require all subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers to participate in the effort. Establish a construction waste management program that includes the following categories:

a. Minimizing Packaging Waste

b. Salvage and reuse

c. Salvage for resale or donation

d. Recycling

e. Disposal

SECTION 01572 Page 3

Salvage and reuse is a better waste management method than recycling because little or no reprocessing is necessary, thus less pollution is created when items are reused in their original form. Therefore, a diligent effort shall be made to salvage and reuse products and materials. Waste materials that cannot be salvaged and reused, and have value as being recyclable, shall be recycled. Only trash shall be transported to a landfill or incinerator.

The Contractor shall be responsible for implementation of any special programs involving rebates or similar incentives related to recycling construction waste for this project. Revenues or other savings obtained for recycling or returns shall accrue to the Contractor.

1.2.3 Construction Waste Management Plan

1. Perform a waste analysis to determine the types and quantity of construction waste anticipated and identify salvage for resale, salvage and reuse, recycling and disposal options available. Within 30 days after contract award and prior to performing any demolition work, submit a Waste Management Plan for review and approval. The Waste Management Plan shall include the following:

a. Project waste analysis.

b. Projected cost of disposing of all trash and waste materials as if there would be no salvage or recycling on this project.

c. Name, address and phone number for each landfill or incinerator facility to be utilized.

d. Tipping fee for each landfill or incinerator.

e. A list of waste materials that will be salvaged for resale, salvaged and reused, and recycled.

f. Identification of each recycling facility to be utilized.

g. Anticipated net cost savings determined by subtracting the cost of separating and recycling from the following:

1. Savings due to reuse of demolished materials.

2. Revenue from the sale of salvaged and recycled materials.

3. Landfill or incinerator tipping fees saved due to diversion of materials to recycling.

h. Description of the method to be employed in recycling waste materials and description of the method that will be used to protect recycled materials from contamination.

i. Description of the means of transportation of recyclable materials and the destination of the materials.

1.3.4 RECYCLING

1.3.4.1 GENERAL RECYCLING REQUIREMENTS

The contractor is required to recycle all recyclable material, not to financially overburden the Contractor. Primary recyclable materials include but are not limited to any concrete, asphalt and metal. Also, the Contractor should submit monthly (submitted with progress schedule used for invoicing) and annual/final Disposal and Recycling Reports for 628 CES/CEAN records (see attached form on page 6). The Disposal and Recycling Report shall include type of material recycled, recycled material tonnage, and tonnage of material disposed of in a landfill.

This report shall be signed by the contractor prior to submittal.

According to DUSD (ES) Letter, 13 May 98, New DOD Pollution Prevention Measure of Merit, sets the diversion rate requirement for non-hazardous solid waste as greater than 40% by recycling C&D Debris, while ensuring integrated non-hazardous solid waste management programs provide an economic benefit. AFI 32-7080 states, increase solid waste diversion rates where economically preferable. Recycling C&D Debris includes waste building materials, packaging, and rubble resulting from construction, remodeling, and demolition of building and structures.

Additionally, ensure that the FAR document incorporates the tonnage of the solid waste that went to landfill and the tonnage recycled in the contract for the ESORT criteria.

1.3 PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING

Implement and maintain, for the duration of the project, the construction waste management program. Establish a method of monitoring and documenting the program, and submit a periodic report with each application for payment that includes the following:

a. Amount (by weight) and type of waste materials disposed of in a landfill or incinerator, the tip fee per ton, and the total cost of disposal including transportation costs, container rental costs, etc.

b. Amount (by weight) and type of materials salvaged for sale, salvaged for reuse, and recycled. Provide destination, means of transportation, cost of transportation and handling, tipping fee savings and revenue generated for each material.

c. Cost savings due to salvaging, reusing, and recycling materials.

1.3.1 Hazardous Materials/Hazardous Wastes

If any non-acceptable materials such as hazardous materials or hazardous wastes are encountered, notify the Contracting Officer.

1.4 SALVAGE AND REUSE

Encourage the practice of efficient waste management when, sizing, cutting, and installing products and materials.

SECTION 01572 Page 5

1.5 SEPARATION OF RECYCLABLE WASTE MATERIALS

Provide the necessary containers and bins, to facilitate the waste management program, that are clearly and appropriately marked. Prevent contamination of recyclable materials from incompatible products and materials. Separate construction waste at the project site by one of the following methods:

a. Source Separated Method: Waste products and materials, that are recyclable, are separated from trash and sorted into appropriately marked separate containers and then transported to the respective recycling facility for further processing. Trash is transported to a landfill or incinerator.

b. Co-Mingled Method: All construction waste is placed into a single container and then transported to a recycling facility where the recyclable materials are sorted and processed and the remaining trash is transported to a landfill or incinerator.

c. Other methods proposed by the Contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer.
