CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE MANAGEMENT

01/07

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for the management of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste materials.

Adhere to UFC 1-300-02 Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) Format Standard when editing this guide specification or preparing new project specification sections. Edit this guide specification for project specific requirements by adding, deleting, or revising text. For bracketed items, choose applicable items(s) or insert appropriate information.

Remove information and requirements not required in respective project, whether or not brackets are present.

Comments, suggestions and recommended changes for this guide specification are welcome and should be submitted as a Criteria Change Request (CCR) .

PART 1 GENERAL

NOTE: Military installations are required to direct at least 60 percent of their non-hazardous solid wastes (including waste from construction and demolition operations) from the waste stream. This guide specification should be used to reduce the amount of construction and demolition waste requiring landfill disposal or incineration and to promote more efficient use of construction materials during construction.

The requirements of this specification must be coordinated with the facility user to assure compatibility with the users waste management programs and to gain access to recycling centers and

SECTION 01 74 19 Page 2 storage areas. Also, this specification must be coordinated with Section 01 57 20.00 10 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, Section 02 41 00 [DEMOLITION][ AND ][DECONSTRUCTION], Section 01 57 19.00 20 TEMPORARY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS, and other sections of the project specification requiring disposal of construction and demolition waste.

Disposal of hazardous or toxic materials and wastes is specified in Section 02 81 00 TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS and Section

01 57 19.00 20 TEMPORARY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS.

Every project must use a properly edited version of this guide specification..

1.1 REFERENCES

NOTE: Issue (date) of references included in project specifications need not be more current than provided by the latest guide specification. Use of SpecsIntact automated reference checking is recommended for projects based on older guide specifications.

The publications listed below form a part of this specification to the extent referenced. The publications are referred to within the text by the basic designation only.

U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL (USGBC)

LEED BD+C (2009; R 2010) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design(tm) Building Design and Construction (LEED-NC)

LEED GBDC Ref Guide (2009; R 2010) LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design, Construction and Major Renovations of Commercial and Institutional Buildings including Core & Shell and K-12 Projects

1.2 GOVERNMENT POLICY

NOTE: Diverting construction waste from the landfill is required by federal mandate, and also contributes to the following LEED credit: MR2.

Diverting 95 to 100 percent of waste may contribute to the following LEED credit: ID1. Coordinate requirements with Section 01 33 29 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING. Include the bracketed sentence in Army projects if pursuing the credit.

Government policy is to apply sound environmental principles in the design, SECTION 01 74 19 Page 3 construction and use of facilities. As part of the implementation of that policy: (1) practice efficient waste management when sizing, cutting, and installing products and materials and (2) use all reasonable means to divert construction and demolition waste from landfills and incinerators and to facilitate their recycling or reuse. Divert a minimum of [60][_____] percent by weight of total project solid waste from the landfill.

1.3 MANAGEMENT

Develop and implement a waste management program. Take a pro-active, responsible role in the management of construction and demolition waste and require all subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers to participate in the effort. The Environmental Manager, as specified in Section 01 57 19.00 20 Temporary Environmental Controls, is responsible for instructing workers and overseeing and documenting results of the Waste Management Plan for the project. Construction and demolition waste includes products of demolition or removal, excess or unusable construction materials, packaging materials for construction products, and other materials generated during the construction process but not incorporated into the work. In the management of waste, consider the availability of viable markets, the condition of the material, the ability to provide the material in suitable condition and in a quantity acceptable to available markets, and time constraints imposed by internal project completion mandates. Implement any special programs involving rebates or similar incentives related to recycling of waste.

Revenues or other savings obtained for salvage, or recycling accrue to the Contractor. Appropriately permit firms and facilities used for recycling, reuse, and disposal for the intended use to the extent required by federal, state, and local regulations. Also, provide on-site instruction of appropriate separation, handling, recycling, salvage, reuse, and return methods to be used by all parties at the appropriate stages of the project.

1.4 SUBMITTALS

NOTE: Submittals must be limited to those necessary for adequate quality control. The importance of an item in the project should be one of the primary factors in determining if a submittal for the item should be required.

The Guide Specification technical editors have designated those items that require Government approval, due to their complexity or criticality, with a "G." Generally, other submittal items can be reviewed by the Contractor's Quality Control System. Only add a “G” to an item, if the submittal is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project.

For submittals requiring Government approval on Army projects, a code of up to three characters within the submittal tags may be used following the "G" designation to indicate the approving authority.

Codes for Army projects using the Resident Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office (Engineering Division or other organization in the District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for

SECTION 01 74 19 Page 4

Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy projects.

An "S" following a submittal item indicates that the submittal is required for the Sustainability Notebook to fulfill federally mandated sustainable requirements in accordance with Section 01 33 29

SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING.

Submittal items not designated with a "G" are considered as being for information only for Army projects and for Contractor Quality Control approval for Navy projects.

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation;

submittals not having a "G" designation are [for Contractor Quality Control approval.][for information only. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government.] Submittals with an "S" are for inclusion in the Sustainability Notebook, in conformance to Section 01 33 29 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING. Submit the following in accordance with Section 01 33 00

SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES:

SD-01 Preconstruction Submittals

Waste Management Plan; G [, [_____]] ; [( LEED BD+C)]

SD-11 Closeout Submittals

l. Anticipated net cost savings determined by subtracting Contractor program management costs and the cost of disposal from the revenue generated by sale of the materials and the incineration and/or landfill cost avoidance.

Revise and resubmit Plan as required by the Contracting Officer. Approval of Contractor's Plan will not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for compliance with applicable environmental regulations or meeting project cumulative waste diversion requirement. Distribute copies of the Waste Management Plan to each subcontractor, the Quality Control Manager, and the Contracting Officer.

1.7 RECORDS

NOTE: Use LEED Letter Template for Army projects if pursuing this credit. Include bracketed sentence for Army projects. Also for Army pojects, include second paragraph regarding timber harvest and demolition by others if applicable and if pursuing LEED credit MR2.

Maintain records to document the quantity of waste generated; the quantity of waste diverted through sale, reuse, or recycling; and the quantity of waste disposed by landfill or incineration. [Keep records in accordance with the LEED GBDC Ref Guide and using the LEED BD+C Letter Template.] Quantities may be measured by weight or by volume, but must be consistent throughout. List each type of waste separately noting the disposal or diversion date. Identify the landfill, recycling center, waste processor, or other organization used to process or receive the solid waste. Provide explanations for any waste not recycled or reused. With each application for payment, submit updated documentation for solid waste disposal and diversion, and submit manifests, weight tickets, receipts, and invoices specifically identifying the project and waste material. Make the records available to the Contracting Officer during construction, and [deliver to the Contracting Officer upon completion of the construction][include in the Sustainability Notebook] a copy of the records.

SECTION 01 74 19 Page 9

1.10 DISPOSAL

Control accumulation of waste materials and trash. Recycle or dispose of collected materials off-site at intervals approved by the Contracting Officer and in compliance with waste management procedures. Except as otherwise specified in other sections of the specifications, dispose of in accordance with the following:

1.10.1 Reuse.

Give first consideration to salvage for reuse since little or no re-processing is necessary for this method, and less pollution is created when items are reused in their original form. [Coordinate reuse with the Contracting Officer. ] [Reuse materials as indicated. ] Consider sale or donation of waste suitable for reuse.

1.10.2 Recycle.

NOTE: Crushing lamps on site creates a hazardous waste stream, which has additional handling and disposal requirements.

Recycle waste materials not suitable for reuse, but having value as being recyclable. Recycle all fluorescent lamps, HID lamps, and mercury-containing thermostats removed from the site. Arrange for timely pickups from the site or deliveries to recycling facilities in order to prevent contamination of recyclable materials.

[ 1.10.3 Compost

NOTE: If a compost pile can remain on site after construction is complete, and if there is a use for the finished compost, employ composting practices throughout the project.

Consider composting on site if a reasonable amount of compostable material will be available. Compostable materials include plant material, sawdust, and certain food scraps.

] 1.10.4 Waste.

NOTE: Disposal by landfill or incineration on the installation should not be provided as a "no Cost" item. If necessary to use such facilities the Contractor should be charged the prevailing commercial rate.

Dispose of materials with no practical use or economic benefit to waste-to-energy plants where available. As the last choice, dispose of materials at a landfill or incinerator.
