INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose and Goal

The Comprehensive Construction and Demolition and Solid Waste Management Plan, dated August 2010, was developed to provide the requirements and procedures for ensuring optimum diversion of construction and demolition (C&D) and solid waste generated by the Defense Policy Review Initiative (DPRI) Guam Military Relocation Construction Program from landfill disposal. The purpose of the Plan was to provide a program-wide approach to construction and demolition waste management from multiple projects and areas to minimize impacts to local communities, as well as address environmental compliance normally associated with C&D waste management. The Plan was prepared to assist the Navy’s construction managers and contractors with proper management of solid and C&D waste generated during construction activities. The 2010 Plan was prepared in consultation with United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Region IX.

This Plan is an update to the 2010 Plan and reflect changes described in the 2015 Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Guam and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Military Relocation (2012 Roadmap Adjustments) and current solid waste policies and regulations.

For solid waste and construction waste management, at least 50% (by weight) of the total project waste must be diverted from the landfill through waste reuse, recycling, and source reduction.

For the Guam Military Relocation Program, Contractors must comply with the E.O. 13514, DoD policy and this Plan to eliminate waste by minimizing the generation of waste and pollution through source reduction, diverting at least 50% of non-hazardous solid waste, excluding C&D debris; diverting at least 60% of C&D materials and debris; and increasing diversion of compostable and organic material from the waste stream.

The waste management program for the DPRI construction projects must meet this waste diversion of at least 60% for each project to support the Navy goal for C&D waste landfill diversion. The Contractor is responsible for the means, methods, techniques, sequence, and procedures of construction, which include waste disposal, however, the Navy has established the above waste diversion goals and defined waste diversion criteria to assist the Contractor in their waste reduction and management.

The primary objective of this Plan is to:

Implement Federal and DoD policy on the solid waste management hierarchy (reduce, reuse, recycle, and disposal)

Advance the highest and best use of limited resources on Guam Preserve the island’s limited space and protect the drinking water aquifer and natural resources from contamination Reuse and recycle materials to achieve green building credits under the LEED rating system Use all reasonable means to divert solid waste and C&D waste and facilitate reuse and recycling

1-2

Practice efficient waste management Provide requirements for the Contractor’s Waste Management Plan, including tracking and recordkeeping of waste generation, reuse, recycling, and disposal.

1.2 Project Background

As part of an international agreement with the Government of Japan, the Department of the Navy (Navy) originally planned to relocate approximately 8,600 United States Marine Corps (USMC) military personnel & 9,000 dependents to Guam. In 2012, the military relocation plan was adjusted to relocate 5,000 USMC military personnel & 1,300 dependents to Guam. In support of the relocation, the Navy is proposing to construct a new USMC main cantonment and live-fire training range complex. Further description of the proposed relocation and associated construction activities are described in the Final SEIS located at website http://guambuildupeis.us/. The preferred alternative is for a Main Cantonment at Finegayan, Family Housing at Anderson Airforce Base and an LFTRC at Northwest Field described in the Final SEIS Section 2.4.4.5 (Finegayan Cantonment/AAFB Family Housing – Alternative E) and

2.5.4.5 (Northwest Field LFTRC – Alternative 5).

For the preferred alternative, major construction activities will occur mostly in the northern region of Guam with facilities, training range, roadway and utilities projects. Improvements to existing facilities and infrastructure, including utilities (power, water, wastewater, and IT/COMM) and roads are also planned to meet the future demands of the military relocation.

Construction would typically include demolition, site clearing and grubbing, and grading, placement of utilities, infrastructure and roadways, and construction of facilities buildings and structures, housing, training areas, and landscaping. Anticipated construction project footprint is provided as Attachment A-1.

SECTION 2

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT

2.1 C&D Waste Management, LEED, and Sustainability

In addition to meeting the solid waste and C&D waste management requirements in the contract, efforts to prevent solid waste and C&D waste, reuse salvaged materials, and recycle materials on a project helps the contractors earn points toward qualifying for the US Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design 2009 (LEED 2009), required for all projects under this construction program. As part of sustainability, the Contractors are required to maintain LEED points, including waste reduction credits. The Navy has a goal to meet LEED 2009 Silver for their projects.

Under the USGBC LEED Program, the Contractor is required to meet the MR Prerequisite 1:

Storage and Collection of Recyclables which requires the Contractors to provide an easily-accessible dedicated area or areas for the collection and storage of materials for recycling for the entire building. Materials must include, at a minimum: paper, corrugated cardboard, glass, plastics and metals.

Additional points can be obtained under Materials and Resources – Construction Waste Management (MR Credit 2) where the Contractors can earn one or two points for achieving a 50 percent or 75 percent recycling/salvaging, respectively. It should be noted, however, excavated soil and land clearing debris does not count towards this credit. The Contractors can earn 1 to 2 points by utilizing recycled products (10% and 20% by weight) on their project under Recycled Content (MR Credit 4).

Requirements for recycling and recovered materials are provided in Contract Specification, Section 01 62 35, Recycled/Recovered Materials. The objective of the procurement policy is to acquire, in a cost effective manner, items containing the highest percentage of recycled or recovered materials practicable consistent with maintaining a satisfactory level of competition without adversely affecting performance requirements or exposing workers to undue hazards from the recovered materials.

2.2 General Best Management Practices for Waste Management

The first approach to waste management best management practices is reducing waste which yields the greatest environmental benefits. Using less material reduces cost and pollution that results from manufacturing and transportation, saves energy and water, and keeps material out of landfills. Waste reduction should be the top priority in the Contractors’ Waste Management Plans.

Purchasing recycled products is good for the environment, and it creates markets for the C&D waste the Contractor is trying to recycle. Strategies include considering the wide range of commonly available recycled products and submitting recycled products when they meet

2-2 contract specifications. Also using recycled materials for job site uses, such as for temporary construction, office supplies, and collection containers divert waste from landfills.

Preventing waste has more benefits than recycling, both environmentally and economically.

Some of these strategies include:

Ordering materials accurately and as needed, to minimize the risk of damage.

Protecting materials from multiple-handling, weather conditions, theft, and damage from construction activities.

Reusing materials on site, such as mulch from land-clearing, debris/wood, or aggregate from the crushed rock of excavation.

Selecting suppliers that take back packaging, pallets, unused or scrap materials.

Review and identify materials that can be salvaged prior to demolition. Potentially reusable materials should be identified before demolition, and their value evaluated, as well as the ease of removal and processing necessary (e.g. removal of nails). Also, being creative in seeking end-users for salvaged materials– sell it, donate it, give it away or use it on the project site. Non-profit organizations may take surplus and reusable building materials and contents.

Waste reduction should be the first priority for waste management BMPs succeeded by C&D waste reuse and recycling. Disposal should only be considered as a last resort. For disposal of non-reusable or non-recyclable C&D debris/wastes or non-C&D solid wastes, the Navy Landfill at Naval Base Guam, the Layon Landfill or permitted hardfill facilities will be used in accordance with their waste acceptance criteria. See Section 2.7 for details on landfills/disposal facility.

It is also important to realize that there is potential for certain purchasing procedures to contribute to excessive material waste on site. Examples include excessive purchase of disposable materials/equipment or the practice of over-ordering of materials to allow for anticipated waste. Contractors shall provide initiatives to maximize the use/reuse of materials efficiently.

Waste minimization, reuse and recycling can best be managed operationally by designating an Environmental Manager who is adequately trained, to take responsibility for all waste management on site. Specifically, the Environmental Manager’s function will be to: 1) communicate with site personnel on proper handling and management of solid waste through on-site waste management training; 2) ensure proper storage and handling of construction materials to minimize damaged materials/waste; 3) ensure C&D and other solid wastes are properly sorted and characterized for proper disposition as required in accordance with local and federal requirements; 4) conduct waste audits and adopting demolition methodology for maximum reuse and/or recycling of waste; and 5) ensure accurate recordkeeping of waste management and reporting. A key responsibility of the Environmental Manager will be to maintain accurate records on the quantities of waste/surpluses arising and the full cost associated with waste management, as well as ensuring accurate reporting of solid/C&D waste generated, stored, reused, recycled, and disposed.

2-3

2.3 Best Management Practices for Jobsite Waste Management

Waste management is an integral part of C&D projects. All contractors must meet a minimum of 50% waste diversion for solid waste (includes green waste) and 60% diversion of construction and demolition debris/waste. Contractors are encouraged to go beyond these minimum diversion goals to achieve greater environmental and economic results. The Contractors must do their part in meeting the waste reduction goals in accordance with the contract specifications, this Plan, and the Contractor’s waste management plan. There are numerous ways the Contractors can divert construction and demolition debris and solid waste/green waste on their projects, including:

Reducing packaging and packing materials as much as possible by ordering in bulk Using returnable containers and packing materials to the vendors/manufacturers Reusing non-returnable materials or reusable materials onsite Giving away non-returnable materials to local schools, youth centers, and community service groups, and local non-profit organizations with Navy approval.

Recycling damaged components, products, and materials, or disassemble them into their constituent materials for recycling.

Using a C&D debris recycling firm. Concrete and masonry rubble can be separated out of the debris for crushing into aggregate products. The remaining debris is typically crushed or shredded, then conveyed along a pick line for sorting and recycling.

Placing receptacles in the path of least resistance to the workers, training the workers to observe segregation practices, and policing the jobsite to prevent contamination. Develop a process that requires on-site segregation. As trades enter and leave the jobsite, each generates a relatively homogeneous waste stream, given the specific tasks and the materials with which they work.

Developing the project schedule to accommodate salvage, reuse, or recycling. The quality and quantity of materials salvaged is a direct function to the time available for salvage.

Prior to demolition, salvaging as much useable material and components. Windows and doors, wood flooring, cabinetry, electrical fixtures, plumbing fixtures, mechanical equipment, anything that can be detached and removed and can be salvaged and reused.

When developing the C&D Waste Management Plan, identify the most accessible and valuable materials, thereby optimizing the application of resources to this task.

Composting of green waste.

Specifying safer, environmentally preferable materials.

Using approved-reclaimed and recycled materials.

2.4 Salvaging and Reuse of Building Components and Materials

There are two ways to recover materials for salvage and reuse: 1) deconstruct the building; or 2) conduct a selective salvage operation prior to demolition. Deconstruction involves the careful dismantling of a whole structure in reverse order of assembly, usually by hand, to re-harvest materials for reuse. Salvage is the removal of certain valuable reusable building materials before demolition. In many cases, it may not be feasible or cost-effective to fully deconstruct a building, but there may be materials on a project that can be salvaged instead of recycled or

2-4 discarded. This is also a very good cost saving strategy for the demolition contractor. Demolition contractors should practice some level of salvage on buildings and structures scheduled for demolition. In most cases, demolition contractors conduct salvaging operations before demolishing specific components or materials for reuse of building components and materials.

2.5 Project Reuse of C&D and Green Waste Materials

Processed demolition debris and materials can be reused onsite such as clean concrete as aggregate, fill, base course for building base or roadways, vegetation from clearing and grubbing as compost or mulch, and from clean wood materials. The only difference from salvage is that the material would be reused onsite or processed right at the site and returned to service in another form.

For a list of on-island services for disposal of POL, hazardous materials, and hazardous wastes from Recycling Association of Guam (RAG) and GEPA’s Guam Recycling Guide, see Attachment A-2 and A-3.

2.6 Recycling

After all the options to prevent waste, salvage and reuse building components and materials have been incorporated into the project, the next step in the waste management hierarchy is to recycle as much of the remaining debris as possible. Recycling construction materials can save money by cutting disposal costs. Recycling reduces waste going to the landfill and hardfill sites, facilitates a cleaner and safer construction site and improves community relations. This is dependent upon logistics in the recycling process and access to permitted recycling facilities.

The Contractor can contract with a licensed waste hauler or waste management contractor who provides receptacles/refuse containers for recyclable materials and debris, and hauls the materials to a one-stop permitted service center for recycling, or to individual permitted recycling facilities or hardfill sites which provide recycling/reuse services. Efficient materials collection, movement and site layout should minimize any increased effort from the site source separation. For a list of local recycling facilities from RAG and GEPA, see Attachment A-2 and A-3.

There is a recycling center on Andersen Air Force Base (AAFB), which is operated by a contractor. The recycling center primarily serves as an accumulation point for cardboard, paper, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and glass from family housing, commercial and operational activities (non-construction). The AAFB recycling center accepts these recyclables and arranges for transport of these materials to a recycler. However, construction contractors will not be able to utilize the AAFB recycling center. AAFB recycling center is not intended to support construction contractors, only base military family housing and base industrial facilities at AAFB. Contractors will be required to utilize local, permitted recycling firms and hardfill facilities that provide recycling/reuse services.

2-5

2.6.1 Off-Base Recycling Facilities and Hardfill Sites

The off-base recycling facilities can be the end market for materials or some materials may be broker materials. They will normally take a wide variety of materials that have been separated at the job site or will segregate recyclable materials at their recycling facility or hardfill sites for a fee (i.e. cardboard, paper, aluminum cans, plastic, metal). Depending on the type and quantity of the material, some may even pay for the material. Materials taken to off-base recycling centers must be weighed, recorded, and weight tickets submitted as part of the monthly waste management reporting.

2.7 Landfills (Disposal Facilities)

The least desirable method of C&D and solid waste management is disposal at a landfill or disposal at a facility where waste is buried. However, C&D debris that cannot be recycled or reused such as asbestos-containing materials (ACM), non-hazardous LBP containing materials, pressure- or chemically-treated lumber/wood, and other non-hazardous waste materials meeting the landfill waste acceptance criteria will be hauled to a disposal facility. See Table 2.1 for Guam Landfills and Hardfill facilities.

There are no hazardous waste landfills or solid waste landfills that accept PCB containing wastes on Guam. RCRA hazardous waste, including listed hazardous wastes and characteristic hazardous wastes, as well as PCB containing wastes and other unacceptable TSCA wastes cannot be disposed of on Guam. Hazardous wastes must be disposed off-island at a permitted hazardous waste landfill or Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility (TSDF). PCB bulk waste, a TSCA regulated waste, can be disposed of at a solid waste landfill provided the facility is permitted to receive PCB bulk waste (off-island).

2.7.1 Navy Landfill

Contractors may utilize the Navy Landfill for non-hazardous wastes that cannot be salvaged, reused, or recycled. The current disposal fee schedule can be obtained from the Navy Landfill but is subject to change so the contractor should call and confirm the fee as well as acceptance criteria and procedures prior to disposal. The C&D waste will be disposed at the hardfill site of the landfill, the municipal solid waste (MSW)-type wastes will be disposed at the MSW section of the landfill in accordance with the existing GEPA solid waste permits. The Navy Landfill is located on Naval Base Guam at Apra Harbor and is operated by the Refuse Collection and Disposal (RC&D) Contractor.

2.7.2 Andersen AFB Landfill

Contractors will not be able to utilize the Anderson AFB Landfill. Andersen AFB Landfill normally only accepts wastes from base military family housing and base facilities, not from construction contractors. The Andersen AFB Landfill is located at Andersen AFB near Route 1 and the entrance road to Andersen AFB. The Andersen AFB Landfill has reached its landfill capacity for solid waste, so only C&D and green wastes are being accepted from base housing and facilities.

SECTION 3

TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION (C&D) DEBRIS AND

JOB SITE SOLID WASTES

3.1 Types of Wastes

Construction and demolition (C&D) wastes are wastes generated by construction activities, such as demolition wastes from structures and buildings, land clearing, construction materials, packaging materials, and wastes generated by the construction workforce. C&D is defined as all non-hazardous solid waste resulting from construction and demolition activities. C&D and solid waste include, but are not limited to, the following:

Ceiling and floor tiles Asphalt Asphalt shingles Bricks Cardboard Carpet and pad Concrete Dirt/Soil/Coral/Rock Drywall/Plaster Field office waste (paper, aluminum cans, glass, plastic/glass bottles, packaging materials) Regular trash Fluorescent lights and ballasts Insulation Land clearing debris, including green wastes Metals/Steel Packaging materials Porcelain Glass Wood/Timber Windows & Doors Fixtures and conduits Others – Old appliances

C&D and solid wastes can be processed and reused onsite, salvaged for reuse elsewhere, or recycled. Those that cannot be recycled or reused are disposed in landfills, or managed as wastes requiring special handling (i.e. universal wastes). Appliances frequently contain hazardous materials such as refrigerants, mercury-containing devices and PCB capacitors and ballasts.

The Contractor must prevent contamination of recyclable waste materials. Remove any contamination inadvertently deposited in recyclable waste material containers. Provide cleanup

3-2 of excessive contamination at recycling vendor locations when such contamination is not controlled at the project site.

Waste characterization must be performed for construction C&D debris and waste that may potentially be contaminated with hazardous or regulated materials (unless tested and determined otherwise). Debris or wastes must be evaluated for the potential to contain or be contaminated with hazardous substances in accordance with Section 01 57 19.00 20 of the contract specifications.

3.2 Reusable/Recyclable Materials For Processing and Reuse on Project (green wastes, non- LBP concrete, asphalt concrete, and soil/coral/rock)

3.2.1 Soil/Coral/Rock

Soil, coral and rock excavated from sites during site preparation can normally be used as fill material provided the material is clean (not contaminated). Topsoil removed during initial scarifying of sites can be stored nearby, if space is available, and returned to the site to be used while landscaping the new site, reducing the need to purchase topsoil for finish landscaping near project completion.

3.2.2 Clean Concrete and Asphalt Concrete

Inert Asphalt is one of the most recycled materials. Inert asphalt is often ground up and used as road-base under new roadways or parking lots, or base/fill materials under buildings. Recycling of asphalt is normally accomplished onsite utilizing mobile grinding equipment. This can yield substantial savings by eliminating off-site transportation costs and tipping fees while providing raw materials and road-base that would have needed to be purchased.

Clean Concrete (unpainted or non-LBP/non-PCB) – Unpainted or non-LBP/non-PCB concrete debris can be often crushed, screened and used as road-base. Aggregates can be recovered from this process and used in the production of new concrete, in regions where aggregates are not readily available. This crushing and recycling process can be accomplished on-site in a similar manner described above under asphalt, saving tipping fees as well as the cost to purchase and transport new aggregate or road-base. Demolished concrete can be crushed and recycled as road base. Aggregates can be reclaimed and used in the production of new paving or concrete, and like virgin aggregate must pass the engineer’s performance specifications. Concrete debris and other inert materials are sized to engineered fill as appropriate. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure the concrete is suitable for reuse via chemical testing to ensure compliance with RCRA and TSCA regulations.

Concrete and masonry materials can be recycled to produce aggregate. This may be accomplished on-site with mobile equipment, or rubble can be hauled to a permanent recycling facility. Preferences vary among demolition contractors and recyclers about whether the building should be gutted prior to demolition, leaving only concrete and reinforcing to be crushed, or demolished intact, and the debris sorted as part of the concrete crushing process.
