Methodology
GENERAL
� Demonstrate that the General contractor, working collaboratively with all subcontractors
and specialty contractors (e.g. demolition), developed a Construction
and Demolition Waste Management Plan (CDWMP) prior to the start of construction
and demolition activities. The CDWMP must identify the materials to be diverted
from landfill and indicate whether the materials will be segregated on-site or
commingled. If materials are planned for salvage, the plan must indicate their
planned use.
� Demonstrate that the Contractor implemented monthly monitoring of the CDWMP,
and achieved a minimum final recycling/salvage rate of 30% of construction and
demolition waste (by weight or volume). This figure excludes all hazardous waste
that must undergo specialized treatment.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT/CLARIFICATIONS
None
This is a requirement. There are no Credit Points awarded.
� CDWMP conforming to the Credit Requirements; and
� Schedule of items to be recycled/salvaged, their source within the project, their
total estimated weight or volume and the name and location of potential
reclaim/recycling haulers.
� Calculations, supported with detailed receipts, summarizing final results of the
CDWMP activities listing items recycled/salvaged, their source within the project,
their total weight or volume, the name and location of the reclaim/recycling
haulers, and markets for the recyclable materials.
Calculations can be done by weight or volume, but must be consistent throughout.
