INNOVATIVE RECYCLING APPROACH

Our companys ongoing goal is to provide materials recovery services in an environmentally beneficial manner. Recycling efforts have been advanced by the advent of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System (LEED). This system has promoted the creation of a recovery infrastructure and additional markets for building materials such as gypsum, carpeting, wood, metal, acoustical tile, plastic, concrete, and insulation. The LEED benchmark for green building techniques have advanced rapidly in the National Capitol region, where government projects have lead the way in adopting these standards for new construction and renovations. Innovative Recycling

Construction and Demolition Waste Recovery Facilities (Single Stream Recovery)

ESI has developed local waste handling facilities to maximize recyclables recovery for our customers by identifying and processing unsorted waste that contains recyclable materials. The advent of LEED Green Building requirements has been a catalyst to spur recycling of building materials. A typical North American commercial construction project generates up to 2.5 pounds of solid waste per square foot. Thus, the emphasis to recover building materials has become a high priority amongst government entities and commercial developers. In an effort to comply with these new guidelines and to reduce costs, many construction and demolition projects attempt to source separate materials such as metal and concrete. However, due to the temporary nature of these operations and the numerous subcontractor firms employed, full compliance with these objectives is difficult to achieve. Materials that are identified for recycling do not always get segregated and placed in the designated containers. In addition, the scale of many jobs makes the recovery of many recyclables unfeasible or uneconomical. Our company delivers these materials to a secondary processing facility which sorts the loads for recyclable materials through a combination of automated and manual methods. Materials that are collected include, but are not limited to, the following:
Brick Metal (ferrous & non-ferrous) Dirt Gypsum drywall (sheetrock) Concrete Plastics (1-7) Cardboard Ceiling tiles Asphalt Wood Carpeting Aggregate products
A recovery report is provided for each load delivered to these facilities, indicating the percentage of each recovered material present in the load. The weights of the recovered materials are calculated and added to the totals for the source separated recyclables to provide an overall recycling rate for a specific project.
Single-Stream Benefits
Minimal space requirement (single container for all materials) Reduce jobsite labor and training Eliminate contamination issues Maximize landfill diversion rates
12
Burgeoning Markets for New Materials
Carpeting Over five billion pounds of carpeting are discarded each year in the United States. In 2002 only 3.8 percent of discarded carpeting was diverted from the landfill, today that number is over 10 percent. All segregated carpeting, both broadloom and tiles, will be recovered from the facility and delivered to carpeting recycling facilities for processing into raw materials that will be utilized in the manufacture of plastics and other synthetic based products. Some of the products include geohay, which replaces straw bales on construction sites, ethanol, nylon resins, new carpeting and septic systems. Carpeting may be recovered through source separation at the site or additionally at a secondary recovery facility. Acoustical Tiles Acoustical tiles are collected for remanufacturing of new ceiling tiles. Armstrong World Industries in Lancaster, PA developed a program in 1999 which has since collected and recycled over 20 million square feet of acoustical tiles. Ceiling tiles may be collected and staged for transportation that is provided by Armstrong. Gypsum Board Recovered gypsum is collected at secondary recovery facilities where the material is consolidated and delivered to a gypsum processing facility. There the material is fed into a processing unit. The paper coating is segregated from the gypsum, metal is removed and the products are delivered to manufacturing facilities for reuse. The gypsum is used as an aggregate for concrete products, remanufactured into new gypsum products or used in agricultural applications.

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
1.01 General Overview and Purpose

The following plan provides an overview of construction and demolition waste management practices associated with the construction of the Green Building. This Construction and Demolition Waste Management Plan has been prepared by EnviroSolutions, Inc. (ESI) exclusively for Sustainable Builders, LLC (Sustainable Builders) for the Green Building. It has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the contract specifications and the Unites States Green Building Councils Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design New Construction Green Building rating system (LEED-NC), version 2.2. Government policy is to apply sound environmental principals in the design, construction and use of facilities. As part of the implementation of that policy, Sustainable Builders shall: 1) 2) Practice efficient waste management when sizing, cutting, and installing products and materials; and Use all reasonable means to divert construction and demolition waste from landfills and incinerators and to facilitate their recycling and reuse. A minimum of 75 percent by weight of total project solid waste shall be diverted from the landfill.
Sustainable Builders shall develop and implement a waste management program in acordance with LEED-NC. The contractor will 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 contractor will assign a LEED coordinator, who shall be responsible for instructing workers and overseeing and documenting results of the Waste Management Plan for this project. Construction and demolition waste include 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, consideration shall be given to 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. Sustainable Builders is responsible for the implementation of 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. Sustainable Builders will appropriately use permitted firms for recycling, reuse, and disposal to the extent required by federal, state, and local regulations. Sustainable Builders will provide on-site instruction of appropriate separation, handling, recycling, salvages, reuse and return methods to be used by all parties at the appropriate stages of this project. 2008 EnviroSolutions, Inc.

IDENTIFY TARGET MATERIALS
2.01 Analysis of Job Site Waste Generated

The types of job wastes that will be generated are expected to include the following:
Land Clearing Debris Metal (ferrous) Wood Carpeting & padding Asphalt Metal (non-ferrous) Gypsum Ceiling tiles Cardboad Concrete Plastic Paper Insulation
20
III. MEANS AND METHODS TO ACHIEVE 75% DIVERSION

3.01 Waste Reduction
First, consideration will be given to salvage for reuse, since little or no reprocessing is necessary for this method, and less pollution is created when items are reused in their original form. Reuse, such as sale or donation of waste suitable for reuse, will be considered on-site by Sustainable Builders and any reuse will be coordinated through the Contracting Officer for the project. Waste materials not suitable for reuse, but having value as being recyclable shall be recycled as described in Section 3.02. Materials with no practical use or economic benefit shall be disposed of off-site at a landfill or incinerator. Sustainable Builders will set aside and protect substandard materials and return these materials to the supplier for credit. In order to minimize substandard materials, Sustainable Builders will inspect all material deliveries. If Sustainable Builders finds materials that are substandard they will either be stored on-site until they can be picked up by the supplier or Sustainable Builders will refuse delivery of the materials. Sustainable Builders will monitor each subcontractor to ensure that subcontractors are providing accurate measurements of materials in which they are providing on-site. During the course of the job, Sustainable Builders will continue to seek ways to eliminate non-recyclable waste from entering the site and to reduce the amount of waste generated.
21
3.02 Separation and Delivery

The sorting and separation of debris/wastes will be done off-site by the waste management company, EnviroSolutions, Inc., at their facility. EnviroSolutions, Inc is a LEED compliant waste management company that Sustainable Builders intends to employ for the Green Building project. The primary designation for commingled construction & demolition debris will be the following:
Curtis Creek Recovery 23 Stahl Point Road Baltimore, MD 21226
Lorton Landfill 10001 Furnace Road Lorton, VA 22079
According to the LEED Program, materials that are recovered at the facility include, but are not limited to, the following:
Drywall Plastic Wood (unpainted and untreated) Cardboard and Paper Carpeting Metal (ferrous and non-ferrous)
Aggregate Materials (concrete, asphalt, dirt and other earthen materials)
Sustainable Builders has not yet determined the specific areas where bulk recycling dumpsters will be located.

23
Anticipated net cost savings determined by subtracting Sustainable Builders program management costs and the cost of disposal from the revenue generated by the sale of materials and the landfill/incinerator cost avoidance: Sustainable Builders has determined that there is no additional savings to recycling except for the potential metals rebate, should Sustainable Builders determine that it is feasible to sort metals onsite. Sustainable Builders is unable to determine these savings at this time; however their quarterly reports will show how much metal is being recycled. For the LEED credit, it is only necessary for Sustainable Builders to track how much materials are being diverted from the landfill. It is anticipated that ESI will provide dumpsters for all commingled recyclables. All construction waste will be delivered to ESIs recovery facility. ESI will then separate these materials into the correct category (plastic, metals, etc.) at the recovery facility where the contents will also be weighed and the tonnage figures will be converted into landfill diversion percentages for the project. The following containers will likely be provided by ESI: 20 yard dumpsters For heavier materials, such as concrete and asphalt 30 yard dumpsters For general construction & demolition waste Designated areas will be established for construction and demolition recycling. Recyclables and salvageable waste products will be protected, handled and stored at the site in a manner that maximizes recovery of identified materials. Any fluorescent lamps, high intensity discharge lamps and mercury-containing thermostats removed from the site shall also be recycled. In the event that they are generated on-site, these materials will be stored in an enclosed recycling container. This container will be labeled as containing universal waste and the date this waste was first generated shall be specified on the container. Any broken bulbs will be placed in a vapor tight container, which will not be reopened prior to disposal. Construction Waste Management Plan
24
3.03 On-Site Waste Log

The official waste log will be created by ESI and will be updated after each waste container is transported to the recovery facility. A monthly update will then be created by ESI for the purpose of keeping an active record of all materials generated and recycled. ESI will provide a ticket for each container pulled. The weight ticket will include the following information: Date Work Order Number Percentage of Each Material Percentage of Waste to the Landfill Total Tonnage
3.04 Location of Recycle Area

The sorting and separation of debris/wastes will be done off-site by ESI. Sustainable Builders will provide proper monitoring of waste and dumpster capacity checks. The monitoring will be done on a daily basis by the designated Sustainable Builders superintendents and project engineers. The monitoring referred to will consist of checking to see that the dumpsters are not overloaded and that hazardous materials are not being dumped into the dumpsters. Since sorting will be conducted off-site, there will be no actual monitoring to ensure that subcontractors are recycling properly, except to ensure they are not dumping hazardous material in the containers. Containers and waste bin areas will be kept neat and clean, and will be monitored for cleanliness.
25
IV. SUBCONTRACTOR ORIENTATION

4.01 Preconstruction Meetings
Prior to commencement of work for each construction package, Sustainable Builders will schedule and conduct a meeting with the Contracting Officer to discuss the proposed Waste Management Plan and to develop a mutual understanding to implement this plan. After contracts are established with subcontractors, each subcontractor will be delivered a Green Building LEED package. This package will contain general information about the processes and procedures of the project, including waste management and recycling. Effort will be made by Sustainable Builders to meet with as many subcontractors as possible in order for subcontractors to gain information from other subcontractors, aiding in coordination of the waste management program. Items to be discussed at the meeting shall include the following: Summary of LEED Target Materials to be Recycled Task Requirements Documentation of Efforts Job Site Clean Up Progress Reporting
Each subcontractor is expected to make sure all of their crews comply with this Waste Management Plan. Additionally, waste prevention and recycling will be discussed at the beginning of each subcontractor orientation meeting, safety orientation meetings and weekly field meetings.
26
4.02 Task Requirements/Documentation

Each subcontractor will have some uniqueness as it relates to waste management. However, all subcontractors will have similar requirements for their job site activities for construction waste management. At each pre-installation meeting, the variances to the task requirements will be discussed and coordinated to fall within the intent of this plan. The general tasks for each subcontractor will be as follows: Additional Materials Subcontractor input regarding materials that are not listed that have the potential to be recycled. Construction Waste Management Plan Waste Reduction Discussion of the proper way to verify that waste has been reduced and not shifted. Documentation required from manufacturer/fabricator verifying that waste is reduced.
4.03 Clean Up
A clean site is not only a safe site but makes the visualization of how much waste is being generated apparent. Subcontractors will be directed to clean their areas of work daily. Materials not cleaned up will be cleaned at the subcontractors expense. Also, each week the subcontractors will participate in a composite crew for clean-up. The number of workers from each subcontractor in the composite crew will be prorated based on the number of workers they will have on-site. All hazardous wastes will be segregated for proper handling. Hazardous wastes and hazardous materials will be handled in accordance with applicable regulations.
27
V.
MONITORING REPORTS
5.01 Record Keeping

Records will be maintained 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 incinerator. Records will be kept in accordance with the LEED Reference Guide and using the LEED 2.1 Letter Template. A copy of this template is provided in Appendix I. Quantities will be measured by weight and will be kept consistent throughout. The records will list each type of waste separately, noting the disposal or diversion date. The records will identify the landfill, recycling center, waste processor, or other organization used to process or receive the solid waste. Explanations will be provided for any waste not recycled or reused. With each application for payment, Sustainable Builders will submit updated documentation for solid waste disposal and diversion, and submit manifests, weight tickets, receipts and invoices specifically identifying the project and waste material. The official waste log will be created by ESI, and will be submitted monthly for the purpose of keeping an active record of all materials recycled and the weights for each material and will be made available to the Contracting Officer.
5.02 Reports
Monthly reports and a final report shall be provided by ESI, and shall include the following: Waste Management Audit, indicating percentages, amounts and types of waste generated and recovered. Destination report, indicating the destination of materials generated at the site. Weight Tickets, detailing each load as described herein. Invoice, detailing all costs associated with the waste management program.
This information shall be used to complete the LEED 2.1 Letter Template Spreadsheet (or Final LEED 2.1 Letter Template Spreadsheet in the case of the final report) that includes the amount (by weight) of recycled and/or salvaged construction and land clearing waste. The final report will also include the total amount (by weight) of landfill waste and the overall waste diverted from the landfill. Each report shall include supporting documentation, such as manifests, weigh tickets, receipts and invoices specifically identifying the project and waste material.
