CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING PROGRAM GUIDEBOOK

On February 23, 2016 the County of El Dorado Board of Supervisors adopted a new

Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance (Chapter 8.43). The new ordinance is

in response to new requirements of the California Green Building Standards Code, California

Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 11 (CalGreen) which mandates that at least 50%* of

Construction & Demolition (C&D) Debris generated from permitted projects be diverted from

being landfilled.

* Effective 1/1/2017, CalGreen will change to increase the mandated diversion rate from 50%

to 65%.

Background The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) requires each city and

county to divert 50% of its solid waste by the year 2000.

The California Global Warming Act of 2006, Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) mandates greenhouse gas

emissions reduction and led to the implementation of CalGreen which defines criteria for C&D

debris management and diversion. Additionally, the State has implemented other laws (AB 341

& AB 1826) to help the State meet a diversion goal of 75% by the year 2020.

Also, the El Dorado County Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) has a goal to increase

County waste diversion to 75% by 2020, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting

sustainability, and meeting state law requirements. Currently, about 68% of the waste

generated within the County is diverted from being landfilled.

Adoption of a new C&D Debris Recycling Ordinance that includes CalGreen standards for the

reuse and recycling of C&D debris is essential to meet the County’s 75% diversion goal and to

help the state reach its 75% diversion goal.

Projects Affected by the C&D Debris Recycling Ordinance The C&D Debris Recycling Ordinance applies to all residential and non-residential (commercial)

projects in the unincorporated areas of the County that require a building permit. Examples

include, but are not limited to (some exemptions apply):

New building being constructed

Demolition of a building, structure, deck, etc.

Projects that increases the building’s area, volume, or size

Tenant improvement

What is Required?

Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Acknowledgement: All building

permit applicants must complete Section 6 of the Building Permit Application (Part 1)

“Construction and Demolition Debris Acknowledgement”. In this section, the applicant will

identify the option they will be using to comply with the C&D Debris Recycling Ordinance.

There are four options:

Updated December 2016 2 of 31

OPTION 1: Use a Debris Box Provided by the Franchise Waste Hauler

This option is best suited for permittees who pay the franchise waste hauler in their area to

provide Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris collection dumpsters to collect ALL the

debris generated from the project. The franchise waste hauler hauls away and manages ALL

debris generated from the project.

The County of El Dorado has solid waste service agreements with 3 exclusive solid waste

franchise haulers. Each franchise hauler is responsible for management of waste generated in

their franchise area of the County. For Option 1, the permittee must use the franchise waste

hauler specific to the area the project is located (El Dorado Disposal, South Tahoe Refuse, or

Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal) to collect, haul, dispose, recycle, and manage ALL debris,

including C&D debris and solid waste, generated from the project. Permittee shall designate

the franchise waste hauler in the C&D Debris Recycling Acknowledgment section of the Building

Permit Application (Part 1, Section 6). The Environmental Management Division (EMD) will

follow up with the permittee and/or the franchise waste hauler to confirm that a C&D debris

dumpster(s) has been ordered/used for the project.

Contact the waste hauler directly to learn about their C&D debris dumpster options, rates, and

to order a dumpster(s) for the project. It is highly recommended that the permittee contact the

hauler before they select a C&D compliance option so that they are informed about the

hauler’s C&D debris collection options, limitations, and rates when they choose their C&D

Debris Recycling Acknowledgment Option on Part 1, Section 6 of the Building Permit

Application. Be sure to mention to the franchise hauler that it is a construction and demolition

project. Typically, C&D disposal fees are lower when the debris is segregated by the various

types.

El Dorado Disposal 4100 Throwita Way Placerville, CA (530) 626-4141

South Tahoe Refuse 2140 Ruth Avenue South Lake Tahoe, CA ( 530) 541-5105

Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal Hwy 89 & Cabin Creek Road Truckee, CA 96161 (530) 583-7800

A map of franchise areas is included in this packet (Appendix 3: Franchise Area Map).

Please refer to this map to find out which franchise hauler is responsible for the area the

project is located.

Note: With this option, a Waste Management Plan (Option 3) and associated reports are not

needed; however, EMD conducts random audits to ensure the permittee follows the terms of

this option. Keep all receipts until the project receives final sign off by Building Services. If

you would like to self-haul your debris, you must use Option 3.

Updated December 2016 3 of 31

OPTION 2: Utilize the “Waste Stream Reduction Alternative”

This option is best suited for small projects that will be generating little to no waste. A good

example of this would be a pre-fabricated shed or barn where no demolition is required and

materials needed have been pre-calculated to minimize the amount of debris that will be

created. For these projects, packaging and/or end cuts will be the primary C&D debris, most all

of which can be recycled.

This option requires that the total debris generated from the project that is landfilled does not

exceed the maximum total combined weight (C&D and solid waste combined) as specified in

the CalGreen standards (sections 4.408.4 and 5.408.1.3).

Those requirements are:

Projects that generate a total combined weight of C&D debris (including solid waste) disposed

of into landfills may not exceed:

4* pounds per square foot (lbs/ft2) of the building area for residential projects; and

2 pounds per square foot (lbs/ft2) of the building area for non-residential projects.

* Effective 1/1/2017, the maximum amount of debris that may be landfilled from residential projects is reduced to 3.4 lbs/ft2 of the project. The maximum amount of C&D debris (including solid waste) that may be landfilled for the

project is calculated from the square footage of the project.

You may be required to provide supporting documentation that the project will not generate an

amount (weight) of C&D debris and solid waste combined that exceeds the maximum

thresholds outlined above. Examples include, but are not limited to, specifications for pre-

fabricated structures, calculations showing building materials needed, etc. Demolition projects

will not likely be able to use this option due to the amount of debris demolition projects

generate.

Example Scenario: A permittee is building a pre-fabricated 30 foot by 20 foot garage on a residential property. The permittee has planned well and is only buying the materials needed to complete the job with minimal scraps. The permittee is also taking the waste lumber, sheetrock, etc. to an Approved Recycle Facility which has a recycling rate of 60%. Calculating the maximum amount of C&D debris and solid waste that can be landfilled:

Updated December 2016 4 of 31

The total project square footage (ft2) is: 30 ft x 20 ft = 600 ft2

Residential projects are limited to 4* pounds per square foot (lbs/ft2) of C&D debris and solid waste combined so:

(𝟔𝟎𝟎 𝒇𝒕𝟐) 𝐱 (𝟒 𝐥𝐛𝐬

𝟏 𝒇𝒕𝟐) = 𝟐, 𝟒𝟎𝟎 𝐥𝐛𝐬

The total pounds of combined C&D debris and solid waste that may be landfilled to qualify for

use of Option 2 for the projects is 2,400 pounds.

Non-residential (commercial) projects are limited to 2 pounds per square foot (lbs/ft2) of C&D

debris and solid waste. If this were a commercial project, the total pounds of combined C&D

and solid waste that may be landfilled to qualify for use of Option 2 would be 1,200 pounds.

(𝟔𝟎𝟎 𝒇𝒕𝟐) 𝐱 (𝟐 𝐥𝐛𝐬

𝟏 𝒇𝒕𝟐) = 𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟎 𝐥𝐛𝐬

Note: With this option, a Waste Management Plan (Option 3) and associated reports are not

needed; however, EMD conducts random audits to ensure the permittee follows the terms of

this option. Keep all receipts until the project receives final sign off by Building Services.

OPTION 3: Waste Management Plan (Self-Hauling Debris to Recycler)

This option is best suited for permittees who would like to self-haul project debris to the

franchise hauler’s materials recovery facility (MRF) or other approved recycling facility. This

option has requirements before, during, and after the project and includes a one-time flat rate

fee of $164 to be paid before the permit is issued. This fee covers staff time to review the

Waste Management Plan (WMP), quarterly reports, and final report on diversion for the

project.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN (WMP): Before the permit for the project is issued, the permittee

must submit a WMP to Environmental Management (EMD) for review and approval. The WMP

must meet the following criteria:

Identify the materials to be recycled, reused, and/or disposed of;

Specify if the materials will be sorted or bulk mixed;

Identify the approved recycling facility(ies) where the C&D debris will be taken;

Identify planning/methods used to reduce the amount of C&D debris generated; and

Identify whether the amount of C&D debris will be calculated by weight or volume, but not by both.

REPORTING: This option requires the permittee to submit Quarterly C&D Debris Recycling

Reports throughout the duration of the project and a Project Final C&D Debris Recycling Report

which identifies the total percentage of C&D debris diverted from landfills for the whole project

to EMD for review. Recycling, reuse, and disposal receipts must be submitted to EMD for each

quarter with the Quarterly C&D Debris Recycling Report. Note: If the project is complete

within the first quarter, only a 1st Quarter C&D Debris Recycling Report will be required to be

submitted to EMD. It will serve as the final report too.

The WMP and report templates are available on EMD’s website:

http://www.edcgov.us/Government/EMD/SolidWaste/Construction_and_Demolition_Debris_R

ecycling.aspx

The WMP and all reports can be e-mailed to EMD at CandD@edcgov.us or brought into the

Community Development Agency office at 2850 Fairlane Court, Building C, Placerville, CA

95667.

For a step by step guide on how to complete the Waste Management Plan and Reports see

page 9 of this guidebook.

OPTION 4: Pre-Approved Projects That Do Not Generate Significant Amounts of

Debris

The C&D Debris Recycling Ordinance includes a list of exempted projects. Additionally, EMD, in

collaboration with the Community Development Agency Building Services Division, has

developed a list of projects that reliably meet the Waste Stream Reduction Alternative (Option

2). Projects that can use Option 4 for C&D Debris Recycling Ordinance Compliance include:

Updated December 2016 6 of 31

1. Projects that do NOT require a building permit

2. Commercial additions less than or equal to 1,000 sq. ft.*

3. Commercial alterations with permit valuation less than or equal to $200,000*

4. Renovations/remodel/alterations of residential buildings where the

renovation/remodel/alteration does not increase the building’s conditioned area,

volume, or size (except roof replacement projects)**

5. Construction of new decks (deck covers included), NOT replacement decks

6. New pool construction on a developed parcel with an existing building or structure

7. Electrical only permits

8. Mechanical only permits

9. Plumbing only permits

10. Solar only permits

11. Sign only permits

12. New hardships (placement of new), NOT demolition of old

13. New manufactured homes, NOT demolition of old

14. Towers, new AND demolition of old (towers are metal which is recyclable and the

companies re-use the materials on other projects)

* Effective 1/1/2017, these projects are no longer exempted by CalGreen and will have to

elect one of the other options described above.

** Currently, there is not a local recycling market for roofing tear off materials. Until, a

local market is established, re-roof projects may be included under Option 4.

Updated December 2016 7 of 31

At the end of the Building Permit Application, the applicant signs that they agree to comply

with all applicable city and county ordinances and state laws relating to building construction.

The permittee is responsible for meeting the requirements of the County C&D Debris

Recycling Ordinance.

Once the Building Permit Application and WMP (if applicable) is/are complete, it/they must be

submitted to the Community Development Agency’s Building Services. Building Services staff

will evaluate the project and whether your selection in Part 1, Section 6 of the application

requires review by EMD. Options 1, 2, and 3 require review by EMD.

Detailed Guide on Option 3: Waste Management Plan & Reporting

Completing the Waste Management Plan

The applicant must complete a Waste Management Plan (WMP) which includes all the details

required by the C&D Debris Recycling Ordinance and CalGreen:

Identify the materials to be recycled, reused, and/or disposed of;

Specify if the materials will be sorted or bulk mixed;

Identify the approved recycling facility(ies) where the C&D debris will be taken;

Identify planning/methods used to reduce the amount of C&D debris generated; and

Identify whether the amount of C&D debris will be calculated by weight or volume, but not by both.

EMD has created a one page WMP template (front and back) although it may not be comprehensive enough for more complex projects. In such cases, we encourage you to submit additional information to effectively provide the details of the debris management for your project. An electronic version of this WMP template is available on the EMD website: http://www.edcgov.us/EMD/SolidWaste/Construction_and_Demolition_Debris_Recycling.aspx This version can be filled out using a computer and submitted to EMD via e-mail to CandD@edcgov.us. Versions of all documents to fill out by hand are available on this site as well.

EMD will review the WMP and either approve it, or respond with comments and/or questions.

Completing the Quarterly C&D Debris Recycling Report

Permittees who choose Option 3 must complete a “Quarterly Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Report” and submit copies of recycling/disposal receipts for each quarter. This report requires the following information (the bulleted numbers correspond to the numbers on the Quarterly Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Report Form for reference):

1. Permitee’s Name: Write the name of the permittee for the project.

2. Permitee’s Phone Number: Fill in the permittee's phone number.

3. Project Address: Fill in the project address.

4. Project Parcel Number: Fill in the project parcel number.

5. Quarter Number: Identify which quarter of the project the specific report is for. Example: If the project has gone one year and one quarter, it would be quarter 5.

6. Project Permit Number: Fill in the project permit number.

7. Receipt date: The receipt date can be found on the receipt for the delivery of the C&D debris to an approved recycling facility or other facility. All C&D debris removed from

Updated December 2016 9 of 31

the project must be documented on a receipt which is provided to EMD with this report. Note: Only C&D debris taken to approved recycling facilities receive credit for recycling or reuse (diversion from landfill).

8. C&D Debris Management Facility Name: Select/enter the C&D debris management facility name (drop down list provided on the on-line report form). Note: Only C&D debris taken to approved recycling facilities receive credit for recycling or reuse (diversion from landfill).

9. Recycling Rate: Each C&D debris management facility receives credit for diversion from landfill based on their overall facility diversion rates. This is the "recycling rate" that needs to be noted in the form. Only C&D debris taken to approved recycling facilities receive credit for recycling or reuse (diversion from landfill). All other facilities have a "recycling rate" of 0%. If you are filling the report out by hand, reference the recycling rates on page 2 of the report. If you are using the electronic form, this value populates automatically when you select an approved recycling facility on the pre-approved list.

10. Types of Debris Delivered: Note the type of C&D debris that is delivered to the C&D debris management facility. A drop down menu is provided on the electronic version of this report form. Note: If the item(s) you have are not listed, choose an item which most closely matches the type of material your item(s) are comprised of (Example: for appliances select “metal scrap”, for cabinets select “wood scrap loose”). If you are filling this report by hand, you’ll have to reference the conversion factors provided in Appendix 3 of the C&D Debris Recycling Guidebook.

11. Volume (Cubic Yards): Some facilities will note the amount of C&D debris delivered in volume instead of tons or weight on the receipt. If this is the case, please note the volume (cubic yards) reported on the receipt in column #11. Note: A standard truck bed volume is approximately 2.5 cubic yards. The electronic version of the report form automatically calculates the tons and the amount diverted based on the C&D material processing facility's diversion rate. If a weight is reported on the receipt instead of volume, leave this space blank and enter the tons (1 ton = 2000 pounds) in column # 12.

12. Total Tons: The total amount of C&D debris delivered (including garbage or debris taken to non-approved recycling facilities) must be reported on this form in tons. If the receipt notes the debris amount in tons, enter the tons in column 12. If the receipt does not report in tons, it must be calculated and placed in this form either using column #11 which converts volume to tons via a formula built into the report form (see the description for #11 above), or, if the receipt notes that amount in pounds, you will have to calculate the tons (1 ton = 2,000 pounds). Example calculations are provided below. For a volume to weight conversion sheet see Appendix 3 of this guidebook. Conversion factors are also available on the following CalRecycle webpage: http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/LGCentral/Library/DSG/ICandD.htm

Updated December 2016 10 of 31

EXAMPLE CALCULATIONS

Scenario: 3 cubic yards (yards3) of whole bricks were delivered to a debris management facility which does not have a scale. The total tons of whole bricks needs to be calculated from cubic yard (yards3) of whole bricks.

The conversion sheet in Appendix 3 states that 1 yard3 of whole bricks = 3,024 pounds (lbs) of whole bricks. Also, you know 1 ton = 2,000 pounds. You’ll need these two constants to do the calculations. Set the calculations up so that the units you don’t want cancel out (shown below with strike through):

Calculations:

(𝟑 𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬𝟑 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬) 𝐱 (𝟑, 𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐥𝐛𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬

𝟏 𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝𝟑 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬) 𝐱 (

𝟏 𝐭𝐨𝐧

𝟐, 𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐥𝐛𝐬) = 𝟒. 𝟓 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬

Note that the units remaining are “tons of whole bricks” which is what needs to reported. This is the value that needs to go into column 12.

13. The Tons Recycled: This value equals the "recycling rate" (value in column 9) multiplied by the "total tons" (value in column 12).

EXAMPLE CALCULATIONS

Scenario: 4.5 tons of whole bricks were delivered to an approved recycling facility that has a recycle rate of 75%. How many tons of whole bricks were recycled?

Calculations:

(𝟒. 𝟓 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬) 𝐱 (𝟎. 𝟕𝟓) = 𝟑. 𝟕𝟓 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐝

Example Calculation: (A ÷ B) x 100 = %

**Garbage includes anything that will not be recycled, reused, or repurposed.

EMD encourages you to complete these reports electronically: An electronic

version of the Quarterly Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Report is available on the EMD website: http://www.edcgov.us/Government/EMD/SolidWaste/Construction_and_Demolition_Debris_Recycling.aspx The electronic version automatically completes calculations for you. If you do not have a computer and would like to use this electronic version, computers are available in the Community Development Agency building lobby or at the County Library. The electronic version can be saved and submitted to EMD via e-mail to CandD@edcgov.us. EMD will review these reports and provide guidance to the permittee if it appears that the

minimum 50%* diversion for the whole project is in jeopardy of not being met. Together, the

permittee and EMD can discuss options to ensure the 50%* minimum diversion is met in future

quarters; therefore, fixing any issues before it is too late.

* Effective 1/1/2017, per CalGreen, the minimum diversion rate will increase from 50% to 65%.

Updated December 2016 13 of 31

6. Quarter: The rows in this column identify the quarter which the information is from.

7. Total Tons Removed from the Project for the Corresponding Quarter (Excluding Garbage**): Fill in the total tons of C&D debris removed from the project for each quarter (excluding garbage**). If you've completed the C&D Debris Quarterly Diversion Reports, this total is already calculated (in row 14 on that report) and simply needs to be placed into this form for each respective quarter.

8. Total Tons Removed from the Project for the Corresponding Quarter (Including Garbage**): Fill in the total tons of C&D debris removed from the project for each quarter (including garbage**). If you've completed the C&D Debris Quarterly Diversion Reports, this total is already calculated (in row 15 on that report) and simply needs to be placed into this form for each respective quarter.

9. Percent C&D Debris Recycling for the Quarter: If you've completed the C&D Debris Quarterly Diversion Reports, this value is already calculated (in row 16 on that report) and simply needs to be placed into this form for each respective quarter. This value is calculated by dividing the "Total Tons Removed from the Project for the Quarter (excluding garbage**)" (column 1) divided by the "Total Tons Removed from the Project in the Quarter (including garbage**)" (column 2) and multiplying the result by 100. Example: ( Column 1 value ÷ Column 2 value ) x 100 = % C&D debris diversion for the quarter.

10. A = Total Tons Removed from the Project (Excluding Garbage**): This value is calculated by adding all the values in “column 1” of this report.

11. B = Total Tons Removed from the Project (Including Garbage**): This value is calculated by adding all the values in “column 2” of this report.

12. Percent C&D Debris Recycled for the Project: This value is calculated by dividing the value in row 10 (A = total tons removed from the project (excluding garbage**)) by the value in row 11 (B = total tons removed from the project (including garbage**)) multiplied by 100.

Example Calculation: (A ÷ B) x 100 = %

**Garbage includes anything that will not be recycled, reused, or repurposed.

Updated December 2016 14 of 31

EMD must receive, review, and approve all the reports to be sure that 50%* or more of the

C&D debris from the project was diverted from being landfilled before compliance can be

determined.

* Effective 1/1/2017, per CalGreen, the minimum diversion rate will increase from 50% to 65%.

WMP Processing Fee: Option 3 requires significant more staff time to review the WMP,

quarterly report(s), and project final report. To cover staff time, there is a one-time flat rate fee

of $164 included with the building permit fees. When the applicant chooses this option for

complying with the County C&D Recycling Ordinance this fee will be applied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’S)

1. What types of debris from C&D projects are recyclable? The most common recyclable C&D materials are: concrete, non-treated wood, drywall,

metals, cardboard, plastics, and copper insulated wires. Reusable items include doors,

windows, fixtures, cabinets, etc.

Note: South Tahoe Refuse (STR) does not recycle old drywall/sheetrock as this material may

contain asbestos. Also, there is no market for recycling asphalt roofing tiles so they cannot

be recycled at this time. Staff is researching available markets.

2. What resources are available to assist in completion of my Waste Management Plan

(WMP) and reports?

This guidebook includes resources to help you complete your WMP and reports. Please

questions require a more thorough review and assistance by EMD Staff (example: you need

help figuring out what C&D debris will be generated and where to take them), an hourly

rate fee may be charged. The hourly rate fee can be found here:

https://www.edcgov.us/Government/EMD/Administration/EMD_Fees.aspx

3. What time frame can I expect EMD to complete review the Construction and Demolition

Debris Recycling portion of the Building Permit Application (Part 1, Section 6)?

EMD strives to review your application and Waste Management Plan (if applicable) at their

earliest convenience. Many will be able to be completed “at the counter” but some may

require additional information to be provided.

Appendix 2: Approved Recycling Facilities Only Approved Recycling Facilities listed here will be granted "recycling or reuse" credit toward

the 50%* diversion. If you believe that the C&D Management Facility you plan to use should be

an "Approved Recycling Facility", you're welcome to submit a justification statement to

Environmental Management for review. On the first page of your WMP, select “other” as the

C&D debris management facility for the debris type and write/type the facility name into the

field. Attach to your WMP a justification including the facility name, address, phone number,

and description of the debris you plan to take there. EMD will contact the facility and review

their business operations to determine if they meet the recycling diversion requirements. This

may delay your WMP review time.

* Effective 1/1/2017, per CalGreen, the minimum diversion rate will increase from 50% to 65%.

If an El Dorado County franchise waste hauler will be used, it must be the franchise hauler local to the area the project is taking place. A map of franchise areas is included in this guidebook, page 18 and on-line at: http://www.edcgov.us/EMD/SolidWaste/Solid_Waste_Franchise_Area_Map.aspx
