ESI’s comprehensive program addresses all of the requirements to achieve LEED

credits for diverting construction and demolition waste from the landfill or incinerator.

The program begins with the establishment of diversion goals and the creation of a

Construction Waste Management Plan (CWMP) that describes the recycling methodology for

the project. ESI will then implement innovative recycling methods to achieve the goals in

accordance with the CWMP and provide the attendant documentation required by LEED.

ESI personnel will coordinate the construction waste management efforts with the

project’s LEED® coordinator throughout the construction process.

The following outline summarizes the features of ESI’s LEED construction waste

management program:

I. Plan meetings to determine LEED® goals on a project specific basis.

II. Develop a project specific construction and demolition waste management

plan to maximize recycling in a cost-effective manner.

III. Waste management program implementation, including onsite waste

management infrastructure development, employee training and targetedmaterials’ management for recovery or reuse of specific materials.

IV. Submit monthly reports and documentation. Templates of these reports

are included in this manual.

V. Innovative waste reuse and recovery initiatives, including ESI’s single-stream

offsite sorting program.

This program manual also includes a description of the current governmental

and institutional initiatives to promote LEED® certification in the Washington, D.C./Virginia/

Maryland region, helping to keep you abreast of the dynamic demand for LEED compliant

services.

INNOVATIVE RECYCLING APPROACH

Our company’s 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.

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 spurrecycling 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 acombination of automated and manual methods. Materials that are collected include, but are

not limited to, the following:

Brick Concrete Asphalt

Metal (ferrous & non-ferrous) Plastics (1-7) Wood

Dirt Cardboard Carpeting

Gypsum drywall (sheetrock) Ceiling tiles 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•




Burgeoning Markets for New Materials

Additional materials are frequently added to the list of recyclable materials in this

region. Some of the recently added materials that are being recovered in this region include

the following:

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.

Construction & Demolition Waste Management Plan Table of Contents




The following plan provides an overview of construction and demolition wastemanagement 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 Council’s 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) 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 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.

nWa s t e

This plan is being submitted for construction operations being performed on the

Green Building in Washington, DC. The site is bounded by Environmental Highway 100 to

the West and the Green Proving Grounds property to the North and South. The proposed

disturbed area is approximately 20 acres of a 1,200 acre parcel that is currently owned by the

United States of America.

Sustainable Builders will be responsible for the handling and disposal of

miscellaneous debris that may be encountered throughout the property during development.

The types of job wastes that will be generated are expected to include the following:

Land Clearing Debris Asphalt Concrete

Metal (ferrous) Metal (non-ferrous) Plastic

Wood Gypsum Paper

Carpeting & padding Ceiling tiles Insulation

Cardboad

II. IDENTIFY TARGET MATERIALSII. IDENTIFY TARGET MATERIALS

1.02 Site Description

2.01 Analysis of Job Site Waste Generated




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 refusedelivery 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.

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 isfeasible 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 ESI’s 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 firstgenerated 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.




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•

3.03 On-Site Waste Log

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.

IV. SUBCONTRACTOR ORIENTATION

Prior to commencement of work for each construction package, Sustainable Builders

will schedule and conduct a meeting with the Contracting Officer to discuss the proposedWaste 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 week-

ly field meetings.

4.01 Preconstruction Meetings




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 subcontractor’s expense. Also, each week

the subcontractors will participate in a composite crew for clean-up. The number of work-

ers 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.

4.03 Clean Up

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. Thegeneral 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.

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.

4.02 Task Requirements/Documentation

V. MONITORING REPORTS

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 bylandfill 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.

5.01 Record Keeping

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.

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES

Federal agencies and local governments have passed legislation and adopted

policies to mandate or incentivize the use of LEED standards in new construction and

major renovation projects. At the current rate that these initiatives are beingpromulgated, Green Building will become the standard rather than the exception.

The following list details these policies and legislative initiatives in the Mid-Atlantic

region. The dynamic world of Green Building presents LEED-related legislative

developments on a frequent basis. The following information is accurate through the

publication date of this document. Please see Appendix 2, Additional Resources, for

the latest updates in LEED-related developments.

State and Local Governmental Initiatives (Mid-Atlantic Region)

Jurisdiction Legislative Initiative

State of Maryland All new state buildings, and major renovations of existing

state buildings, that are 7,500 square feet or greater

(including university building projects) must meet the LEED

Silver standard; 2) beginning July 2009, all new K-12 public

schools must meet the LEED Silver standard.

Baltimore County, MD On June 5, 2006, the County Council passed Bill # 85-06 that

gives a county property tax credit to any commercial building

that achieves LEED for New Construction Silver certification.The duration of the tax credit is for ten consecutive years.

Baltimore City, MD On August 14, 2007, Mayor Dixon signed into law Council Bill

07-0602 amending the Baltimore City Revised Code to require

all city and city-funded projects greater than 10,000 square

feet budgeted or permitted before July 1, 2009 to achieve a

minimum of LEED Certified of the appropriate LEED

Rating System. All city and city-funded buildings greater than

10,000 square feet budgeted for FY 2010 or permitted after

July 1, 2009 will be required to earn a minimum of LEED Silver

certification. The building official is directed to deny

occupancy permits and certificates of completion for

noncompliant projects. Successful achievement of energy

and environmental design standards deemed by the city

building official to be equivalent to the minimum required

levels of LEED are in compliance with this code.

State and Local Governmental Initiatives (Mid-Atlantic Region) Jurisdiction Legislative Initiative

Prince George’s County,

MD

January 2008, the County Executive signs order to establish

incentives for both new and existing private commercialbuildings to achieve LEED Silver rating.

Howard County, MD On July 30, 2007, Howard County passed Bill #47-2008,

requiring all civic construction (new construction, major

renovation and core and shell) to achieve LEED Silver. Private

construction greater than 50,000 squared feet is required to

achieve LEED certification. Projects seeking LEED Gold or

Platinum enjoy expedited permitting. On the same day, Bill

#49-2007 established a tax credit against taxes imposed on

LEED-NC and LEED-CS certified buildings for five years: 25percent for LEED Silver, 50 percent for LEED Gold and 75

percent for LEED Platinum. County tax credits for buildings

certified under LEED for Existing Buildings extend for three

years: 10 percent for LEED Silver, 25 percent for LEED Gold

and 50 percent for LEED Platinum. These tax credits will be

available for tax years beginning after June 30, 2008.

Montgomery County, MD On November 28, 2006, the County Council approved

Bill #17-06 requiring publicly-financed buildings of at least

10,000 square feet gross floor area to achieve LEED Silver or

an equivalent standard. Private-sector, non-residential ormulti-family residential buildings of at least 10,000 square

feet gross floor area are required to achieve LEED Certified

or an equivalent standard.

Annapolis, MD In January 2008, the County Executive passed a bill to require

all new construction and major renovations to achieve LEED

certification, including single family homes, commercial and

public projects.

Laurel, MD January 2008, the County Executive signs order to establish

incentives for both new and existing private commercial

buildings to achieve LEED Silver rating.





Commonwealth of VA On April 5, 2007 Gov. Tim Kaine signed Executive Order #48,“Energy Efficiency in State Government,” which sets out to

reduce non-renewable energy purchases and increase overall

energy savings. As part of instituting the energy saving goals,

the order instructs all state agencies and institutions

constructing state-owned facilities over 5,000 gross square

feet in size, and renovations of such buildings valued at 50

percent of the assessed building value shall be designed and

constructed consistent with the energy performance

standards at least as stringent as LEED or EPA’s Energy Star

rating. In addition, the order instructs the Commonwealth to

encourage the private sector to adopt energy-efficient

building standards by giving preference when leasing

facilities for state use to facilities meeting LEED or Energy

Star.

Alexandria City, VA The City’s Department of General Services developed a

Green Building Policy which was adopted by the City Man-

ager in February 2004. The policy established procedures for

analyzing LEED feasibility for facilities 5,000 square feet or

greater, outlined staff resource and training goals, and it

identified program participation opportunities, including

Energy Star, Rebuild America, and the USGBC.

Arlington County, VA Arlington County’s Green Building Incentive Program,adopted in 1999 and expanded in 2003, allows commercial

projects and private developments earning LEED Silver

certification to develop sites at a higher density than

conventional projects. All site plan applications for

commercial projects are required to include a LEED

Scorecard and have a LEED Accredited Professional on the

project team regardless of whether or not the project intends

to seek LEED certification. All projects must contribute to a

green building fund for county-wide education and outreach

activities. The contribution is refunded if projects earn LEED

certification. Arlington County sponsors a voluntary green

home program that encourages builders of new single-family

homes to incorporate energy efficient and other green

building components in their projects. The County offers

“front-of-the-line” plan review, site signs, and publicity to

program participants who achieve a given number of points

as outlined by Arlington’s Green Home Choice program.

Washington, DC On December 5, 2006 the Washington, DC City Council

passed Bill # B16-0515 requiring publicly-owned,

non-residential, commercial projects to achieve either LEED

for New Construction or LEED for Core and Shell Silvercertification. After the Summer of 2007 new public schools

will be required to achieve LEED for schools’ certification or

an equivalent schools rating system that requires

commissioning. In 2008, each tenant of a commercial

building that improves a District-owned space of 30,000

square feet or more will be required to achieve LEED for

Commercial Interiors certification.





Washington, DC(Continued)

In 2009, all new construction or major renovations tonon-residential, private buildings 50,000 square feet or more

must submit a green building checklist outlining green

features that will be pursued. After 2012, non-residential and

post-secondary educational facilities shall achieve LEED for

New Construction or LEED for Core and Shell certification.

Bill #B16-0515 also called on the Mayor to establish an

incentive program for private residential and commercial

buildings. Incentives will include an expedited permit review

and may also include grants. The mayor will also establish a

Green Building Fund for technical assistance and

monitoring of green buildings, education, and incentive

funding for private buildings.
