OP-24: Construction and Demolition Waste Diversion

Following is the Construction Waste Management Plan set forth by UNH Facilities for construction of the Paul College of Business and Economics: Paul College of Business and Economics University of New Hampshire Construction Waste Management Plan PC Construction Company (PCC) is committed to the following Construction Waste Management Plan as a means to ensure that a minimal amount of waste debris is disposed of in a landfill, and that all the LEED requirements for Construction Waste Management MR Credit 2.1 and 2.2 are met. PCC is responsible for the overall implementation and assurance that the standards of this plan are met; however, it cannot be done without the full cooperation of every subcontractor and tradesperson involved in the Paul College Construction Project. Scope: PC Construction will adhere to the LEED credit MR 2.1 and 2.2 requirements for Construction Waste Management, and will provide the following: • Documentation that at least 75% of all waste generated during the construction phase of this project was diverted from a landfill, and recycled. • Waste reduction calculations for end of project recycling rates, salvage rates, and landfill rates demonstrating that at least 75% of the construction waste is recycled or salvaged. • LEED letter template for credits MR 2.1 and 2.2 in accordance with USGBC requirements signed by PCC. PC Construction will be responsible for the Construction Waste Management Plan (CWMP) in conjunction with its subcontractors. All subcontractors shall comply with the CWMP as it applies to each trade. PC will track the subs conformance to this plan at our weekly subcontractor meetings. All superintendents and/or foreman will provide training to their employees to ensure procedures are followed. PC Construction will provide separate containers for the following debris: • Wood • Metals • Cardboard • General Debris • Concrete, Masonry, & Asphalt • Sheetrock Each worker on the project site will be responsible for disposing of waste materials in the proper container. All containers will be clearly marked for proper materials. PC Construction will monitor containers to ensure materials are being discarded in the proper containers. Waste Management will provide tracking documentation to PC Construction after each dumpster has been switched out. A monthly summary will be provided to PCC and will be available for review by all members of the project team. 131 Presumpscot Street, Portland, ME 04103 207.874.2323 www.pizzagalli.com  Implementation: PC Construction Company has contracted with Waste Management to provide waste disposal services. The construction debris produced from the Paul College project will be hauled to the following locations and. • Wood – Turnkey Recycling Facility Rochester, NH or ERRCO Epping, NH • Metals – New England Metal Recycling Madbury, NH • Cardboard : Turnkey Recycling Facility Rochester, NH • General Debris (comingled) : Turnkey Recycling Facility Rochester, NH • Concrete, Masonry, & Asphalt : Turnkey Recycling Facility Rochester, NH or ERRCO Epping, NH • Sheetrock – Georgia Pacific Newington, NH Waste Management will submit monthly tracking logs detailing weight percentages of each type of waste. A copy of the manifest for each dumpster dumped will also be submitted to PC Construction each time a dumpster leaves the jobsite. We will also be one of the first construction companies to use their automated online system that posts all of the weight tickets to a server for access. Waste Management will provide containers to recycle waste wood, metal, cardboard, concrete, sheetrock, and general debris. Waste Management will provide containers that will properly protect waste material that needs to be protected from the weather in order to be recycled. Waste Management will also provide a general debris dumpster that will be used for disposing non:recyclable items such as food waste, plastics, insulation, and other items. It is estimated that this project could generate 850 tons of waste debris with at least 75% of this material being recycled to a certified recycling facility. A final accounting of this material, along with all material for the project will be submitted to the Architect, in the final (CWMP) report. Appendix # 1 documents all materials to be recycled, and end use of these recycled materials. Quality Assurance PC Construction will have the responsibility to oversee the waste management plan. PCC personal will regularly review site conditions and review waste containers to ensure proper materials are discarded in proper locations. Corrective actions will be taken for any non:conformance. UNH, Goody Clancy, or any members of the project team can review containers to ensure compliance. Weight slips and records from Waste Management will be kept of all containers that leave the site. Subcontractors will have the responsibility to ensure they are following the (CWMP), and are the first line of quality control. Subcontractors will have the responsibility to ensure their crews are properly trained on the plan and disposing of waste properly. Paul College of Business and Economics University of New Hampshire Construction Waste Management Plan Appendix #1 – End Use of Recycled Materials • Clean Wood is separated for recycling (chipped, burned for fuel, or turned to mulch), and what cannot be reused is brought to a certified landfill. • Metals are sorted and sold to various metal recycling facilities. • Cardboard will be shredded for use as mulch, or burned as fuel. • Comingled debris and containers would be sorted and sold to various recycling facilities. • Concrete, Masonry, & Asphalt will be processed and used as either clean fill or trucked to E.R.R.C.O. to be used to maintain roads in the landfill. • Drywall is recycled and used to make new.
