## 1.01 RELATED DOCUMENTS {#related-documents .Style2}

A.  Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General
    and Supplementary Conditions and other Division 1 Specification
    Sections, apply to this Section.

## 1.02 SUMMARY {#summary .Style2}

A.  [Section Includes]{.underline}: Construction waste management
    requirements for all construction, renovation, demolition, repair
    and land clearing project activities. This section defines the
    construction waste management requirements for work conducted at
    SNL, based on waste minimization and diverting construction waste
    from landfill disposal to the extent practical.

    1.  Small construction projects (defined in 1.03) shall segregate
        construction materials and debris as appropriate for disposition
        at the SNL Construction & Demolition Recycle Center located on
        the west side of Building 967, Solid Waste Transfer Facility
        (see Attachment A).

    2.  Infrastructure projects (defined in 1.03) shall, as appropriate,
        segregate scrap metal for recycling, and deliver concrete and
        asphalt to the SNL Concrete and Asphalt Recycle Area (see
        Attachment B).

    3.  Large building construction projects (defined in 1.03) shall
        develop and implement a Construction Waste Management Plan (see
        Attachment C).

B.  Related Sections:

    1.  Division 1, Section 01065, "Environmental, Safety, and Health
        for Construction and Service Contracts"

## 1.03 DEFINITIONS {#definitions .Style2}

A.  Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste (per 20 NMAC 9.1, Solid
    Waste Management): \"construction and demolition debris\" means
    materials generally considered to be not water soluble and
    non-hazardous in nature, including, but not limited to, steel,
    glass, brick, concrete, asphalt roofing materials, pipe, gypsum
    wallboard and lumber from the construction or destruction of a
    structure project, and includes rocks, soil, tree remains, trees and
    other vegetative matter that normally results from land clearing. If
    construction and demolition debris is mixed with any other types of
    solid waste, it loses its classification as construction and
    demolition debris. Construction and demolition debris does not
    include asbestos or liquids including, but not limited to, waste
    paints, solvents, sealers, adhesives or potentially hazardous
    materials.

B.  Clean: Untreated and unpainted; uncontaminated with adhesives, oils,
    solvents, tapes, textures, mastics, and like products.

C.  Disposal: Acceptance of solid wastes at a legally operating facility
    for the purpose of landfilling.

D.  Infrastructure Project: Construction projects involving utility
    supply and distribution systems, central utility plants, roadways,
    site development, parking lots and walkways.

E.  Large Building Construction Project: New building projects
    incorporating SNL required sustainable design measures or pursuing
    certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental
    Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. Such building projects
    typically include Line Item Projects and General Plant Projects.

F.  Non-Construction Waste: Personnel and/or household trash such as
    papers, food containers, beverage containers, and other items not
    resulting from construction activities.

G.  Pollution Prevention (P2) Program: Administers and manages
    activities to reduce waste in Sandia operations, including
    construction and demolition projects.

H.  Recycling: The process of sorting, cleansing, and reconstituting
    materials for the purpose of using the materials in the manufacture
    of a new product.

I.  Reuse: Materials that are recovered for use in the same form, on- or
    off-site.

J.  Salvage: To remove waste materials from the site for resale or reuse
    by a third party.

K.  Sandia Delegated Representative (SDR): Person authorized in the
    Contract to act as delegated Sandia representative for the specific
    purpose of review, inspection, and acceptance of work, and to
    interpret plans, specifications, codes and standards.

L.  Sandia Construction Observer (SCO): SDR's contract field
    representative to monitor, document, and report on the progress,
    quality, and safety of construction work in accordance with contract
    specifications and plans, and applicable codes. The SCO is
    responsible for coordinating outages associated with construction
    activities. The SCO does [not]{.underline} exercise supervision over
    Contractor's employees.

M.  Small Construction Projects: Construction projects other than those
    defined as a Large Building Construction Project or an
    Infrastructure Project. Such projects typically include Facilities
    Express projects, routine maintenance projects, minor walkway or
    parking lot repair projects, etc.

N.  Waste Minimization: Any practice that reduces the amount of waste
    generated prior to recycling or disposal.

        the inevitable waste generated during project activities.

    4.  Waste disposal in landfills shall be minimized to the greatest
        extent possible.

## 3.03 SMALL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS {#small-construction-projects .Style2}

A.  The following procedure shall be implemented for planning and use of
    the Sandia Construction & Demolition (C&D) Recycle Center:

    1.  Review the C&D Recycle Center Disposition Form for a current
        list of recyclable construction waste materials and debris,
        facility hours of operation, facility location, and other
        general information, instructions, and requirements (see
        Attachment A).

    2.  Segregate recyclable construction waste materials and debris and
        non-recyclable waste materials and debris.

    3.  Arrange for transportation of all construction waste materials
        (both recyclable and non-recyclable) to the Sandia C&D Recycle
        Center. C&D Recycle Center personnel will provide assistance for
        unloading into the appropriate containers.

    4.  Provide C&D Recycle Center personnel with applicable project
        information for completion of the C&D Recycle Center Disposition
        Form.

    5.  **NOTE**: If there are no recyclable construction materials
        within a specific load or shipment, that load or shipment shall
        be transported directly to the appropriate landfill for
        disposal.

## 3.04 INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS {#infrastructure-projects .Style2}

##  {#section .Style2}

> A. Follow the processes and procedures described in Attachment B for
> recycling concrete and asphalt, as well as other recyclable materials
> as appropriate. Maintain such processes and procedures throughout the
> life of the project.

## 3.05 LARGE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS {#large-building-construction-projects .Style2}

##  {#section-1 .Style2}

A.  Implement waste management practices and procedures in accordance
    with the approved Construction Waste Management Plan. Maintain such
    practices and procedures throughout the life of the project.

B.  Transportation: Arrange for regular collection, transport from the
    site, and delivery of recyclable waste materials to approved
    recycling centers to keep construction site clear.

C.  On-Site Recordkeeping: Maintain record keeping procedures with
    provisions for:

    1.  Tracking collections of waste materials at the site and
        deliveries to recycling, reuse, salvage, and landfill
        facilities.

    2.  Maintaining on-site logs that include for each load of materials
        removed from the site: type of material, load weight,
        recycling/hauling service, and date accepted by recycling
        service or landfill.

        attachment to the generic Plan template.

    4.  Accessibility to the SCO for verification of construction waste
        recycling. Legible copies of on-site logs, manifests, weight
        tickets, and receipts. Manifests shall be from recycling and
        disposal site operators that can legally accept the materials
        for the purpose of recycling, reuse, salvage, or disposal.

> D. Contamination: Prevent contamination of recyclable waste materials.
> Remove any contamination inadvertently deposited in recyclable waste
> material containers. Provide cleanup of excessive contamination at
