Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
For the purposes of this Article, the following definitions
					 shall apply. Additional definitions that apply to this Article are found at
					 California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 3, Article
					 6, sections
					 17402 and
					 17402.5, and Article 4, section
					 17225 and Title 27, Division 2,
					 Chapter 2, Articles 1, and 2.
(a)
				  "C&D" means construction and demolition, as in the term "C&D
				  waste".
(b) "CDI" means any
				  combination of construction and demolition waste and inert debris.
(c) "Construction and Demolition Waste" or
				  "C&D Waste" means the nonhazardous waste building materials, packaging and
				  rubble resulting from construction, remodeling, repair and demolition
				  operations on pavements, houses, commercial buildings and other
				  structures.
(d) "CDI Waste Disposal
				  Facility" means a facility at which C&D waste, C&D waste together with
				  inert debris (Type A or B) or inert debris (Type B) only is disposed.
(e) "Disposal" means the final deposition of
				  C&D waste or inert debris onto land.
(f) "EA" means enforcement agency as defined
				  in PRC section
				  40130.
(g) "Engineered Fill Activity" means fill
				  that has been designed by an engineer to act as a structural element of a
				  constructed work and has been placed under engineering inspection, usually with
				  density testing. An engineered fill activity shall meet specifications prepared
				  and certified for a specific project by a Civil Engineer, Certified Engineering
				  Geologist, or similar professional licensed by the State of California, and
				  includes requirements for placement, geometry, material, compaction and quality
				  control.
(h) "Fill" means gravel,
				  rock, soil, sand, uncontaminated concrete, or fully cured asphalt in
				  conjunction with a construction project or grading.
(i) "Fully Cured Asphalt" means that the
				  material must be at ambient temperature, be substantially hardened and be
				  inelastic.
(j) "Grading" means any
				  land excavation, filling, earth moving or combination thereof.
(k) "Inert Debris" means solid waste and
				  recyclable materials that are source separated or separated for reuse and do
				  not contain hazardous waste (as defined in CCR, Title 22, section
				  66261.3 et. seq.) or soluble
				  pollutants at concentrations in excess of applicable water quality. Inert
				  debris may not contain any putrescible wastes. Gravel, rock, soil, sand and
				  similar materials whether processed or not, that have never been used in
				  connection with any structure, development, grading or other similar human
				  purpose, or that are uncontaminated, are not inert debris. Such materials may
				  be commingled with inert debris.
(1) "Type A
				  inert debris" includes but is not limited to concrete (including fiberglass or
				  steel reinforcing bar embedded in the concrete), fully cured asphalt, crushed
				  glass, fiberglass, asphalt or fiberglass roofing shingles, brick, slag,
				  ceramics, plaster, clay and clay products. Type A inert debris is waste that
				  does not contain soluble pollutants at concentrations in excess of water
				  quality objectives and has not been treated in order to reduce such pollutants.
				  The board, upon consultation with the State Water Resources Control Board, will
				  determine on a case by case basis whether materials not listed in this
				  subdivision qualify as Type A inert debris. The board and the State Water
				  Resources Control Board may consider statewide and site-specific factors in
				  making this determination.
(2)
				  "Type B inert debris" is solid waste that is specifically determined to be
				  inert by the applicable RWQCB, such as treated industrial wastes and de-watered
				  bentonite-based drilling mud, but excluding Type A inert
				  debris.
