HomeMy WebLinkAboutInformational Item - Update of CVAG Model Construction & Demolition Debris OrdinanceCITY OF PALM DESERT COMMUNITY SERVICES STAFF REPORT REQUEST: INFORMATION REGARDING A CVAG MODEL ORDINANCE REQUIRING THE RECYCLING OF 50% OF WASTE MATERIAL CREATED FROM NEW CONSTRUCTION, REMODELING AND DEMOLITION WITHIN THE COACHELLA VALLEY SUBMITTED BY: Robert Kohn, Director of Special Programs DATE: December 9, 2004 CONTENTS: CVAG Model Construction and Demolition Recycling Ordinance Recommendation Informational Item Only Executive Summary At the City Council's direction, staff has been working to increase the amount of diversion of waste materials being deposited in the landfill. To move in this direction, one of the tasks staff has been working on is a model Construction & Demolition (C&D) ordinance with CVAG through the Solid Waste Technical Advisory Group. Representatives from member cities, Waste Management, and the Building Industry Association (BIA) have worked for the past several months developing a model ordinance. Working with CVAG was paramount to addressing concerns of BIA members in regards to having different ordinances throughout the valley. The recycling, reuse, and reduction of construction and demolition material is one more step to maintain or exceed mandated diversion requirements and addressing an area that produces tons of unrecycled Grade "A" materials. Discussion Independent of the CVAG process, City staff met with BIA representatives, Waste Management of the Desert, and others regarding a proposed C&D recycling ordinance. The ordinance has been modified after these and subsequent CVAG discussions in an effort to address some of the issues brought forward. Samples from eight other local government jurisdictions were reviewed and studied as well as considerable information obtained from the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), which assisted in the development of the attached model C&D ordinance. CVAG Model C&D Recycling Ordinance December 9, 2004 Page 2 of 2 Staff is working with Waste Management to address the needs of contractors as expressed by the BIA and others. The ability to mix material types is one area being explored. Another option being reviewed is compartmentalized containers that would allow the separation of more than one material type at a time. Both of these items would assist the contractors in their diversion efforts by eliminating the need for multiple containers for each material type while saving valuable time in the delivery and pickup of the various bins. Staff is in contact with the CIWMB in regards to "free" training for contractors, developers, City staff, and individuals involved in construction and demolition activities. There is the potential of diverting a significant amount of material through this program, and with proper training, would create a savings for the contractors and subcontractors. Once CVAG has adopted the model C&D recycling ordinance, it will be up to each City to adopt this ordinance with specific amendments by each city. As an example, the limit for the deposit is set at $50,000 with projects under 500 square feet being exempt. A City may want to increase or decrease the dollar amount or the square footage requirements. Once CVAG and the cities have completed the final version of the C&D model ordinance, it will be brought before the City Council with suggested amendments geared for Palm Desert. The Development Services Division is currently reviewing the CVAG model ordinance. It should be noted that this would be a program that a consultant could assist in implementing.

Section X.XX.110 Reporting: 1. To the extent practical, all construction and demolition waste shall be weighed in compliance with all regulatory requirements for accuracy and maintenance. For construction and demolition waste for which weighing is not practical due to small size or other considerations, a volumetric measurement shall be used. For conversion of volumetric measurements to weight, the applicant shall use the standardized conversion rates approved by the City for this purpose. 2. Throughout the duration of the project the Applicant is required to submit documentation to the Compliance Official that proves compliance with the requirements of Section X.XX.040 and Section X.XX.070. The documentation shall consist of monthly updates showing waste tonnage data, total tonnage, tonnage diverted, and tonnage landfilled supported by original or certified photocopies of receipts and weight tags or other records of measurement from recycling companies, deconstruction contractors, and/or landfill and disposal companies. Receipts and weight tags will be used to verify whether waste generated from the Covered Project has been or is being recycled, reused, salvaged or disposed. The Applicant shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that all designated recyclable and reuse waste salvaged or disposed are measured and recorded using the most accurate method of measurement available. 3.

The decision made by the City Manager or designee shall be final. Section X.XX.150 Option to Revise: Annually, the City will evaluate the Recycling and Diversion of Construction and Demolition Waste Ordinance to determine its effectiveness in reducing the amount of C&D waste disposed. In this determination, the City will consider issues such as the amount of C&D waste disposed, volume of C&D activity, markets for C&D waste, and other barriers encountered by applicants. If the City determines the C&D disposed had the potential for diversion, then the City may amend these provisions and implement the necessary measures to divert more C&D waste. Section X.XX.160 Violations a Public Nuisance: Each violation of the provisions of this chapter shall constitute a public nuisance and be subject to abatement as such, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter X.XX.20 of this Code.
