Documentation: Prior to construction, the builder, developer, or project team must submit a debris recovery plan that includes anticipated debris streams, method of documentation, and the planned hauler or facility. The Rater will submit this form to Build It Green with the initial project application. Acceptable forms of this plan include any one of the following:
� �
DRAFT
The completed Pre-Construction Debris Recovery Plan worksheet A C & D form required by an enforcing agency( as referred to in CalGreen) or regularly used by the builder, dated within one year of the construction start date
After construction, the builder must provide the Rater with a report( that is, a Post-Construction Debris Recovery Statement or equivalent C & D documentation) documenting the achieved diversion rates. Supporting documentation may include any of the following as appropriate:
� � � �
Hauler load tags Project waste tabulation, supplied by the local waste authority Diversion / waste facility receipts Average recycling rates for the local facility from the local waste authority
