(a) Applicants for any covered project shall complete and submit a WMP on a form approved by the City of as part of the application submittal requirements for a building, grading, demolition or similar permit. The WMP shall include an acknowledgement of responsibility that the Applicant understands the consequences of not meeting the 65% diversion requirement and that the Applicant is responsible for the actions of its contractors and other agents with regard to the diversion requirement. The Applicant will acknowledge this responsibility and indicate so by their signature on the WMP.
(b) In preparing the WMP, applicants for permits involving the removal of all or part of an existing facility, structure or improvement shall deconstruct, to the maximum extent feasible, and shall make the materials generated thereby available for salvage. Reuse will be considered as diversion for the purposes of complying with this Chapter. Applicants shall specify materials designated for reuse, whether on-site or at another site, in the WRAP, and shall specify the proposed method of reuse.
(c) Review of a WMP at Permit Issuance. No building, grading, demolition or similar permit shall be issued for any covered project, nor shall any demolition, construction or renovation take place on any covered project, unless and until the Compliance Official approves the WMP. Approval shall not be required, however, when the City determines an emergency demolition is required to protect public health or safety. A WMP shall receive approval only when the Compliance Official determines that the following conditions have been met:
(1) The WMP provides all of the information requested on the form; and
(2) The WMP indicates how 65% or more of all C&D debris generated by the project will be diverted.
If the Compliance Official determines that these two conditions have been met, the WMP shall be marked as "Approved" and a copy of the WMP returned to the Applicant.
(d) Review - "Further Explanation Required". If the Compliance Official determines that the WMP does not comply with the provisions this Section the Compliance Official shall return the WMP to the applicant marked "Further Explanation Required."
