(A) During demolition or construction, the Compliance Official may inspect project sites to determine compliance with the waste reduction and recycling plan. The applicant, if requested, must supply written proof of compliance with its waste reduction and recycling plan within five business days. Failure to comply with the waste reduction and recycling plan during construction or demolition is a violation of this chapter, and in addition to any other penalty and/or remedy, shall be grounds for issuance of a “stop work” order and/or issuance of an administrative citation. Each day that the applicant fails to comply with the requirements of this chapter constitutes a separate offense.
(B) Applicants shall submit proof of compliance with this chapter on a quarterly basis during construction and/or demolition as well as at the end of the project to demonstrate compliance with the project’s waste reduction and recycling plan. If a project involves both demolition and construction, the report and documentation for the demolition project must be submitted and approved by the Compliance Official before issuance of a building permit for the construction project. Quarterly reports shall be submitted each April 30, July 30, October 30, and January 30 (or as determined by the Compliance Official) and are to cover the previous three calendar months (January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December). End of project reports are to be submitted at the end of the project as a precedent to final inspection and certificate of occupancy. Proof of compliance to be submitted with quarterly and end of project reports shall include:
(1) Submittal of a completed city-provided waste reduction and recycling report.
(2) Receipts from the vendor or facility which collected or received each material showing the actual weight or volume of that material (recyclables and solid waste). Each receipt must clearly state the project title and date. If the receipt provides information for multiple projects, the project titles and the amounts of material for each project must be clearly identified.
(3) Weight slips/count of material salvaged or reused in the project. Each receipt must clearly state the project title and date. If the receipt provides information for multiple projects, the project titles and the amounts of material for each project must be clearly identified.
(4) Any additional information the Compliance Official reasonably determines is needed to demonstrate compliance with the applicant’s approved waste reduction and recycling plan.
