(A) Except as otherwise specified in this chapter, each building or demolition permit applicant for a Covered Project shall submit a Waste Management Plan (WMP) on a form provided by the City concurrent with a building or demolition permit application. No permit of exemption shall be issued for a Covered Project without an approved WMP by the Director of Public Works or their designee.
(B) A complete WMP shall contain the following information:
1. Identifies the local diversion facility where construction and demolition waste material collected will be taken.
2. Determines if construction and demolition waste materials will be sorted; source-separated on-site or in a bulk mixed, single stream manner.
3. Identifies the construction and demolition waste materials to be diverted from disposal by efficient usage, recycling, reuse on the project or salvage for future use or sale.
4. Calculate the amount of construction and demolition waste materials diverted by weight or volume, but not by both.
5. Estimated weight or volume may be used at time of permit application as actual amounts are not known at that time.
6. If the applicant determines during the construction process that the projected feasible diversion rate will not meet the diversion goal in the WMP, the applicant shall submit additional information to the City that supports the request for approval of a lower diversion rate.
7. The applicant shall identify the Self-Hauler for the project. Otherwise, the applicant shall provide documentation and identify the construction and demolition waste that will be collected by the local franchise hauler.

2. The Director may issue a "Disapproved" statement with reasons for disapproval, including a hold on further permit processing.
3. The Director may approve the WMP if it is deemed complete and all of the information required by this section is provided.
4. The Director may approve the WMP if the Further Explanation Needed information is provided that address the minimum diversion requirements of all construction and demolition waste generated by the by the Covered Project will be diverted, or that an alternate diversion goal has been approved.
