SUBJECT: An Ordinance Adding Chapter 8.05 to the City of San Luis Obispo
Municipal Code Requiring Construction and Demolition Debris Reuse
and/or Recycling.
CAO RECOMMENDATIONS:
Introduce to print an ordinance adding Chapter 8.05 to the City of San Luis Obispo's Municipal
Code requiring a mandatory construction and demolition debris recycling program.
DISCUSSION
Background
California state law (AB 939) requires every county and city reduce the amount of waste going to
the landfill by 50% by the end of the year 2000. During the past decade, the City has
implemented an array of programs to accomplish this goal. The last major portion of the City's
waste stream needing to be evaluated for diversion from the landfill is construction and
demolition (C&D) debris. The City's Source Reduction and Recycling Element, adopted in
1994, identifies C &D recycling as an essential program to reach the 50% diversion mandate.
C&D material makes up about 28% of the City's overall waste stream. Though not all this waste
is recyclable for various reasons, by establishing a C &D recycling program, the City will ensure
that material that is recyclable is being diverted from the landfill.
Since 1998, the City's waste diversion has been grouped with the member agencies of the San
Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) when reporting to the
State our progress towards the 50% diversion requirement. For the calendar year 1999, the
region was at 51% diversion rate. Although the year 2000 actual diversion rate will not be
known until around the middle of 2001 (because the population and economic figures needed to
calculate diversion are not available until that time), the preliminary information indicates that
the region may or may not reach the 50% goal. The uncertainty is mainly due to the increase in
the amount of C&D material being generated and landfilled attributed to the strong economy. If
the region does not reach the 50% diversion mandate, it is imperative that the City demonstrate a
"good faith effort" in attempting to reach the goal to avoid possible fines or other enforcement
action.
Ordinance Development Process
The IWMA contracted with Stephen McGrath and Associates (SMA) to research and develop a
model C&D ordinance. The intent of the model ordinance was to more or less standardize, for
the building community, the procedures for recycling or reusing C &D material throughout the
-1

county. It is the hope of the IWMA that each member city and the county will adopt their own
version of the ordinance.
SMA surveyed several jurisdictions throughout the State to arrive at the initial draft of the
ordinance. The IWMA then solicited comments from the building industry on the draft
ordinance. Surprisingly, comments were, for the most part, positive with the general feeling that
a majority of contractors already recycle a bulk of the waste material they produce for economic
reasons. Additionally, the IWMA and City staff met with the three of the four roll -off companies
that service the county south of Cuesta Grade. From their perspective, the 50% diversion goal is
realistic and obtainable.
Next the IWMA, City staff and SMA modified the initial draft to reflect the local conditions and
input from the building industry and roll -off companies to arrive at a final draft ordinance. This
draft was then sent to each city and the county for their consideration to adopt. The ordinance
being considered for adoption by the City has been slightly modified after input from the City
Attorney's Office and the Community Development Department.
Construction and Demolition Debris Ordinance Summary
Administration
The Utilities Conservation Office will have the primary responsibility for the implementation and
tracking of the C&D Recycling/Reuse Program. Applicants will be given the program's
information as part of the planning process in the Community Development Department. All
other contacts for the program's procedures and guidelines will be through the Utilities
Conservation Office. A waste diversion tracking mechanism is being developed in order to
quantify the results of the recycling/reuse requirements.
Procedures
Projects that must submit a recycling plan are developments with a ascribed valuation of $50,000
or more, and all demolition projects having a total footage of more than 1,000 square feet. The
procedures were developed to minimize the impacts to the applicants. A simple recycling plan
form has been developed along with a guide which will assist the building industry to estimate
the amount of waste their project will generate (Attachment 2).
The applicant will fill out the form and submit it to the Utilities Conservation Coordinator for
review. The plan will then either be:
• Approved which allows for a building or demolition permit to be issued;
• Denied which no building or demolition permit can be issued; or
• Returned to the applicant if the Utilities Conservation Coordinator determines that
additional information is needed to make a decision as to its adequacy.
Council Agenda Report—C&D Recycling Ordinance
At the end of the project the applicant returns the form with the appropriate documentation. The
Utilities Conservation Coordinator will then determine whether the applicant has complied with
the diversion requirements, as follows:
• Full compliance if the applicant has fully complied to the diversion requirements
applicable to the project;
• Substantial compliance if the applicant made a good faith effort to comply but for an
unforeseen reason could not fully comply; and
Noncompliance if the applicant is not in substantial compliance or fails to submit the
required documentation.
If it is determined that an applicant is in noncompliance, a civil penalty in an amount calculated
as two percent of the total project valuation will be assessed. Additionally, the certificate of
occupancy may not be issued until the penalty is paid.
Other Provisions
The ordinance does provide exemptions or exceptions to the 50% diversion rate. If an applicant
can provide information which supports their assertion that a 50% diversion rate is not feasible,
the Utilities Conservation Coordinator can grant a lower diversion rate for a project.
If an applicant is not satisfied with any decision made by the Utilities Conservation Coordinator
whether it is for noncompliance or the granting of an exemption, the applicant can appeal to the
Utilities Director whose decision will be final.
CONCURRENCE
The Community Development Department concurs with the recommendations made in this
report. Additionally, as previously indicated in the report, a majority of the respondents to the
draft ordinance from the building and construction waste management industries concur that the
50% recycling/reuse goal is reasonable and can be obtained.
FISCAL IMPACT
No additional funding will be required to implement the recommendations made in this report.
Utilities Conservation Office staffing is adequate to implement the program and the increased
workload. The existing Utilities Conservation Office budget is adequate to fund any incidental
printing costs associated with the necessary forms and information.

B. Non - approval: If the RECYCLING PLAN Compliance Official determines
that the RECYCLING PLAN is incomplete or fails to indicate that at least fifty (50)
percent by weight of all Construction and Demolition debris generated by the
Project will be reused or recycled,,he or she shall either:
1. Return the RECYCLING PLAN to the Applicant marked 'Denied', including
a statement of reasons, and so notify the Building Department; or
2. Return the RECYCLING PLAN to the Applicant marked 'Further
Explanation Required'.
8.05.050 COMPLIANCE WITH RECYCLING PLAN
A. Documentation: Prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy for the
project, the Applicant shall submit to the RECYCLING PLAN Compliance Official
documentation that the Diversion Requirement for the Project has been met.
The Diversion Requirement shall be that the Applicant has diverted at least fifty
(50) percent of the total Construction and Demolition debris generated by the
Project via reuse or recycling, unless the Applicant has been granted an
Impossibility Exemption pursuant to 8.05.060 of this Ordinance, in which case the
Diversion Requirement shall be the maximum feasible diversion rate established
by the RECYCLING PLAN Compliance Official for the Project. This
documentation shall include all of the following:
1. Receipts from the vendor or facility which collected or received each
material showing the actual weight or volume of that material;
2. A copy of the previously approved RECYCLING PLAN for the Project
adding the actual volume or weight of each material diverted and
landfilled;
3. Any additional information the Applicant believes is relevant to determining
its efforts to comply in good faith with this Ordinance.
B. Weighing of Wastes: Applicants shall make reasonable efforts to ensure
that all Construction and Demolition debris diverted or landfilled are measured
and recorded using the most accurate method of measurement available. To the
extent practical, all Construction and Demolition debris shall be weighed by
measurement on scales. Such scales shall be in compliance with all regulatory
requirements for accuracy and maintenance. For Construction and Demolition
debris 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.

PAGE 7
he or she submits the RECYCLING PLAN required under 8.05.030 (A) of this
Ordinance. The Applicant shall indicate on the RECYCLING PLAN the maximum
rate of diversion he or she believes is feasible for each material and the specific
circumstances that he or she believes make it infeasible to comply with the
Diversion Requirement.
B: Meeting with RECYCYLING PLAN Compliance Official: The
RECYCLING PLAN Compliance Official shall review the information supplied by
the Applicant and may meet with the Applicant to discuss possible ways of
meeting the Diversion Requirement. The RECYCLING PLAN Compliance
Official may request that staff from the San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste
Management Authority or designee attend this meeting or may require the
Applicant to request a separate meeting with San Luis Obispo County Integrated
Waste Management Authority staff. Based on the information supplied by the
Applicant and, if applicable, San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste
Management Authority staff or designee, the RECYCLING PLAN Compliance
Official shall determine whether it is possible for the Applicant to meet the
Diversion Requirement.
C. Granting of Exemption: If the RECYCLING plan Compliance Official
determines that it is infeasible for the Applicant to meet the Diversion
Requirement due to unique circumstances, he or she shall determine the
maximum feasible diversion rate for each material and shall indicate this rate on
the RECYCLING PLAN submitted by the Applicant. The RECYCLING PLAN
Compliance Official shall return a copy of the RECYCLING PLAN to the
Applicant marked 'Approved for Infeasible Exemption' and shall notify the
Building Division that the RECYCLING PLAN has been approved.
D. Denial of Exemption: If the RECYCLING PLAN Compliance Official
determines that it is possible for the Applicant to meet the Diversion
Requirement, he or she shall so inform the Applicant in writing. The Applicant
shall have 30 days to resubmit a RECYCLING PLAN form in full compliance with
8.05.030 (A) of this Ordinance. If the Applicant fails to resubmit the RECYCLING
PLAN, or if the resubmitted RECYCLING PLAN does not comply with 8.05.030
(A) of this Ordinance, the RECYCLING PLAN Compliance Official shall deny the
RECYCLING PLAN in accordance with 8.05.040 (B) of this Ordinance.

The Construction and Demolition (C &D) Recycling Plan and Disposal Report is intended, in
conjunction with this resource guide, to assist you in attaining the maximum effective and
practical recycling on the job site. If budget were no concern, and time were unlimited, in excess
of 90% of the material commonly considered waste on the job site, could be recycled. The goal
in this C &D Recycling Plan, is to attain 50% recycling or reuse. The key, when separating
materials for recycling, is to avoid cross - contamination: styrofoam with the cardboard, metals
with the wood, inerts with the metals. By avoiding these simple mistakes, the contractor can save
money and landfill space.
Mixed Waste: This includes all waste that cannot be recycled, trash and garbage. This
material will under usual circumstances, go to the landfill

Drywall: Used drywall, from remodeling and demolition projects, should be considered
'mixed waste', as it cannot be recycled. Clean drywall scrap can technically be
easily recycled, and often is. However, at this time there are no facilities within an
economical distance from the Central Coast that offer this service.
Metals: Ferrous: this is all iron based metals — steel, black and galvanized pipe, duct
work, rebar, flashings.

Lumber: Only clean, unpainted, untreated lumber can be chipped and used as mulch or
feedstock for a composting operation. Treated lumber should never be included
in a designated wood load. Treated and painted lumber should be considered
mixed waste, and landfilled.

Cardboard: One of the most commonly recycled materials in households and businesses,
cardboard is possibly the most expensive material to throw away on a job site
due to its low weight to volume ratio, and the fact that often boxes will end up in
the drop box unflattened, and consuming a disproportionate amount of space.
