27 CASTCON STONE, INC. PROJECT CLEARVIEW PROJECT SERVICES CO. WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN INTRODUCTION JUNE 21, 2002 In order to minimize the impact of the construction of the CastCon Stone Project on area landfills the following plan outlines the process by which construction waste will be handled for the project. The LEED Green Building Rating System as established by the US Green Building Council is the standard we will use to measure our success. Our goal is to divert at least 75% of all waste generated by the project from landfills by recycling and salvaging materials at every opportunity. With that in mind, the input of everyone involved is welcome in terms of new ideas for recycling or more efficient methods of handling waste. The cooperation of everyone is essential in carrying out the plan. GENERAL FOR ALL SUBCONTRACTORS Minimize Waste The less waste generated throughout the project the less we will have to separate for recycling. The following are some ideas for limiting unnecessary waste before it even arrives (these can save you money): Select products that use less packaging Arrange to have materials shipped without unnecessary packaging Double check material orders with requirements to avoid over-ordering Order materials in the most efficient modules for the job to reduce cut-off waste Store delivered materials in a protected location and away from wet areas to prevent damage Arrange for a proper storage location prior to delivery time to minimize excessive handling and reduce the chance for damage Handle materials with appropriate equipment or sufficient personnel to prevent damage Purchase materials whose cut-off waste and packaging will fit into existing recycling arrangements Source Separation FOR ALL SUBCONTRACTORS All construction waste from the CastCon Stone Project will be separated at the site before or while it is loaded for hauling. Space on the site is limited so sorting will have to be done efficiently. Some materials may be sorted and kept inside the building. Waste types that Iinvolve smaller quantities and that are more valuable are most likely to be stored inside. The bulkier materials will have to be sorted outside. Materials should be hauled away as soon as there is a quantity large enough for a full load so as to minimize the need for space-hogging stockpiles.

28 TARGETED MATERIALS The following sections give specific information on how each type of material is to be separated, what can be included in each category, who is responsible for it, and where it will be taken. The materials we are targeting for recycling or salvage Corrugated cardboard Cardboard can amount to a significant quantity of waste over the course of the project, although most will come toward the end of the job. If there is space on the site a separate small dumpster should be used to collect and store this material. Otherwise it can be accumulated in smaller quantities and hauled to a recycling facility. Project Superintendent will direct cardboard amounts of less than one dumpster Metals All metal wastes should be collected in a single location for hauling to a scrap yard. If at certain stages of the job there will be a sufficient quantity, it may be worthwhile to get a small dumpster. Pre-Engineered Building Siding cuts, metal banding, trims Structural Steel Metal Banding Mason Metal Banding, Ties, Wire Interiors Metal Studs Concrete and Concrete Block Any remaining material of this nature should be used as fill material for excavations on site as much as possible. Coordinate daily concrete deliveries with Project Superintendent as to where excess concrete and truck clean-up could occur. All block should be directed by Project Superintendent Wood and pallets The used pallets and any cut-offs of new lumber can be sent to: Wood Waste Recycling, Burgettstown, (724) or another similar operation which grinds the wood for mulch. Coordinate all pallets with Project Superintendent. Wood can be mixed with drywall and hauled by Emery Tree Service Plastic and glass containers Most of this waste will come from beverage containers. A collection barrel should be placed where workers eat lunch and next to the regular trash can. The only plastics that are recyclable in this area are #1 and #2. Others must be disposed of with trash. This trash, depending on the volume, may be taken back to CPSC office for recycling. Drywall Emery Tree Service can also be contacted for drywall recycling. Drywall must be free of paint and screws prior to placing in the dumpster. Drywall scraps can be added to the wood dumpster
