ASBESTOS ABATEMENT FORM BUILDING DEMOLITION/RENOVATION Project address: Legal Description: Lot/Unit Block Plan I hereby give assurance that all materials having the potential for releasing asbestos fibres have been removed from the project area to be renovated or demolished. I confirm that waste materials have been disposed of in an approved landfill site as required by Alberta Environment. OR I hereby give assurance that there are no materials having the potential for releasing asbestos fibres in the project area to be renovated or demolished. Name: Signature: Address: Phone: Date: Asbestos abatement requirements are located in the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Code administered by Workplace Health and Safety (Alberta Employment and Immigation). Occupational Health and Safety legislation requires anyone beginning an asbestos project to notify Workplace Health and Safety at least 72 hours before work starts.
Additional Information Do I need a Building Permit to perform asbestos abatement work? No. A Building Permit is not a permit to perform asbestos abatement work. Rather, this form is required as part of your Building Permit application and serves as notification to alert Building Regulations that asbestos abatement will be undertaken. Limited demolition or construction is expected during asbestos abatement work and jurisdiction for this work is with the Government of Alberta. What happens if I find asbestos after I already have a permit? In the event that asbestos is discovered, or a change to your scope of work has resulted in the potential for releasing asbestos for a project that already has a permit, you are expected to: 1. immediately stop work; and 2. address the asbestos that has been encountered by: a) providing notification as required by OH&S by completing the Asbestos Project Notification form; and b) ensuring asbestos will be dealt with according to OHS requirements; and 3. submit a Building Permit revision to include a revised Asbestos Abatement form acknowledging the removal of asbestos before resuming work pursuant to the Building Permit. For additional information, refer to Standata 06-BCB-006.
DRAFT Bow Valley Construction Waste Diversion How-To Guide PURPOSE: The purpose of the guide is to maximize the reduction of waste generated and land filled through new construction and demolition. Land is a scarce resource within the Bow Valley and no new landfill sites are expected to be available once the current site has reached its capacity. Therefore, a significant secondary purpose of this policy is to extend the useful life of the existing Francis Cooke Regional Landfill. This guide has been created in conjunction with the Bow Valley Waste Management Commission s business plan. OVERVIEW: The Bow Valley Construction Waste Diversion Program encourages applicants seeking a Building Permit to meet or exceed the goal of 50% waste diversion. Applicants for a Building Permit are asked to review this guide, and then follow the process as outlined on page 2. Upon completion of the project a Project Waste Diversion Summary, which outlines the amount of waste that was recycled from the project, will be provided by Bow Valley Waste Management Commission (BVWMC). Submit the Project Waste Diversion Summary to the Municipality s Planning Department that approved the Building Permit. The following products can be RECYCLED at the Francis Cooke Regional Landfill: Scrub & Brush Concrete & Masonry Asphalt Wood Products Accepted: Not Accepted: Drywall Metal (includes appliances) Asphalt Shingles Cardboard can be recycled at: Kiln dried, OSB, Engineered Joists, Plywood Pressure Treated, MDF, ACQ, Particle Board BANFF - 120 Hawk Avenue CANMORE - 115 Boulder Crescent This guide has been produced with a coordinated effort of the following:
BENEFITS: There are several reasons to pursue a waste diversion program. Save money the difference in rates between sorted and unsorted materials is significant (2015 rates): Diverted: $45-$50 per tonne (100% of material is recycled to applicable recycling pile) Sorted: $105 per tonne(minimum 50% of material is sorted to applicable recycling pile) Unsorted: $195 - $270 per tonne (mixed load, not sorted to applicable recycling pile) Compliance with waste diversion can result in recognition for your project, certification that can be used in marketing and advancing your project s environmental stewardship. Save time...bvwmc has the ability to track the volume of recycled material through their computerized tracking system, which can help with LEED, BuiltGreen, or other green construction program certification requirements. Extend the life of the Francis Cooke Regional Landfill. PROCESS: 1. Complete a Project ID form (Schedule A ) and submit it prior to the delivery of your first load from your construction site. This form can be submitted to Francis Cooke Regional Landfill by: Fax to (403) 673-2709; Scan and email to: landfill@bvwaste.ca; or Hand it to the weigh scale staff at the Francis Cooke Regional Landfill. 2. Once the form is submitted a Project ID number/name will be issued. A separate Project ID number/name should be obtained for each project. The project can then be tracked by number or name. 3. Quote the Project ID number / name to the staff at Francis Cooke Regional Landfill whenever a load is taken to the landfill. 4. At the conclusion of the project, notify BVWMC by phone at (403) 673-2708 or by email at landfill@bvwaste.ca in order to close out the file. A copy of the waste diversion report will be provided at that time. Provide the waste diversion report to the Development Authority to fulfill requirements of the Building Permit. 5. The resulting summary data may be shared with Bow Valley municipalities for general waste diversion statistics. The shared summary data will be anonymous. Two local waste hauling companies, familiar with this process, can be contacted at: JMB Waste Management (403) 762-2162 Clean Sweep Waste Removal (403) 762-9324 SCHEDULE ATTACHMENT: Schedule A - Project I.D. form This guide has been produced with a coordinated effort of the following: Version: May 2011
