SECTION INCLUDES Overview of waste management and disposal requirements and procedures RELATED WORK Schedule W1 Waste Management and Disposal Proposed Receiving Facilities Schedule W2 Waste Management and Disposal Waste Tracking Worksheet 1.3. DEFINITIONS Solid Waste: Any waste material (including land-clearing debris) that is sent from the Project site to another location for disposal Land-Clearing Debris: Waste materials resulting from land-clearing that include pre-existing development materials and plant matter, but do not include soil Reused Waste: Waste materials that are sent to a location off-site (e.g. another construction project or product supplier) where they are used in their original form (i.e. without additional processing) Recycled Waste: Waste materials that are sent off-site to a recycling facility where they are used to displace virgin materials as feedstock for manufacturing processes that create new products Landfill Waste: Waste materials that are sent to a landfill site for disposal REFERENCES Ontario.

2 Construction Specifications 1.5. OBJECTIVES Minimize the amount of solid waste (including land-clearing debris) generated by construction, renovation and demolition (CRD) activities Of the inevitable solid waste (including land-clearing debris) that is generated by CRD activities, divert more than 75% from landfill (through reuse and recycling) to achieve LEED Canada-NC Version 1.0 credits MRc2.1 and MRc2.2 Construction Waste Management Comply with all applicable Environmental Protection Act of Ontario regulations relating to construction waste management including Ontario Regulation 102/94 and Ontario Regulation 103/ Comply with Canadian Construction Association s Code of Practice outlined in Standard Construction Document CCA to encourage improved waste management practices DESCRIPTION OF WORK The Site Superintendent (or other person designated by the Contractor) shall be responsible for all aspects of Waste Management and Disposal Identify, implement and document measures to achieve the waste management objectives listed above Follow a strategy based on the 3R s hierarchy: Reduce the generation of waste materials at the Project site, Reuse waste materials on other construction sites (when feasible) and Recycle waste materials as feedstock for manufacturing processes that create new products Waste Management and Disposal activities shall include: 1. Arranging waste management service agreements with waste haulers and waste receiving facilities. 2. Supervising on-site waste management activities on a daily basis. 3. Coordinating waste management tasks with Subcontractors to ensure timely and orderly progress of the Work. 4. Preparing waste management documentation and submittals to summarize all shipments of waste materials from the Project site. 5. Reporting waste management progress to the Consultant KICK-OFF MEETING Prior to mobilization on-site, the Contractor shall hold a kick-off meeting with the Consultant to review the Waste Management and Disposal requirements. This meeting shall include a review of: 1. Waste Management and Disposal objectives 2. Waste Management and Disposal requirements and procedures 3. Waste Management and Disposal documentation and submittals 1.8. COORDINATION MEETING Page 2 of 5 Canadian Tire

3 Prior to start of construction, the Contractor (in conjunction with the Consultant) shall hold a coordination meeting with the construction team to explain the Waste Management and Disposal requirements to the Subcontractors. This meeting shall include a review of: 1. Waste Management and Disposal objectives 2. Waste Management and Disposal requirements and procedures 3. Waste Management and Disposal documentation and submittals 1.9. SUBMITTALS Schedule W1 Proposed Receiving Facilities 1. List the proposed receiving facilities for each material identified in paragraph in addition to material sent to landfill. Indicate the material(s) that will be accepted by each facility and whether the material(s) will be reused, recycled or sent to landfill. 2. Submit completed schedule to the Consultant within 14 days after site mobilization Schedule W2 Waste Tracking Worksheet 1. Obtain waybills, invoices, letters and other documentation that clearly indicates the receiving facility, end use (reused, recycled or landfill) and quantity of waste for each shipment of waste generated on the Project site. Record each shipment using the Waste Tracking Worksheet. 2. Submit an up-to-date copy of the Waste Tracking Worksheet and waybills, invoices, letters and other documentation to the Consultant on a monthly basis Final Waste Diversion Report 1. Submit a final report to the Consultant (after substantial completion and prior to demobilization) that contains the final versions of the following: a) Waste Tracking Worksheet(s) b) Waybills, invoices, letters and other documentation supporting each shipment listed in the Waste Tracking Worksheet clearly indicating quantities, end uses and receiving facilities. PART 2 PRODUCTS NOT USED PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1. PROCEDURES Waste Reduction 1. 1 Encourage Suppliers and Subcontractors to retrieve/retain packaging (e.g. skids, plastic wrap, etc.) for reuse. a) Suppliers and Subcontractors must provide a letter stating the item(s) will be reused and documenting the quantity removed from the site.

4 Construction Specifications 2. Prevent damage of materials due to mishandling, improper storage, and contamination. 3. Where possible, use prefabricated assemblies built at a central facility to avoid waste generation at the site Waste Diversion 1. Contact local salvaging/recycling facilities and arrange for recycling/reuse services. At a minimum, the proposed facilities must recycle/reuse the following waste materials that will be generated throughout construction: 2. Note: a) Land clearing debris b) Asphalt c) Concrete / masonry / stone d) Steel and other metals e) Wood (see note below) f) Gypsum g) Cardboard h) Plastic i) Blue Box waste a) Use of material as landfill cover is not considered as recycling or reuse. b) Incineration of wood waste for power generation is not considered as recycling or reuse. c) Recommended measures for recycling/reusing wood include encouraging Suppliers to reuse wood pallets, sending wood pallets to pallet recycling companies and converting waste wood into landscaping mulch. 3. Provide the Consultant with a list of the proposed receiving facilities within 14 days after site mobilization using Schedule W1 Proposed Receiving Facilities (as per 1.9.1). 4. Designate a central Waste Collection Area onsite that is dedicated to the separation and storage of all waste generated during construction. 5. Provide containers in the Waste Collection Area that are sized to accommodate the separation and storage of expected waste types and quantities. Provide separate containers for each of the following material types: a) Land clearing debris b) Asphalt c) Concrete / masonry / stone Page 4 of 5 Canadian Tire

5 d) Steel and other metals e) Wood f) Gypsum g) Cardboard h) Plastic i) Blue Box waste (as per ) j) Mixed waste k) Other types (as required by salvaging/recycling facilities) 6. Clearly indicate the material type being stored in each container using appropriate signage. 7. All Subcontractors shall use the containers provided in Waste Collection Area. 8. In the event that a Subcontractor is unable to use these containers, or wishes to use a waste material on future projects (e.g. rubble for road base), the Subcontractor must provide waybills, invoices, letters and other documentation that clearly indicates the receiving facility, end use (reused, recycled or landfill) and quantity of waste in each shipment. 9. Follow the salvaging/recycling facilities material acceptance requirements to ensure materials are properly sorted, grouped, and packaged for collection Provide Blue Box recycling bins for cardboard, paper and food and beverage containers near the construction trailer for recycling waste generated by site workers and visitors. Waste deposited in these bins shall adhere to the local recycling program Waste Tracking 1. Coordinate delivery of separated materials to approved salvage or recycling facilities. 2. Record all waste shipments using Schedule W2 Waste Tracking Worksheet as per Retain waybills, invoices, letters and other documentation for inclusion in Final Waste Diversion Report (as per 1.9.3) INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE Conduct daily inspections of containers to check for and remedy cross-contamination Promptly transport containers to receiving facilities when containers are full Ensure the material type is clearly labeled on each container.
