This credit was marked as Not Applicable for the
following reason:
Institution has not conducted a major construction and/or demolition project in the past three years.
The college documents diverted and recycled components including masonry, metals, and wood as much as possible. C&D materials lanfilled are included in the general waste management totals for all campus materials and is not tracked separately.
The bid process includes clauses requiring the contractor to manage the disposed and diverted materials; however, those materials which leave campus as part of the contract are not officially tracked.
We are in the process of creating a tracking mechanism for construction and demolition materials.
Over the past three recent years, diverted and recycled construction materials tracked include:
Gym Bleacher Replacement (08/09) - 10.5 tons wood resold for window trim, diverted for peace pole construction and recognition plaques, and for student projects.
Masonry (2008-2010)- 76.68 tons
Metals (2008-2010)- 2 tons
Tree Removal / Stormwater Mgmt Project (2008)- Tops of existing trees were removed and ground to mulch bedding to be used on and off campus. Remaining tree stumps were lifted and driven into bottom of a new drain watercourse to act as a natural deflector for slowing the stream flow.
