developer or contractor is planning on reducing, reusing or
recycling waste generated, according to requirements in
this ordinance. Such review is intended to address issues,
including the following:

• Is the construction and demolition material that is
generated recyclable?
• Will 50% of waste generated in the project be diverted
from landfills?

3. After the C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan has been reviewed
by the City, a plan for a building or demolition permit will
be returned within a timely manner.

IMPERIAL CITY CODE CHAPTER 10-1 MANDATORY CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING I

(c) During Activities:

1. Permittee/contractors must use the C&D Reuse and Recycling Plan to document the following: • Volume or weight of each type of recycled material and where the materials are processed • Volume or weight of all materials disposed (land-filled) 2. Alternate documentation may be used at the discretion of the compliance officer. (d) At Completion Of Activities 1. Permittee must submit the C & D Reuse and Recycling Plan to the Compliance Officer before the permit can be signed as completed. 2. The Compliance Officer will submit documents to the City staff who will review and analyze the estimated and actual materials reused, recycled or land-filled and notify the Building Division. 3. Failure to provide satisfactory receipts or accomplish plan estimates, could encumber approval of future permits by permittee/owner. (e) Calculating Volume and Weight of Debris: In estimating the volume or weight of materials identified in the C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan, the Applicant shall use the standardized Conversion Rates approved by the City for this purpose. (f) Deconstruction: In preparing the C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan, applicants for building or demolition permits involving the removal of all or part of an existing structure shall be allowed to deconstruct, and to the maximum extent feasible, and shall make the materials generated thereby available for salvage. Recovered and salvaged designated recyclable and reusable materials from the deconstruction phase shall qualify to be counted in meeting the diversion requirements. Recovered or salvaged materials may be given or sold on the premises or may be removed to reuse warehouse facilities for storage or sale.

10A.4 DEPOSIT REQUIRED

IMPERIAL CITY CODE CHAPTER 10-1 MANDATORY CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING I

As a condition precedent to issuance of any permit for a building or a demolition permit that involves the production of solid waste destined to be delivered to a landfill, the applicant shall post a cash deposit in the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00) for each estimated ton of construction and/or demolition debris but not less than five hundred dollars ($500.00). The deposit or cash bond shall be returned, without interest, in total or in proportion, upon proof to the satisfaction of the Compliance Officer, that no less than the required percentages or proven proportion of those percentages of the tons of debris generated by the demolition and/or construction project have been diverted from landfills and have been recycled or reused. If a lesser percentage of tons or cubic yards than required is diverted, a proportionate share of the deposit will not be returned. The deposit shall be forfeited entirely or to the extent that there is a failure to comply with the requirements of this chapter. The amount of this fee shall be determined in accordance with the then current resolution of the City Council determining the same.

10A.5 ADMINISTRATIVE FEE

As a condition precedent to issuance of any permit for a building or a demolition permit that involves the production of solid waste destined to be delivered to a landfill, the applicant shall pay to the City a cash fee sufficient to compensate the City for all expenses incurred in the review and inspection of the project, determining the construction and demolition plan, and determining compliance. The amount of this fee shall be determined in accordance with the then current resolution of the City Council determining the same.

10A.6 REPORTING

During the term of the demolition or construction project, the contractor shall recycle or divert the required percentages of materials, and keep records thereof in tonnage or in other measurements approved by the Compliance Officer that can be converted to tonnage. The Compliance Officer will evaluate and monitor each project to gauge whether the diversion of a minimum of the required percentages of the demolition and construction debris will be measured separately with respect to the demolition segment and the construction segment of a project where both demolition and construction are involved. On-site separation shall be undertaken to the extent feasible.

10A.7 REVIEW OF C & D REUSE/RECYCLING PLAN

IMPERIAL CITY CODE CHAPTER 10-1 MANDATORY CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING I

(a) Approval: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, no building or demolition permit shall be issued for any Covered Project unless and until the Compliance Officer has approved the C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan. Approval shall not be required, however, where an emergency demolition is required to protect the public health, welfare or safety as determined by the Building Official. The Compliance Officer shall only approve a C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan if the intent of the ordinance has been met. Such approval may include conditions such as separation of Designated Recyclable and Reusable materials by material type.

(b) Non-approval: If the Compliance Officer determines that the
C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan is incomplete or fails to meet the
intent of the requirements of this ordinance, he shall return the
C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan to the Applicant marked
“Denied,” including a statement of reasons, and so notify the
Building Division.

10A.8 COMPLIANCE WITH RECYCLING PLAN

(a) Documentation: Within sixty (60) days following the
completion of the demolition project, and again within sixty
(60) days following the completion of the construction
project, the contractor shall, as a condition precedent to final
approval and to issuance of any certificate of occupancy,
submit documentation to the Compliance Officer that the
Diversion Requirement for the Project has been met. The
Diversion Requirement shall be that the Applicant has
complied with the C&D Reuse/Recycling Plan. Any deposit
posted pursuant to Section 10A.4 shall be forfeited if the
permittee does not meet the timely reporting requirements of
this section. 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 C & D
Reuse/Recycling Plan for the Project adding the
actual volume or weight of each material diverted and
land-filled;

IMPERIAL CITY CODE CHAPTER 10-1 MANDATORY CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING I

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.

(c) Determination of Compliance: The Compliance Officer
shall review the information submitted under C&D
Reuse/Recycling Plan and determine whether the Applicant
has complied with the Diversion Requirement, as follows:

1. Full Compliance: If the Compliance Officer
determines that the Applicant has fully complied with
the Diversion Requirements applicable to the Project,
he shall approve the C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan and
inform the Building Division that a Certificate of
Occupancy can be issued.

2. Substantial Compliance: If the Compliance Officer
determines that the Diversion Requirement has not
been achieved, he shall determine on a case-by-case
basis whether the Applicant has made a good faith
effort and is in substantial compliance with this
Ordinance. In making this determination, the
Compliance Officer shall consider the availability of
markets for the Construction and Demolition debris
land-filled, the size of the Project, and the documented
efforts of the Applicant to divert Construction and
Demolition debris. If the Compliance Officer
determines that the Applicant has made a good faith

IMPERIAL CITY CODE CHAPTER 10-1 MANDATORY CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING I

effort to comply with this Ordinance and is in

substantial compliance, he shall approve the C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan and inform the Building Division that a Certificate of Occupancy can be issued.

3. Noncompliance: If the Compliance Officer determines that the Applicant is not in substantial compliance with this ordinance, or if the Applicant fails to submit the documentation required by Section 10A.8 then the applicant shall pay a penalty as prescribed in Section 10A.4.

   (d) Falsification of Records: If the Applicant deliberately provides false or misleading data to the City in violation of this Ordinance, the Applicant may be subject to penalties in addition to those specified in Section 10A.4. In any civil enforcement action, administrative or judicial, the City shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs from an Applicant who is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have violated this Ordinance.

   (e) Final Approval: All conditions of this Ordinance shall be met prior to final approval by the Building Division.

10A.9 INFEASIBLE EXEMPTION

(a) Application: If an Applicant for a Covered Project
experiences unique circumstances that the Applicant
believes make it not feasible to comply with the Diversion
Requirement, the Applicant may apply for an exemption at
the time that he submits the C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan
required under Section 10A.3 of this Ordinance. The
Applicant shall indicate on the C & D Reuse/Recycling Plan
the maximum rate of diversion he believes is feasible for
each material and the specific circumstances that he
believes make it not feasible to comply with the Diversion
Requirement.

(b) Meeting with Compliance Officer: The Compliance Officer
shall review the information supplied by the Applicant and
may meet with the Applicant to discuss possible ways of
meeting the Diversion Requirement. The Compliance
Officer may request that staff from the Imperial Valley Waste

IMPERIAL CITY CODE CHAPTER 10-1 MANDATORY CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING I

Management Task Force or designee attend this meeting or
may require the Applicant to request a separate meeting with
IVWMTF staff. Based on the information supplied by the
Applicant and, if applicable, IVWMTF staff or designee, the
Compliance Officer shall determine whether it is possible for
the Applicant to meet the Diversion Requirement.

(c) Granting of Exemption: If the Compliance Officer
determines that it is not feasible for the Applicant to meet the
Diversion Requirement due to unique circumstances, he
shall determine the maximum feasible diversion rate for each
material and shall indicate this rate on the C & D
Reuse/Recycling Plan submitted by the Applicant. The
Compliance Officer shall return a copy of the C & D
Reuse/Recycling Plan to the Applicant marked ‘Approved’ or
‘Unapproved’ and shall notify the Building Division if
approved.

(d) Denial of Exemption: If the Compliance Officer determines
that it is possible for the Applicant to meet the Diversion
Requirement, he shall so inform the Applicant in writing. The
Applicant shall have 30 days to resubmit a C & D
Reuse/Recycling Plan form in full compliance with this
Ordinance. If the Applicant fails to resubmit the C & D
Reuse/Recycling Plan, or if the resubmitted C & D
Reuse/Recycling Plan does not comply with this Ordinance,
the Compliance Officer shall deny the C & D
Reuse/Recycling.

10A.10 APPEALS
