(Legislative History: Ordinance No. 2002-035, 12/16/02 (Sections 3-7-300—3-7-310))

(a) Applicants other than certified applicants for permits involving covered projects shall complete and submit a Debris Recycling Statement (DRS) on a form approved by the City. The City shall provide, as part of the permit application package, a DRS form to the applicant. The DRS form completed by an applicant shall include and indicate all of the following:

(1) The estimated volume or weight of the C&D debris, by type of material generated;

(2) The estimated volume or weight of materials that can feasibly be diverted via reuse or recycling;

(3) The vendor or facility that the applicant proposes to use to salvage, collect and/or receive diverted material;

(4) The estimated volume or weight of materials that will be deposited in a landfill.

(5) Any other information requested, and deemed necessary for determining compliance with this Chapter, by the Debris Recycling Statement Compliance Officer.

(b) For the purposes of this section, the applicant shall use standardized conversion rates, approved by the City, to estimate the volume and weight of materials identified in the DRS.

(a) Timeframe for Review: The Debris Recycling Statement Compliance Officer will review the DRS and advise the applicant within five working days of receipt of the DRS of his/her decision regarding approval or non-approval.

(b) Approval of Debris Recycling Statement:

(1) Prior to issuance of a building permit for a covered project, an applicant other than a certified applicant shall submit a DRS for such project. A DRS shall only be approved if the Debris Recycling Statement Compliance Officer determines that the following conditions have been met:

(i) The DRS provides all of the information required by this Chapter; and

(ii) The DRS indicates that the applicant will divert 100% of the asphalt, concrete and other similar material, and at least 50% by weight, of all other C&D debris generated by the project; or

(iii) The DRS indicates that the applicant will divert 100% of the asphalt, concrete, and similar materials, and demonstrates good cause as to why at least 50% by weight of the remainder of the C&D debris generated by the project will not be so diverted; or

(iv) The DRS indicates that the project will generate a negligible amount of C&D debris.

(2) If the Debris Recycling Statement Compliance Officer determines that the DRS has met condition (i) and either condition (ii), (iii), or (iv) of the preceding subsection, the DRS shall be marked "Approved". A copy of the approved DRS shall be returned to the applicant.

(c) Non-Approval of Debris Recycling Statement:

(1) If the Debris Recycling Statement Compliance Officer determines that the applicant has failed to comply with subsection (b)(1)(i), or either of subsections (b)(l)(ii), (b)(1)(iii) or (b)(1)(iv), the Debris Recycling Statement Compliance Officer shall either return the DRS to the applicant requesting complete documentation of the reasons that the requirements of this Chapter cannot be met, or shall return the DRS to the applicant marked "Denied." If the DRS is returned marked "Denied," it shall be accompanied by a statement of reasons for the denial.

(2) If the DRS is denied, the Debris Recycling Statement Compliance Officer may enforce any violation of this Chapter as provided in Section 3-7-600.

(d) Emergency Demolition: No DRS is required where an authorized official of the City has made a determination that immediate demolition is required to protect the public health or safety from imminent peril.
