§ 15.46.500. Approval.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, no permit shall be issued for any covered project unless the Administrator or the Administrator's designee has approved the C&DMMP. The Administrator or the Administrator's designee shall approve a C&DMMP if the Administrator or the Administrator's designee first determines that all of the following conditions have been met: (A) the C&DMMP provides all of the information set forth in Part 3 of this chapter; (B) the C&DMMP indicates that the diversion requirement will be met; and (C) the applicant has submitted an appropriate diversion security deposit in compliance with Part 4 of this chapter.

If the Administrator or the Administrator's designee determines that these three (3) conditions have been met, the Administrator or the Administrator's designee shall mark the C&DMMP "Approved," return a copy of the C&DMMP to the applicant, and notify the Division of Building and Safety that the C&DMMP has been approved.

Approval shall not be required if construction, demolition or grading is required to protect public health or safety in an emergency, as defined in Public Resources Code Section 21060.3.

§ 15.46.510. Disapproval.

If the Administrator or the Administrator's designee determines that the C&DMMP is incomplete or fails to comply with the adopted Construction Waste Reduction, Disposal and Recycling Section of the California Green Code adopted as the City of Santa Clarita Green Building Standards Code, the Administrator or the Administrator's designee shall either: (A) return the C&DMMP to the applicant marked "Denied," including a statement of reasons, and so notify the Division of Building and Safety, which shall then hold the project's permit, or (B) return the C&DMMP to the applicant marked "Further Explanation Required," including a statement of reasons, and so notify the Division of Building and Safety, which shall then hold the project's permit. If, during the course of the project, the applicant determines that the estimated tonnage of C&D material and inert waste to be removed from the waste stream and not disposed of in a solid waste landfill generated and/or recovered from the project is substantially different from the C&DMMP, the applicant shall submit an addendum to the original C&DMMP.
