A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF
THE TOWN OF TIBURON ESTABLISHING A
CONSTRUCTION AND 'DEMOLITION DEBRIS
POLICY FOR APPLICABLE BUILDING PERMITS
FOR A TRIAL PERIOD OF SIX (6) MONTHS
WHEREAS, under the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, the
Town of Tiburon is obliged to divert waste from landfills by re-use and recycling and
other methods; and
WHEREAS, construction and demolition debris constitutes approximately 12% of
materials sent from Town sources to landfills; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that reusing and recycling construction and
demolition debris is essential to further the Town's efforts to comply with the California
Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 and other waste reduction goals; and
,....
WHEREAS, the Council finds that, through good faith efforts, approximately
50% of all construction and demolition debris may be diverted from landfills via reuse
and recycling, The Council further finds this 50% goal can be reasonably required as a
condition of the building permit and has determined to impose this requirement on a trial
basis; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council agrees with and adopts the findings and
recommendations of the Town's Recycling Coordinator to establish a policy to be
implemented on a six (6) month trial basis, commencing February 15,2002. At the end
of the trial period, the Town Council shall consider making the policy permanent.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of
Tiburon to adopt the following requirements as conditions of approval on all building
permits for a trial period of six (6) months commencing on February 15,2002:
1, All applicants for a building permit likely to generate substantial construction or
demolition debris must prepare a Waste Management Plan ("WMP") to be
included with their permit application. The WMP shall state the amount of
construction and demolition debris generated by the project that can be diverted
from landfills via reuse or recycling. The Building Official shall use reasonable
discretion in determining whether work authorized by a permit is likely to
generate substantial construction debris and is appropriately subject to the policy,
Those permits deemed subject to the policy shall be required to comply with the
policy as a condition of approval on the permit.
