UFC 1-900-01
1 DECEMBER 2002
similar instruction, Marine Corps Order MCO P5090.2A of 10 July 1998. See Chapters
15, Pollution Prevention and Chapter 17 Solid Waste Management and Resource
Recovery. UFGS 01572, Construction and Demolition Waste Management requires
contractors to devise a construction waste management plan that will address recycling,
reuse, and other waste diversion methods.
1-4.3 Army's Future Demolition. Under Defense Reform Initiative Directive 36, the
Army's goal for FY 1998-2003 is to reduce excess space by 53 million SF. Installations
continue to maintain excess and/or obsolete structures. The demolition of these
structures will cut costs and improve safety but will produce significant amounts of solid
waste.
1-4.4 Requirements. Requirements for reducing the generation of solid waste are
contained in Executive Order 13101. For recycling and waste prevention, each agency
is required to establish a goal for diversion of solid waste from landfilling or incineration.
The current DoD goal is in the Measure of Merit (MoM) "Non-Hazardous Solid Waste
Diversion Rate" issued 13 May 1998. By the end of FY 2005, the goal is to ensure that
the diversion rate for nonhazardous solid waste is greater than 40 percent, while
ensuring that integrated nonhazardous solid waste management programs provide an
economic benefit when compared with disposal using landfilling and incineration alone.
1-4.5 Planning and Execution Guidance. This UFC contains information that will
help with planning and execution of projects involving the recovery and recycling of
building demolition waste to reduce landfill volume. Tables 2-1 and 2-2 list parameters
(Objectives and Conditions) associated with the methods for disposing of demolition
waste (Demolish, Recycle, Recover, and Deconstruct). In electronic form, each
element of the matrices is hyperlinked to its associated text paragraph for easy
document browsing.
1-4.6 Definition of Terms. Appendix B contains definitions of terms. Appendix C lists
State-by-State resources for C&D waste recovery, recycling, and reuse. The first page
of the Appendix contains a map, which, in electronic form, contains hyperlinks between
the mapped State and that State's listed resources.
1-4.7 EPA Information. Please check out EPA's new website on the issue of
construction and demolition (C&D) debris at http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-
hw/debris. C&D debris, the waste from the construction, renovation and demolition
of buildings (and other structures), constitutes an enormous volume of materials. This
website includes information and links to many diverse resources and organizations
covering the characterization, reduction, reuse, recycling and management of C&D
debris.
