5.106.2 STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION FOR PROJECTS THAT DISTURB ONE OR MORE ACRES OF
LAND. Comply with all lawfully enacted stormwater discharge regulations for projects that (1) disturb one acre or more of
land, or (2) disturb less than one acre of land but are part of a larger common plan of development sale.
Note: Projects that (1) disturb one acre or more of land, or (2) disturb less than one acre of land but are part of the
larger common plan of development or sale must comply with the post-construction requirements detailed in the
applicable National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General permit for Stormwater Discharges
Associated with Construction and Land Disturbance Activities issued by the State Water Resources Control Board or
the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (for projects in the Lake Tahoe Hydrologic Unit).
The NPDES permits require postconstruction runoff (post-project hydrology) to match the preconstruction runoff
(pre-project hydrology) with the installation of postconstruction stormwater management measures. The NPDES
permits emphasize runoff reduction through on-site stormwater use, interception, evapotranspiration, and infiltration
through nonstructural controls, such as Low Impact Development (LID) practices, and conversation design measures.
Stormwater volume that cannot be addressed using nonstructural practices is required to be captured in structural
practices and be approved by the enforcing agency.
Refer to the current applicable permits on the State Water Resources Control Board website at:
www.waterboards.ca.gov/constructionstormwater. Consideration to the stormwater runoff management measures
should be given during the initial design process for appropriate integration into site development.

EFFICIENCY
SECTION 5.401 GENERAL
5.401.1 SCOPE. The provisions of this chapter specify the requirements of achieving material conservation, resource
efficiency, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction through protection of buildings from exterior moisture,
construction waste diversion, employment of techniques to reduce pollution through recycling of materials, the installation
of products with lower GHG emissions and building commissioning or testing and adjusting.
SECTION 5.408 CONSTRUCTION WASTE REDUCTION, DISPOSAL AND
RECYCLING
5.408.1 CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT. Recycle and/or salvage for reuse a minimum of 65% of the
non-hazardous construction and demolition waste in accordance with Section 5.408.1.1, 5.408.1.2 or 5.408.1.3; or meet a
local construction and demolition waste management ordinance, whichever is more stringent.
5.408.1.1 Construction waste management plan. Where a local jurisdiction does not have a construction and
demolition waste management ordinance, submit a construction waste management plan that:
1. Identifies the construction and demolition waste materials to be diverted from disposal by efficient
usage, recycling, reuse on the project or salvage for future use or sale.
2. Determines if construction and demolition waste materials will be sorted on-site (source-separated) or
bulk mixed (single stream).
3. Identifies diversion facilities where construction and demolition waste material collected will be taken.
4. Specifies that the amount of construction and demolition waste materials diverted shall be calculated
byweight or volume, but not by both.
5.408.1.2 Waste Management Company. Utilize a waste management company that can provide verifiable
documentation that the percentage of construction and demolition waste material diverted from the landfill
complies with this section.
Note: The owner or contractor shall make the determination if the construction and demolition waste material
will be diverted by a waste management company.
Exceptions to Sections 5.408.1.1 and 5.408.1.2:
1. Excavated soil and land-clearing debris.
2. Alternate waste reduction methods developed by working with local agencies if diversion or recycle
facilities capable of compliance with this item do not exist.
3. Demolition waste meeting local ordinance or calculated in consideration of local recycling facilities
and markets.
5.408.1.3 Waste stream reduction alternative. The combined weight of new construction disposal that does
not exceed two pounds per square foot of building area may be deemed to meet the 65% minimum requirement as
approved by the enforcing agency.
5.408.1.4 Documentation. Documentation shall be provided to the enforcing agency which demonstrates
compliance with Sections 5.408.1.1, through 5.408.1.3. The waste management plan shall be updated as
necessary and shall be accessible during construction for examination by the enforcing agency.
