A. Requirements of a Waste Diversion Plan. The Director shall promulgate rules that define the requirements of an acceptable waste diversion plan within the meaning of subsection 23.40.006.D. Among the requirements shall be minimum levels of building materials that must be diverted from landfills. The levels shall be established by the Director on the basis of a review of practices employed in the relevant industries in the region. The levels may vary by disposal method or type of material and shall reflect, in the Director's opinion, the degree of waste diversion reasonably attainable through the use of accepted industry practices. The Director may alter the levels as industry practices evolve. B. Demonstration of Compliance. The applicant shall demonstrate compliance with the approved waste diversion plan by submitting a report to the Director documenting, at a minimum, the amount and manner in which building materials were diverted from landfills. The applicant must submit the report no later than 90 days after issuance of the demolition permit, or such later date as may be allowed by the Director for good cause. C. Violation. Failure to demonstrate compliance with the waste diversion plan is a violation of the Land Use Code. (Ord. 123649, § 6, 2011; Ord. 122901, § 2, 2009.)
