C. Recovered and salvaged materials from the deconstruction phase shall qualify toward meeting the diversion requirements of this Article. D. Recovered or salvaged materials may be given away, sold on the premises, or may be removed to a reuse warehouse or other reuse facility for storage or sale. E. In the event that it is determined that no materials can be salvaged for reuse from a particular project, written documentation shall be provided to the City as to the reasons why salvaging cannot take place at least three (3) working days before demolition begins. Recovered and salvaged designated recyclable and reusable materials from the deconstruction phase shall qualify to be counted in meeting the diversion requirements of this Section. Sec. 9.193. LANDFILL DIVERSION REQUIREMENTS: A. It is required that at least the following specified percentages of C&D debris waste (by weight) generated from every covered project in the following categories shall be diverted from landfills by using recycling, reuse, salvage, or other diversion programs. All waste from the covered project site must be delivered to a South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA) Certified Recycling Facility as described in Section 9.194 or facilities listed or certified by other Bay Area jurisdictions with a C&D debris ordinance. 1. All full demolition projects (residential and non-residential): Projects shall be required to divert a minimum of sixty (60) percent of total generated C&D debris tonnage and one hundred (100) percent of inert material from the project. 2.
