~- 3 ;J to be landfilled. The other half we believe may be too ` contaminated to be readily retrievable. The five percent reusables is based on studies from reuse facilities elsewhere in the country. TY~ose two figures total 22$, we therefore believe 25$ is an aggressive yet realistic goal. The previous waste characterizations showed that 43$ of construction and demolition waste is "inert" including rock, brick, soil, concrete and asphalt. We plan further waste characterization work during the next several months to verify waste composition. We will also review in-house use of purchased rock and cover dirt at the landfill to determine if recycled inert construction material could be substituted. If the inert material is deemed usable on-site or otherwise marketable, then we would recommend that the Owners Group consider revising the goal to 50$ reduction in what is landfilled. Recommendation We recommend that the Owners Group adopt the attached resolution endorsing a benchmark year of 1994-95 and waste reduction goal of~ 25$ of construction and demolition waste per capita, excluding inert materials.
