The City of Napa has adopted a construction and demolition (C&D) debris recycling ordinance to redirect C&D materials away from the landfills (Napa Municipal Code, Chapter 15.32). The ordinance requires that 100% of “designated” materials be site-separated on site and recycled. In addition, for projects that exceed $100,000 or 5,000 square feet (“covered projects”), the project must achieve a minimum overall salvage or recycle rate of 50% of all C&D debris generated, and a Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan (WRRP) must be submitted and approved before a building or demolition permit can be issued. Noncompliance with a WRRP plan may result in a fine ranging from 1% to 5% of project valuation.

Please complete the following form for construction and demolition materials produced as a result of work performed in the City of Napa. The City of Napa’s Materials Diversion (Recycling) Division can provide limited assistance to applicants in developing and implementing a WRRP. Should you have any questions regarding this form or the C&D Waste Recycling Program, please call the City of Napa Materials Diversion (Recycling) Division at (707) 257-9326. For covered projects, a $300 one-time, non-refundable administration fee will be due at time permit fees are paid.

Fill in the boxes below and add up all material quantities for each column. Calculate the estimated diversion percentage in the section at the bottom of this worksheet and enter the percentage on page 2, line 4a. of this form.

Briefly state how waste materials will be handled at your job site to ensure salvage/reuse or recycling. Also explain how you will inform your workers/sub-contractors of your Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan requirements and ensure their participation, including site separation of “designated” recyclable materials.

Please fill out the section below if you believe that your project is entitled to an exemption and not required to divert or recycle C&D debris. If you feel you are unable to recycle materials from the designated recyclable materials list specified in the Ordinance (Napa Municipal Code, Chapter 15.32), please note why (e.g. asbestos debris). If you feel you are unable to meet the diversion requirements of the Ordinance, please explain why and propose a diversion rate which you believe is feasible for your project.

Please complete the worksheet on the following page that will help identify the types of materials, estimated quantities, and how the waste material will be reduced, recycled or disposed at your project site. Estimates should be calculated in tons.

This worksheet lists materials typically generated from a construction or demolition project and provides formulas for converting common units (i.e. cubic yards, square feet and board feet) to tons. If you use volume to weigh conversion to estimate tonnage, it is required that you use the conversion rates established below:
