November 1999. The model ordinance has been revised to align with CALGreen requirements and the increase in C &D recycling capacity due to new infrastructure and technology. (Attachment 1: Revised Construction & Demolition Model Ordinance) To assist cities in implementing and enforcing their C &D ordinances, the Agency has initiated a pilot program with the Green Halo Web Based Tool (WBT). The Green Halo WBT is a programmable database (available via a password protected website) which enables cities and counties to effectively manage their C &D regulations and requirements while reducing staff time. It provides permit holders with an easy, step by step process for electronically submitting Waste Management /Recycling plans to cities and counties. Cities can customize the WBT by designating approved C &D facilities and haulers as well as identifying diversion recycling requirements per their C &D ordinance. The WBT provides real -time monitoring of a project's waste diversion activities. The WBT is free for cities and counties; a small fee is charged to the permit holder to access the website and use the tool. The Agency has purchased licenses on behalf of the member agencies to distribute to permit holders to encourage participation in the pilot program. Member agencies participating in the pilot program receive licenses (at no cost) to distribute to permit holders whose projects require a waste management plan per the City's C &D ordinance. The CALGreen mandatory provisions also include several landscape measures that extend the new CA Model Water Efficiency Landscape (CA WELO) ordinance that the Department of Water Resources required to be adopted by all cities and counties by January, 2010. For both residential and nonresidential projects it requires weather or soil based irrigation controllers and construction stormwater measures. And for nonresidential projects only, CALGreen requires separate water meters or submeters for landscape irrigation not covered by CA WELO which are between 1,000 sq ft and 5,000 sq ft, and it requires the submittal of a water budget for irrigation for all permitted projects with landscapes. Cities that recently implemented the CA -WELO will need to update their landscape compliance checklists and potentially lower the thresholds for which these practices apply. The Agency has a Bay - Friendly version of the CA-WELO which it has recommended that member agencies adopt. Agency staff will be updating the Bay- Friendly standards to reflect changes in CALGreen, CA WELO and the new federal stormwater guidelines. The Agency has provided member agencies with a Bay- Friendly version of the model CA-WELO. If member agencies are looking to formally adopt or update their version of CA -WELO, WMA staff recommends using the Bay - Friendly version and will provide a comparison between CALGreen mandatory measures and CA-WELO. WMA staff recommends that member agencies take the following actions to comply with CALGreen mandatory provisions: 1. Train staff so that they will be able to effectively enforce CALGreen mandatory measures. Consider the use of specialty inspectors for selected measures if in -house resources are insufficient for enforcement. 2. If amending an existing C &D ordinance, utilize the Agency's updated model C &D ordinance. 3. Use the Green Halo WBT to implement and enforce C &D ordinances. 4. Use the BF Version of CA -WELO for adoption.
