SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTATION

• Narrative listing points of generation applicable to the facility and how materials in each area are currently being diverted via the highest method possible on the zero waste hierarchy. Narrative must also describe review process. Documentation could also include written reports or meeting minutes, if applicable.
