WM1: Mulch On-Site

(2 points)

Purpose

Reduce emissions from material hauling, reduce contributions to the waste stream and landfills, and keep organic nutrients on site as soil inputs.

Criteria

Supplement other erosion and sedimentation control measures by grinding and reusing organic materials from site-clearing and/or construction framing materials. Treated lumber should not be ground and reused. All grinding of material should be done on site and material used on site.

Verification 

• Erosion and sedimentation control plans that clearly specify on-site grinding and use of organic materials. 
• Inspection by an ECC Technical Advisor.
