As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
COVERED PROJECT
A construction, renovation, or demolition project for which
a building permit or a demolition permit is required, and for which
a dumpster or roll-off container shall be placed on premises for the
purpose of placement of solid waste materials.
A debris recovery plan shall be filed with the Township Recycling
Coordinator prior to the commencement of any activity for which Township
approval, as further identified above, is required. The debris recovery
plan shall identify the types and estimated quantities of construction
and demolition debris to be generated from the project, how each material
will be managed, and the name of each facility or service provider
that the entity will use to manage each material. The plan shall further
detail how the applicant shall ensure that a minimum of 50% of the
materials to be generated will be separated and recycled.
The Township Recycling Coordinator shall review the information
submitted as required herein and determine whether the owner of the
entity carrying out the covered project has complied, or failed to
comply with the diversion requirement. The determination regarding
compliance will be provided to the owner of the entity carrying out
the covered project in writing.
An owner of the entity carrying out the covered project may
appeal a determination of failure to comply to the provisions herein
to the Township Committee within 30 days of the decision or determination.

for the appeal. A decision by the Township Committee shall be final.

to detect, by sound or sight, the presence of any recyclable material.
