I've seen previous discussions as to equipment clean-up water waste not being applicable to this credit, but in our project, water and aggregate is generated by the installation of materials. My question is this: with a sprayed-on cementitious fireproofing, waste aggregate and water is hauled off by a washout waste contractor and is taken to a ready-mix recycling facility. There are haul tags to substantiate this. Can we include this material in MR 2 calcs? I would say yes, and there's no downside. Do others agree?

My gut feeling is that this will not fly; however, if you are not counting on the washout water and aggregate to help you get over a percentage threshold for MRc2, I don’t see the downside in including it either. Consider checking out LI ID#5764 (https://www.usgbc.org/leedinterpretations/LISearch.aspx?liaccessid=5764) for a NC-v2.1 situation regarding bentonite. Consider reporting back to LEEDuser if you are successful.
