Our project is being built on what was once a City-owned asphalt parking lot. All the asphalt was removed, taken to a recycling plant, and crushed. We are not able to re-use the asphalt on our particular site for fill, however the asphalt will be used as fill on several other projects around town. The company that hauled the asphalt specializes in recycling and redistributing concrete, rock, and asphalt for use as fill in construction projects. Although the book states the asphalt needs to be crushed and re-used on site, we feel we are meeting the intent of the credit since we are diverting demolition debris from landfill and incinerators, and we are redirecting reusable materials to appropriate sites.
The credit intent has been met as demolition debris has been diverted from disposal in landfills and incinerators. In this instance, reusable materials have been redirected to appropriate sites. The credit does not require that crushed asphalt be reused on site, so long as it is diverted from landfills and incinerators. On-site reuse of crushed concrete, masonry or asphalt is also acceptable in the calculation for this credit. Applicable Internationally.
