**Update October 1, 2013: This ruling has been amended per the 4/1/13 update. This ruling is valid and invalidates LI 5222.
Land clearing debris such as trees branches and soil do not contribute toward diverted waste. Excavated/extracted raw materials like clay, limestone and rock as well as previously manufactured materials such as concrete, asphalt, and stone contribute to diverted material when processed and re-used on or off-site and it's new purpose is of beneficial use or has open market value. Materials found on site that are not part of a previous construction (raw materials like clay, limestone, and rock) that are not reused or re-processed for beneficial or an open market product are considered land clearing debris and are excluded from credit calculation.
