WMGM035 (pdf) 1. Crushing, grinding, and screening of uncontaminated waste
concrete, unpainted brick, unpainted block, waste asphalt and
reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) from roadways, curbs, sidewalks
for beneficial use as:
(a) An aggregate, a sub-grade or a sub-base material for roadway or
parking lot construction;
(b) A construction material for compacted roadway shoulder
applications covered with a sealer (i.e., a thin bituminous coating
intended to limit the reclaimed asphalt pavement materials from
washing and leaching); and/or
(c) Blending with other virgin aggregate as a roadway sub-base for
roadway construction use.
2. Shredding, grinding and screening of timber waste (i.e., tree
stumps, limbs, roots, rubbing materials, and shrubs) for beneficial use
as:
(a) a mulch material for landscaping purposes;
(b) wholesale purposes; and/or
(c) further processing off-site in the production of mulch material.
WMGM038 (pdf)Grinding, shredding, and screening of untreated and unpainted standard gypsum wallboard, commonly known as Type X, generated at residential home and commercial construction sites, or manufacturing facilities, and backing paper for beneficial use as: (i) a component of mushroom growing media, (ii) a soil additive material, (iii) a soil amendment, (iv) a component or ingredient in a manufacturing process, and (v) an animal bedding material.
WMGM039 (pdf)The general permit is for the processing and beneficial use of post-consumer asphalt shingles (tear-offs) and pre-consumer asphalt shingles (i.e., imperfections, tabs, trimming scraps, etc., generated in the manufacturing of new asphalt shingles and damaged, unused shingles) as an ingredient in hot-mix and cold-mix asphalt paving material, a component of a sub-base material, as dust control on rural roads when applied with a binder, and as a component or ingredient in fuel used in cement or manufacturing or in the generation of electricity or steam.
