| Characterization
of Building-Related Construction and Demolition Debris
in the United States
(United States Environmental
Protection Agency)
 In
1998, the United States Environmental Protection Agency,
published a report about Construction and Demolition
(C&D) debris entitled “Characterization of
Building-Related Constructions and Demolition Debris
in the United States”. Robert Brickner, Senior
Vice-President of Gershman, Brickner and Bratton, Inc.
(GBB), was a contributing writer, reviewed the entire
report and made significant contributions, particularly
in the sections on C&D debris from road, bridges,
and other non-building activities.
The purpose of the report
was to characterize the quantity and composition of
building-related C&D debris generated in the United
States, and to summarize the waste management practices
for this waste stream. C&D debris is produced when
new structures are built and when existing structures
are renovated or demolished. Structures include all
residential and nonresidential buildings as well as
public works projects, such as streets and highways,
bridges, piers, and dams. Many state definitions of
C&D debris also include trees, stumps, earth, and
rock from the clearing of construction sites. The focus
of the report was on building-related wastes, including
construction, demolition, and renovation of residential
and nonresidential buildings.
