Woody debris can be reduced in volume by <br />approximately 75 percent, based on data obtained during reduction <br />operations. The terms “chipping” and “mulching” are often used <br />interchangeably. <br />Construction & Demolition <br />Debris (C&D) <br />The definition of construction and demolition debris may vary between <br />States. Construction and demolition debris can be defined as <br />damaged components of buildings and structures such as lumber and <br />wood, gypsum wallboard, glass, metal, roofing material, tile, carpeting <br />and floor coverings, window coverings, pipe, concrete, fully cured <br />asphalt, equipment, furnishings, and fixtures. <br />Debris Items and materials broken, destroyed, or displaced by a natural or <br />man-made Federally declared disaster. Examples of debris include, <br />but are not limited to, trees, construction and demolition material, and <br />personal property. <br />Debris Clearance Clearing roads by pushing debris to the roadside to accommodate <br />emergency traffic. <br />Debris Management Site (DMS) A location where debris is sorted, processed, reduced in volume, <br />and/or disposed of (if debris management activities take place at a <br />permanent disposal site). <br />Debris Monitoring Actions taken by applicants in order to document eligible quantities <br />and reasonable expenses during debris activities to ensure that the <br />work complies with the contract scope-of-work and/or is eligible for <br />Public Assistance grant reimbursement. <br />Debris Removal Picking up debris and taking it to a debris management site, <br />composting facility, recycling facility, permanent landfill, or other reuse <br />or end-use facility. <br />Demolition The act or process of reducing a structure, as defined by State or local <br />code, to a collapsed state. It contrasts with deconstruction, which is <br />the taking down of a building while carefully preserving valuable <br />elements for reuse.
