ABSTRACT

  • Severe Damage To 2 Large Shopping Malls
  • Hail Storm In Denver, Hurricane Maria In Puerto Rico
  • Large Quantity Of Waste Generated
  • Not Recycled

These Storms Provide A Learning Experience And An Opportunity To Provide A Resilient Framework For Redevelopment After Natural Disasters And To Prevent Materials From Unnecessarily Entering Landfills In The Future.

DENVER, COLORADO - HAILSTORM

  • May 2017, “Billion Dollar Storm”
  • Hailstorm  Torrential Rain  Heavy Winds
  • Golf-ball Sized Hail (1.68in, Average Size =

0.8in-1in)

  • 4-5 In. Of Rainfall And Then 4-6 In. Of

Snowmelt  Flash Flooding Problems

  • 2.3 BILLION In Damages
  • Cause Of A Hailstorm
  • Instability, High Dew Point, Strong Updraft

WHERE DID THE WASTE GO?

Mold, Porous Materials, Asbestos

RCRA Subtitle D Landfills:

Non-Haz Industrial Waste Landfill Construction And Demolition Debris Landfill

Merchandise

Shredded And Burned (To Prevent Resale And Health Risk) Landfill

EPA: “Favors Source Reduction To Reduce Both The Volume And Toxicity Of Waste And To Increase The Useful Life Of Manufactured Products “

WASTE AND PUERTO RICO

Dealt With The Issue Of Landfills Already At Full Capacity

Mostly Salvaged What Could Be Reused

  • Metal Frameworks
  • Plumbing Fixtures
  • Flooring That Only Needed To Be

Cleaned

Plaza Carolina Mall Waste

  • Approx. 275, 30 Yard Dumpsters
  • 1 Dumpster = 20’ Length, 8’

Width, 6’ Height

  • Approx. 10 Tons Per Dumpster

(Drywall, Carpet, Ceiling Tile)

RESILIENCE

“RESILIENCE WAS VIEWED AS THE ABILITY OF A SYSTEM TO PREPARE FOR THREATS, ABSORB IMPACTS, RECOVER AND ADAPT FOLLOWING PERSISTENT STRESS OR A DISRUPTIVE EVENT.”

PREVENTION OF WASTE

  • Use Of Improved Building Materials
  • Eliminate Asbestos When Possible
  • Flooring
  • Avoid Carpet And Wood Flooring – Use Tiling,

Polished Concrete, Or Vinyl Flooring

  • Use Moisture-Resistant Wall Materials
  • Steel Studs And Beams; Cement Boards; Concrete

Block; Glass Block; Brick; Plaster

  • Use Moisture-Resistant Flooring Materials
  • Clay, Quarry, Ceramic Tiles; Concrete Materials
  • Plastic Lumber
  • Decay Resistant Subflooring (Redwood, Cedar,

Cypress, Oak)

  • Nonporous Stones And Waterproof Grout
slide-43
SLIDE 43

RESILIENCE

Resilient Infrastructure Implementation

  • Sturdier Roofs
  • Flood Resistant Design
  • Building With Materials That

Can Get Wet Or Easily Dry

01

Technology Choices, Availability, And Access

  • Hard vs. Soft Tech

Hazard ID, Social and Administrative

02

Connecting Short- And Long-term Actions

  • Long Term Sustainability
