With disposal costs on the rise, generators of many wastes are proposing to reuse their waste in new products. Each NEWMOA state has developed a program, called a beneficial use determination (BUD) process, to evaluate these proposals. NEWMOA established a BUD Workgroup that produced several products for state use only: a searchable database of all the BUDs that have been issued by the NEWMOA states and a table comparing the BUD application requirements of the NEWMOA states.

Current work on the NEWMOA BUDs database includes adding new data fields, updating data, and adding BUD information for additional states. Note: the database is accessible to state and federal government only. A username and password are required. For more information, please contact Jennifer Griffith at .

The Workgroup produced the following fact sheets for the public on selected waste/use combinations:

• Beneficial Use of Non-Hazardous Coal Power Plant Fly Ash as Flowable Fill [PDF], April 2001
• Beneficial Use of Tire Shreds as Lightweight Fill [PDF], April 2001
• Beneficial Use of Wood Ash on Agricultural Land [PDF], April 2001
• Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG) Program [PDF], January 2002
