Major projects administered through the State of Wisconsin, Department of Administration, and Division of Facilities Development require contractors to follow a Construction Waste Management Plan, with specific waste diversion goals of 50% or greater. Contractors must submit waste management plans, monthly progress reports, and a final report through the State's WasteCap TRACE online reporting website before construction starts.

- CWM Progress Reports: Required monthly or with each Request for Payment. Progress Report shall include the quantity of each material recycled, reused, or salvaged, the receiving party, and the applicable diversion rates. The contractor shall maintain a record of related weight tickets, manifests, receipts, and invoices for review by DFD upon request.
- CWM Final Report: At Substantial Completion, the General Prime Contractor shall submit a Final Report summarizing total waste and trash quantities and rates for all Contractors throughout the project.
