The Problem:
Approximately 7,000 m3 of soil material was imported to the site and stockpiled in preparation for residential development of former farm land. The client required an assessment to comply with EPA requirements for reuse of material.
Project Summary:
iEnvi completed an inspection of the soil stockpile, sampling and laboratory testing to characterise the material in accordance with the SA EPA Standard for the Production and Use of Waste Derived Fill (2013) and the criteria for the classification of waste-including Industrial and Commercial Waste (Listed) and Waste Soil (2010).
iEnvi classified the material as waste derived fill (WDF). The characterisation of the material allowed it to be reused onsite.
Solution & Benefit:
Based on the characterisation of soil/waste by iEnvi, the stockpiled material could be reused onsite, significantly reducing the client’s contribution to landfill as well as the associated waste disposal costs.
iEnvi provide waste classification, exemptions and reuse advice to major infrastructure projects and developments in NSW, QLD and VIC.
