Excess Soil
Understanding your land, above and below.
Ontario Regulation 406/19: On-site and Excess Soil Management outlines requirements related to on-site processing of excavated soil or crushed rock, and the reuse and disposal of excess soil from project areas.
You may have:
- responsibilities for determining where excess soil can be beneficially reused in a way that is protective of human health and the environment
- excess soil reuse planning requirements that are to be in place for certain projects before excess soil is to be removed from the project area (such as soil characterization, tracking, and registration)
- need of low-risk processing activities that may proceed without needing to obtain an environmental compliance approval (ECA) for waste, if certain rules are met
With over 20 million m3 of soil moving in Ontario, new rules were needed to ensure the environment was respected . We worked with the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks to develop a new set of guidelines. These new rules were subsequently implemented.
To continue to support your projects, Egmond Associates LTD offers:
- sampling and testing for excess soil.
- support in getting permits for soil receiving sites.
