New Clean Construction Demolition Debris Requirements
New Clean Construction / Demolition Debris Requirements
New requirements for Clean Construction Demolition Debris (CCDD) were a bit of a shock for most contractors who had truck loads of excavated soil refused at the CCDD facilities and paid to have soils returned to their job sites.
As of July 1, 2008, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) required all CCDD facilities to obtain a permit from IEPA. The new regulation is intended to set standards for what Illinois considers “uncontaminated soils”.
What does this mean to any company, municipality or property owner intending to excavate soils? CCDD facilities are now required to obtain a certification that the soil is uncontaminated.
Anderson Environmental is currently providing this assessment service to excavators.
These new regulations took affect in the middle of construction season and many truck loads of soil were rejected after soil from the same area had already been accepted the previous month. Most contractors and haulers were not even aware of these new regulations and projects were put on halt until the proper documents were obtained.
Rejected loads can not be returned to the site of origin for final disposal. These rejected loads will now be documented by the CCDD facilities and reported to the Illinois EPA. The Illinois EPA will follow up and request
documentation for the rejected loads final disposal. This creates a huge mess on job sites because the soils are sitting at the site waiting for a waste profile analysis so they can be sent to a licensed landfill. Meanwhile, the costs keep adding up
as truck loads of soil are returned to the site and now paying landfill rates.
Don't be caught off guard! Let AEC handle the assessment of your intended soil removal and supply you with the proper certifications to get those truck loads of soil to the CCDD facilities without issue. Please Contact AEC if you are interested or have any questions.
