Notes: These organic materials may be processed through composting works to formulate valuable recycled organic products. Suitability of compostable organic waste as a feedstock is dependent on the location, site design, processes and potential to cause environmental harm.

Table 1 Waste Soil - Physical Characteristics

WASTE FILL INTERMEDIATE SOIL

• Waste Fill means waste consisting of clay, concrete, rock, sand, soil or other inert mineralogical matter in pieces not exceeding 100 millimetres in length and containing chemical substances in concentrations (calculated in a manner determined by the Authority) less than the concentrations for those substances set out in Table 2 overleaf (but does not include waste consisting of or containing asbestos or bitumen - as defined in Regulation 3-lnterpretation under Part 1 of the Environment Protection Regulations 2009.

• Not containing significant organic material such as timber, vegetable matter or other waste materials.

• Intermediate Soil means waste consisting of clay, concrete, rock, sand, soil or other mineralogical matter and containing chemical substances in concentrations (calculated in a manner determined by the Authority) that exceeds the Waste Fill criteria, but is less than the concentrations for those substances set out for Intermediate Soil (and does not include other waste including asbestos or bitumen, nor any significant organic matter).

Notes regarding Table 2: Waste Soil - Chemical Characteristics

1. The assessment of the chemical analysis carried out on samples of the waste soil in accordance with this condition may include scientifically valid statistical analysis to justify classification of the waste soil (for total concentrations mg/kg) in accordance with the values listed in this table. Such statistical analysis may include 95% Upper Confidence Limit (UCL)

I applied to the total dry weight results to demonstrate compliance criteria are not exceeded. No individual result shall be r greater than 2.5 times the stated total dry weight criteria. This does not apply to the leachate criteria - each sample result

for leachate must be less than the maximum criteria.

2. '#' indicates that leachate testing for that chemical substance is not required provided that the concentration of that chemical substance in mg/kg (dry weight) does not exceed the value specified for that category of waste soil.
