Extra Soil: What Can Go Where?

The soil movement limits imposed by regulation 153/04 on July 1, 2011 have greatly complicated the task of contractors and developers wishing to obtain or dispose of excess construction soil. Strictly speaking, the new regulation only applies if the destination site wishes to be able to obtain a Record of Site Condition. However, since it would be foolish for a property owner to lightly give up the option of obtaining a Record of Site Condition for future sale or development, knowledgeable property owners across the province are starting to follow the new rules, and to insist on receiving only soil that has been tested and proven to meet Schedule I (background) levels of contamination.
