CCDD Services
As of July 2010, the
law governing Owners and Operators of Clean Construction or Demolition Debris
(CCDD) and uncontaminated soil fill operations changed. The main items in
the new law* that effect contractors such as yourself are:
1. Document the
following information for each load of CCDD or uncontaminated soil received:
a. Hauler name, site of
origin address, owner or operator of the site of origin;
b.Weight in tons or
volume in cubic yards; and
c. Date received.
2. Obtain for all soil:
a. Certification from
the owner or operator of the site of origin that the site has never
been used
for commercial or industrial purposes and is presumed to be uncontaminated
soil; or
b. Certification from a
licensed professional engineer that the soil is uncontaminated.
3. Confirm that the CCDD
or uncontaminated soil was not removed from a site as part of
a cleanup or
removal.
4. Visually inspect and
screen each load of soil with a device such as photo ionization
detector, flame
ionization detector, or another device approved by the Agency that
detects
volatile organic compounds (already required of permitted CCDD fill
operations);
5. Document all
activities under the Interim Requirements. Documentation of any
chemical analysis must include, without limitation:
a. Copy of the lab
analysis;
b. Laboratory
accreditation status; and
c. Laboratory authorized
agent certification.
