Bulk Soils

SRWRA may, from time to time and at its complete discretion, elect to receive bulk soil.  At these times, it’s important to note, SRWRA will only consider the receival of bulk soil that conforms to the following requirements:

• Has a soil classification report completed by an environmental consultant. As a guide, and noting SRWRA does not specifically endorse any particular entity, suitably qualified contaminated land environmental consultants can be found via the ACLCA website. CLICK HERE
• The soil classification report classifies the soil as Waste Fill or Intermediate Waste
• The soils come from a non Potentially Contaminating Activity (PCA) site
• No Bitumen nor Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) present in soils
• Soils must be natural. Topsoil and green waste must be stripped off

Specific requirements based on soil classification

Waste Fill		Intermediate Waste
Waste fill material must be <100mm in all directions Materials with a geotechnical classification of: clayey sand, clayey gravel, gravelly clay, sandy clay, and/or silty clay Materials contain at least: 70 to 100% passing the 19 mm sieve, 50 to 100 % passing the 2.36 mm sieve, and 20 to 100 % passing the 0.075 mm sieve		Intermediate Waste material must be <150mm in all directions Materials with a geotechnical classification of clayey sand, sandy clay, gravelly clay, and silty clay Materials contain at least 25 % passing the 0.425 mm sieve
Please note: SRWRA is located in an area that has naturally occurring barium and as such the barium limit has been removed from the Waste Fill classification under its SA EPA licence.
