Contaminated Soil

Contaminated soil is earth material that contains hazardous substances, pollutants, or other unwanted materials as a result of industrial activity, chemical spills, or improper waste disposal. Unlike clean or screened soil, contaminated soil is not suitable for general landscaping, gardening, or construction fill due to the presence of toxins or debris that can pose health and environmental risks.

The presence of contaminants significantly limits the use of this material. It is typically managed through specialized remediation, removal, or containment processes rather than being used directly in construction or landscaping projects. Handling contaminated soil requires adherence to environmental regulations and safety protocols to prevent further spread of pollutants. For any project, it is crucial to identify and properly manage contaminated soil to ensure site safety and regulatory compliance.
