12. Receiving waste acid sulfate soil for treatment – L08

Sites receiving Actual Acid Sulfate Soil or Potential Acid Sulfate Soil for treatment or amelioration must hold an L08 registration. This doesn’t include soil that has contaminant concentrations exceeding the upper limits for fill material containment concentrations. This is following the Waste Disposal Categories - Characteristics and Thresholds guidelines. Or, if the soil contains asbestos.

  • L08 conditions

    Note: Where a condition includes the words ‘placeholder’, values will be populated with information that is specific to your site.

    Where a condition includes a reference to a ‘Figure’ or ‘Appendix’ information will be populated that’s specific to your site.
