    Soil and debris with other contamination

AER oilfield waste code.

Soil & debris contaminated with substances other than hydrocarbons or sulphur. An AER oilfield code.

Is Alberta SOILOTH hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Alberta SOILOTH is soil and debris with other contamination in the AER oilfield-waste system. The waste must come from upstream facilities, wells or pipelines on that route. The code doesn’t say whether it is dangerous oilfield waste.

Dangerous oilfield waste stays on the AER route within Alberta and needs no Alberta hazardous-waste manifest unless it leaves Alberta. Record the AER code in the oilfield waste information. A regulated export also needs the federal movement assessment, and a generic industrial category doesn’t replace the AER code.

What does Alberta SOILOTH cover?

Soil or debris contaminated by a chemical, solvent, pesticide, herbicide, mercury, another metal, produced water or salt water, including contaminated hydrovac daylighting material. The code names the stream for the AER system. Its actual composition and properties still decide whether it is dangerous and how it is handled.

Is soil and debris with other contamination always Alberta SOILOTH?

CodeWhen it fits
SOILOTHThe waste comes from the AER upstream oilfield route and is this material.

Origin matters. Waste from an unrelated industry doesn’t become oilfield waste because its material has a similar name.
