Hydrocarbon, sulphur & other contamination each have a soil code. Metal leachate limits like arsenic & lead also matter.

Definition (i.2)	British Columbia	Ex situ on-site media

How do Canadian codes for contaminated soil differ?

Quebec's residual hazardous material definition excludes contaminated soils, so an MDR category isn't the default soil code there. Federal cross-border rules and other provinces' soil requirements can still apply.

How should contaminated soil be described for collection in Canada?

A contamination result at the site isn't automatically a hazardous-waste classification. Keep the waste test, concentration, physical state and planned destination, and use the code whose full wording matches.

When is contaminated soil excluded or below the paperwork threshold in Canada?

Place	Exclusions, thresholds and applicable routes
Quebec	Contaminated soils are excluded from the hazardous-material definition. Soil management and federal movements are handled separately. art. 2(1)
British Columbia	Contaminated soil, sediment, surface water or groundwater that stays at its site of origin is excluded. Ex situ on-site media are also outside paragraph (i.2) while stored for transport from the contaminated site within 60 days (or an approved period), for remediation under the Contaminated Sites Regulation, or for another approved purpose. 1, hazardous waste definition (t) and 1(3)
Manitoba	Petroleum-hydrocarbon-contaminated soils that meet the stated BTEX and PAH criteria and hold no other section 2(1)(b) substance are excluded, but only when sent to a licensed soil treatment facility or another facility the director approves. Other contaminated soils need classifying. s. 2(2)(d)–(e).php?reg=195%2F2015)
