    Contaminated soil

South Australia N120: identify the controlled waste or other contaminant that makes the soil fit this entry.

Soils contaminated with a controlled waste in South Australia. The contaminant that brings the soil in must be identified.

Is South Australia N120 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. The SA EPA operational code list and its table of waste requiring tracking are separate, so a code can be on one and not the other. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.

N120 is in the SA table for waste requiring tracking, within the state or interstate. Enter it with the SA description on the WasteTracker transport certificate, against a matching consignment authorisation. The consignor, transporter and receiver each complete their own part. The SA tracking exemptions still apply.

What does South Australia N120 cover?

Soil contaminated by controlled waste goes here. The contaminant must be controlled waste or another substance on South Australia’s list.
