    South Australia interstate Policy: contaminated soil

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

Soil contaminated with a controlled waste, such as fuel, solvent or heavy metals, from spills & old industrial sites.

Is SA interstate policy N120 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. This is South Australia's interstate controlled-waste Policy wording, kept apart from the current SA EPA operational table. Whether a waste is controlled also depends on the hazardous-characteristic test and the movement rules.

For a controlled border movement using SA WasteTracker, enter the accepted operational code and its SA description in the waste-code field of the transport certificate, against the matching consignment authorisation. The Policy entry doesn't set SA tracking by itself, so use the operational entry for that. The SA approval and record requirements still apply.

What does SA interstate policy N120 cover?

Soil contaminated with controlled waste. The contaminant must be controlled waste or another substance on the SA interstate list.
