Excavated material and fill
Victoria N122: use for excavated or engineered fill only where the neighbouring contaminated-soil entries do not apply.
ComplyOnSiteIs Victoria N122 priority waste?
No, under Schedule 5. N122 is ordinary industrial waste. It is pre-classified, so no mirror assessment decides its Schedule 5 status.
N122 is not reportable for transactions or transport, so Schedule 5 doesn't require a Waste Tracker record for this entry. Give a lawful receiver the classification and an accurate description. Dangerous goods duties can still apply separately.
Where a transaction is reportable, enter N122 in Waste Tracker's Schedule 5 waste-code field. The designation and household rules and tracking exceptions still apply.
What does Victoria N122 cover?
Excavated material and engineered fill belong here unless they fit Victoria’s N120 contaminated-soil entry or N220 asbestos-waste entry. This code takes what is left over. It doesn't declare the material clean fill.

Is excavated fill Victoria N122, N120 or N220?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| N122 | The load is excavated material or engineered fill, and neither N120 nor N220 fits. |
| N120 | Soil contains asbestos or exceeds Victoria’s upper contaminant limits for fill. |
| N220 | The load is asbestos waste, not excavated material assessed as fill. |
Check the soil assessment and fill limits before choosing N122. Planning to reuse contaminated material doesn't make it fill.
