Acid sulfate soil
Victoria N123: use for actual or potential acid sulfate soil unless the stated contaminated-soil entry takes precedence.
ComplyOnSiteIs Victoria N123 priority waste?
Yes. N123 is pre-classified priority waste, so no mirror assessment decides its Schedule 5 status.
N123 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 N123 in Waste Tracker's Schedule 5 waste-code field. The designation and household rules and tracking exceptions still apply.
What does Victoria N123 cover?
Discarded acid sulfate soil, whether actual or potential, except soil that falls under item 83 of the Table.

Is acid sulfate soil Victoria N123 or N120?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| N123 | The waste is actual or potential acid sulfate soil, and the contaminated-soil entry doesn't fit. |
| N120 | The soil fits the contaminated-soil entry that N123 excludes. |
Name the waste itself before choosing a code for something in it. A chemical in soil or another material doesn't settle which description goes on the load record.
