Radon Testing of Import Soil
Radon Testing of Import Soil
(OP)
The testing for Radon that I have done has been based on completed structures. I have been given a specification that calls for Radon testing of import fill, prior to delivery at the site (looking for <400 picoscuries per Liter).
I have been looking for a specification that discusses testing the soil, and found some information describing testing in a hole in the in place material, but I have two 5 gallon buckets. Are there any other specifications?

Perhaps similar to your experiences, we use clean gravel and perforated piping under the floor slabs connected to fans to eliminate the radon gas.

I was just hit with this spec and wasn't sure if I was missing something.

IF (big "if" there!) the fill was measured "in situ" in calm air before being moved, you "might" find some radon. Maybe.
