Soil Disposal Guidelines/Site Development Guidelines

Soil Disposal Guidelines/Site Development Guidelines

Soil Disposal Guidelines/Site Development Guidelines

(OP)
I'm from Ontario and we have guidelines for chemical concentrations (e.g., magnesium, chloride, etc.) for decommissioning sites and for site development - as to whether the site is within some prescribed limits.  Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of these with me.

I was wondering if anyone had a copy of such and could forward me a scanned copy.  I am overseas and someone is promoting to the nth degree the use of fly ash as a panacea of every problem.  As is expected, fly ash has high concentrations of certain metals.  I want to check to see if the percentages here are within guideline levels of other jurisdictions (e.g., Ontario, elsewhere).  Any help would be appreciated - it is for personal curiosity.

email is bohica@indiatimes.com

Thanks in advance -

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for.  Sounds like you're talking about some type of brown field acceptance criteria.  All I have is a cite for the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for 'hazardous' materials concentrations.  It's 40 CFR Ch.1, subsection 261.24(listing of some 'solid' wastes).  The CFR URL is
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/index.html.
Title 40 is about the environment.  Part 261 is the identification and listing of hazardous waste.  
Hope this helps.

Grouser:  Thanks for your interest.  I tried the link and got a "no page" but that happens with my server quite a bit.  Still, your reply spurred me on.  After awhile I tried a search using on the web using "Ontario Cleanup Guidelines at Contaminated sites".  It worked and I got a site listing some downloads just what I wanted:  The site was:  www.ene.gov.on.ca/envision  ;(or /gp at the end - as I used the link in the search I didn't do a back step in the url to see what the actual site was.  If you add 3161e01.pdf you will get a long download.  I'd use link.

Best regards to all.
