PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
It is a site requirement that you agree and understand the following:
EPA Victoria "Industrial Waste" Publication 1624 May 2016 states: "It is the responsibility of the Generator (Site Occupier) to"
- Ensure the fill material is not contaminated
- Identify an appropriately approved receiving facility for the soils
- Provide evidence to the receiving facility of the soil characterisation
EPA does not regulates the use of fill material but Environment Protection Act 1970 requires the Generator to prevent adverse impacts on the receiving environmental and human health.
SITE ASSESSMENT
To comply with EPA requirements, soil may be classified as fill material, when
- An assessment will demonstrate that the material is not contaminated, or
- Contaminate levels are below those specified in IWRG621 Soil hazard categorisation and management
(“Fill Material Upper Limits” shown in table 2 of EPA 1WRG621), or
- Any elevated levels of metals (such as Arsenic) or other constituents can be demonstrated to be of Natural origin. Where it can be demonstrated that the constituents of concern are naturally elevated. EPA does not consider these soils to be ‘contaminated’ and can therefore be classified to be fill material.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY GENERATOR
