Soil Characterization for Landfill Disposal

For contaminated sites, owners must test the soil for waste characteristics prior to proper disposal. The results of the testing are submitted to a special waste landfill. ECG’s services include:

• Visiting the site to collect soil samples.
• Submitting the samples with a completed chain of custody to an accredited laboratory. The laboratory analyzes the samples for the parameters listed in 35 Illinois Administrative Code 740, Appendix A: Target Compound List, or for other parameters as specified by the landfill.
• Completing a report summarizing the field activities, including the soil sampling procedures, and a table summarizing the analytical data.
