When uncontaminated soil is mixed with any of these materials, the uncontaminated soil is also considered CCDD.

Clean Construction or Demolition Debris
Soil generated during construction, remodeling, repair or demolition of utilities, structures and roads that does not contain contaminants in concentrations that pose a threat to human health and safety and the environment

So now I know what
CCDD is -
What’s the big deal?
Clean Construction or Demolition Debris
In the past, CCDD was dumped at unregulated sites and

there was concern for
contamination of
groundwater and other
health hazards

Eventually regulations were imposed, but some did not think they went far enough
And several other unsubstantiated factors seem to have come into play

The end result was the Illinois Legislature passingPublic Act 96-1416 effective July 30, 2010

Let’s look at what this means for CCDD and those who handle it. . .
Clean Construction or Demolition Debris
First, dump sites got a new name!
They are now either
Uncontaminated soil fill operationsformally defined as
a current or former quarry, mine, or other excavation where uncontaminated soil is
used as fill material but does not include a CCDD fill operation
or

Next, all owners and operators of CCDD fill operations are now required
to pay fees based on the volume of CCDD or uncontaminated soils
accepted for fill

Finally, the owner of any soil taken to a CCDD fill
operation must certify it is uncontaminated
But how do we know if it’s
contaminated & how do we
provide certification?

First we need to figure out if the soil is near a

property on which a historical or current use, or contaminant
migration from a proximate (nearby or adjoining) site, increases the
presence or potential presence of contamination.

If you are near a PIP, you must test!
If you are near a PIP, and testing shows soil is NOT contaminated, certification is provided by filling out form LPC-663 and having a
PE/PG sign it!
Clean Construction or Demolition Debris
If you are near a PIP, and testing shows soil IS contaminated, you must dispose of the material in a
landfill
Clean Construction or Demolition Debris
If you are NOT near a PIP, you can fill out form LPC-662 and have
the owner sign
You must still test the material for pH and attach documentation affirming that the property is not a PIP

Painted CCDD cannot be used at a CCDD fill operation without certification from a PE or PG that the material meets 35 Ill. Adm. Code Section 1100.212
So, if the paints meets IDOT specifications, fill out LPC-667 and dispose of in a CCDD fill operation – if not, take to a landfill

So what does this all mean to me?
Before digging, determine if you are near a PIP (consult map)
If placing dirt back into the excavation, nothing else must be done
If removing dirt to be dumped, place dirt at East Side Storage into PIP and non-PIP piles – arrange for testing
Clean Construction or Demolition Debris
For non-PIP piles and passing pH, get form LPC-662 and take to CCDD fill operation
For PIP pile and passing pH and testing, get form LPC-663 and take to CCDD fill operation
For piles determined to be contaminated by testing, take to landfill
Clean Construction or Demolition Debris
If material appears to be contaminated, place in a pile away from the PIP and non-PIP piles
Place dirt back into excavation if possible
Fill out CCDD form for each excavation
Remember Form LPC-667 for painted CCDD
