19~ F'~1 SEP 29 '99 ll:a6 F ~ ~ SOLID WASTE SECTION CLARIFICATION OF MATERIALS ACCEI?TABLE FOR D1iSPOSAL AT A CONSTI2UCTION/DEMOLI'I'ION LANDFILL May 1, 1997 This memo provides clarification of the types of materials acceptable for dispose] at a construction/demolition landfill. A construction/demolition debris landfill {GOLF) is not defined in the statutes or rules, but is generrally permitted to accept construction/demolition debris, wastes acceptable for disposal in a land clearing-inert debris landfill, and other wastes approved by the Division. Construction/demolition debris is defined in the statutes as waste or debris resulting solely from construction, remodeling, repair, or demolition operations on pavement, buildings; or other structures. Land clearing debris is defined in the rules as waste that is generated solely through land clearing activities such as stumps, trees, limbs, brush, grass, ands other naturally occurring vegetative matter. A land clearing-inert debris landfill is defined in the rules as a facility for the land disposal of land clearing waste, concrete, brick, concrete block, uncontaminated soil, gravel and rock, untreated and unpainted wood, and yard trash. Xard trash is defined as solid waste resulting from landscaping and yard maintenance such as grass, tree limbs, and similar material. A CDLF may also accept asbestos waste for disposal as long as it is managed in accordance with the Rule .0505{ 1 i){d) of the solid waste management rules. In accordance with Rule .0505(11}(b) no hazardous or liquid waste may be accepted for disposal. The Division may approve other wastes for disposal in CDLFs that are similar to wastes typically found in the land clearing-inert debris and construction/demolition waste streams. E~camples would be wastes generated by a roofing shingle manufacturer, waste building materials from a mobile home manufacturer, and wooden pallets. Also, The Division may approve wastes to be disposed in a CDLF that can be demonstrated to be "inert" through the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure{TCLP).
