Clean Construction and Demolition Debris (CCDD) Review and Permitting

Various Clients

OBJECTIVE

Clean Construction and Demolition Debris (CCDD) management is crucial for environmental protection, resource conservation, waste reduction, economic benefits, and regulatory compliance. It prevents hazardous materials from contaminating ecosystems, conserves natural resources by recycling materials, reduces waste going to landfills, and ensures adherence to regulations governing waste disposal.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. (HLR) has assisted in the review and permitting of CCDD disposal since August of 2012, when the Illinois Pollution Control Board defined CCDD and USFO in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 1100. Our approach is generalized by the following two tasks:

Task 1: Environmental Background Research and LPC-662 Application

The initial step will include an environmental database search for all records pertaining to contamination within the project limits. The information generated from the database search will be utilized to provide the client with a map delineating potentially impacted properties (PIPs). Areas not adjacent to PIPs should be eligible for processing with an LPC-662 application. The spoils generated from these sites will only require pH testing, which HLR will provide with a mobile testing device. HLR will coordinate with local CCDD facilities for LPC-662 pre-approval. In the unlikely event that any PIPs are found on or adjacent to the site, the client will be notified of the options available for material disposal prior to commencing Task 2. If any areas are adjacent to PIPs, the site will require Task 2 for additional testing and analysis, to process with an LPC-663 application.

Task 2: Soil Sampling and LPC-663 Application

Task 2 will not be initiated until authorized by the client unless it was clearly stated in the scope of services that an LPC-663 was warranted. Task 2 includes taking two soil samples for characterization. These samples will be used to establish pre-existing conditions and for potential CCDD coordination. The soil samples will be submitted to an approved laboratory for analysis (Test America, PDC Labs, or STAT Analysis). We may analyze each soil sample for metals, volatiles, semi-volatiles, pesticides, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and PCBs. The results of the analysis will be compared to the limits outlined in the Maximum Allowable Concentrations (MAC) of Chemical Constituents in Uncontaminated Soil Used as Fill Material at Regulated Fill Operations (35 Ill. Adm. Code 1100.Subpart F). An LPC-663 will be prepared if levels meet MAC table limits.

If the soils come back with any elevated levels, additional TCLP or SPLP analysis on those specific constituents may be required to determine if they are within the MAC table limits. This testing would be used to create a waste profile if it were necessary to take it to a landfill.
