Informative for soil contamination testing for imported or reused soils and fills This informative provides guidance on how to test soil (for example within planting areas and beneath turf) and fills (used as sub-base beneath areas of hardstanding) imported on to or reused on the development site, to ensure they are suitable for their intended use. The guidance sole aim is to ensure soils and fills will not result in harm to people or planting. This work should be undertaken by an appropriately qualified and competent environmental professional. Further guidance can be found via the following link: https://www.rbkc.gov.uk/sites/default/files/atoms/files/CLC5%20Contaminated%20land%20planning%20guidance.pdf Materials brought on to the development site should ideally have certification demonstrating that they are clean and suitable for their intended use. All imported materials must be described and confirmed as being clean without evidence of contamination. Soil imported on to the site or reused on site shall be sampled at a rate of 1 sample per 50m3 per source of soil. Where more than 10m3 of soil is imported a minimum of 3 samples must be taken. Analyses of soil samples must be to UKAS and MCERTs standards where they are available and should include pH, soil organic matter, a standard metals/inorganic suite, organic compounds (including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aliphatic and aromatic petroleum hydrocarbon fractions, volatile and semi volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs)) and an asbestos screen. The results of analyses shall be compared to appropriate current generic screening criteria. The method detection limit for each chemical of concern analysed should be sufficiently below the appropriate generic screening criteria. Where aggregate is primary virgin quarried material or is a coarse secondary aggregate with no fine portion or evidence of contamination (including for example oil or asbestos contamination) and this can be demonstrated, no sampling or analyses of the aggregate is required. Where aggregate is potentially contaminated, sampling will be undertaken at the same rate as for soil and an appropriate range of analyses will be undertaken. For general fills and demolition sourced materials as a minimum analysis should include a standard metals/inorganic suite and an asbestos screen, with other analyses being undertaken based on factors such as the source of the material and observations. For coarse aggregate, the fines portion should be sampled. It is the responsibility of the developer to ensure that they comply with the requirements of Contaminated Land, Health & Safety, Waste Management and the Control of Asbestos Regulations. The responsibility to properly address contaminated land issues, including safe development and secure occupancy, and irrespective of any involvement by the Royal Borough, lies with the owner/developer of the site.
