Excess Soil Management
We provide excess soil management services across Ontario to support construction and redevelopment projects, ensuring compliance with Ontario Regulation 406/19 and applicable excess soil requirements.
What is a Excess Soil Management?
Excess Soil Management is the process of assessing, classifying, managing, and tracking soil generated during construction and excavation activities to ensure it is handled and reused in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
The process includes reviewing site conditions and historical records, conducting soil sampling and analytical testing, evaluating soil quality, and determining appropriate reuse or disposal options. Depending on the project, excess soil may require a Soil Characterization Report, Excess Soil Destination Assessment Report, and other supporting documentation.
Excess soil management services are completed in accordance with Ontario Regulation 406/19 (On-Site and Excess Soil Management) and associated guidance documents. These requirements help ensure that excess soil is appropriately characterized, transported, and reused at suitable receiving sites while supporting regulatory compliance and responsible soil management.
When is Excess Soil Management Required?
Excess soil management may be required in Ontario when soil is excavated as part of construction, redevelopment, or infrastructure projects and is intended to be removed from the project area.
Excess soil management services are commonly required for:
Commercial, industrial, and residential redevelopment projects
Building construction and foundation excavations
Underground utility installations and servicing
Roadway, sewer, and infrastructure improvements
Excavation and removal of soil from construction sites
Projects involving the reuse of excess soil at off-site receiving locations
Under Ontario Regulation 406/19, certain projects that generate, transport, or receive excess soil are subject to specific assessment, documentation, tracking, and record-keeping requirements. The applicability of these requirements depends on the project type, soil quality, volume of excess soil, and intended reuse or disposal location.
