Soil Management Clause Examples
The Soil Management clause outlines the responsibilities and procedures for handling soil during a construction or development project. It typically specifies how soil is to be excavated, stored, tested, reused, or disposed of, and may require compliance with environmental regulations or site-specific requirements. For example, the clause might mandate that contaminated soil be identified and removed by licensed contractors, or that topsoil be preserved for later landscaping. The core function of this clause is to ensure that soil is managed safely and efficiently, minimizing environmental impact and regulatory risk during the project.
Soil Management. All soil management plans (including, without limitation, those for screening, testing, treating and disposing of soils) shall be performed in accordance with EPA-approved plans to the extent required by the 106 Order.
Soil Management. The Owner acknowledges and agrees to undertake analytical testing for contamination of any soil to be removed from the site during redevelopment, and if these soils are found to be not in compliance with Ministry of the Environment soil standards for the intended land use, the Owner agrees to dispose, treat or recycle these materials at a waste disposal site or landfill licensed for that purpose by the Ministry of Environment. As outlined in the Project Agreement, the costs associated with testing, removal and disposal are the responsibility of the City.
Soil Management. The procedures for management of the borrow pit and soil cut sections to assure uniform soil material shall be included in the QCP. This includes the procedures that shall be followed for the necessary adjustments in compaction because of a change in soil type.
Soil Management. Tracks, fence lines, gates and troughs should generally be sited to avoid stock-induced erosion and to avoid runoff directly into waterways. Where cultivation is required it is recommended that this be carried out in a manner to reduce soil wash into riparian areas and waterways. Winter stock management should aim to avoid soil compaction (pugging) on all land. Such management will help prevent soil erosion, nutrient loss and loss of soil structure. These soil issues often result in increased runoff rates and loss of production from the land.

Soil Management. The following restrictions apply to soils on the Property:
(1) No activities that will disturb the soil (e.g., digging, excavation, grading, removal, trenching, filling, earth movement or mining), shall be allowed within the area defined in Exhibits A3 and B3 without prior written approval from the Regional Water Board. A soils management plan shall be prepared for Regional Water Board review and concurrence before conducting any intrusive activities in the area defined in Exhibits A3 and B3.
(2) Any soils brought to the surface by digging, grading, excavation, trenching or backfilling shall be managed in accordance with all applicable provisions of state and federal law, and in accordance with the soil management plan required in 4.02(1), above.
Soil Management a. As I understand the project, the goal is to landfill the most contaminated soil to the maximum extent possible within the budget. If this is correct, a clear statement in the first paragraph of Section 6.2 (and/or other sections) seems appropriate.
Soil Management a. The Soil Stabilization section needs a sub-heading number.
b. When revising this section to incorporate the screen/stockpile/treat approach for TCLP soil, I suggest that 4000 mg/kg Pb be used as the threshold for diversion to the TCLP treatment stockpile instead of 5000. This would provide some conservatism to the handling of potential hazardous waste, while still keeping the threshold high enough that TCLP material is not overly diluted with non- hazardous soil in the stockpile.
c. Please revise the sampling scheme to include multiple pre-treatment composites of each stockpile. We discussed a minimum of 3 separate composites per stockpile, each composite made up of 5-10 different locations, resulting in unique composites. I am open to considering other sampling approaches if desired.
d. Please include both total and TCLP Pb in the analysis. In the event the stockpile does not fail TCLP, the totals may be needed to determine landfill vs. onsite consolidation. Total lead will be analyzed by XRF for all composite samples, see Section 7.2.1 for details.
e. Calculate the confidence interval for the mean of the TCLP composites and compare the upper confidence limit to the TCLP limit (5.0 mg/L). A confidence level of 90% will be acceptable. Based on some preliminary calculations with hypothetical results, there will likely be little difference between 90% and 95% intervals with a sample set of three unless the samples differ widely.
f. Post-treatment sampling to verify effectiveness of the treatment should also be done with composites, but multiple samples are not required following treatment. Stabilization of the type proposed typically reduces TCLP Pb values to very low levels, so there should be little uncertainty in the post-treatment data. Additional samples could be taken if the results are inconclusive.
Soil Management. (a) No activities that will disturb the soil (e.g., excavation, grading, removal, trenching, filling, earth movement or mining) shall be allowed on the Restricted Property described in Exhibit B without a Soil Management Plan approved by the Department.
(b) Any contaminated soils brought from the Restricted Property to the surface by grading, excavation, trenching or backfilling shall be managed in accordance with all applicable provisions of state and federal law.
(c) The Owner shall provide the Department written notice at least fourteen (14) days prior to any building, filling, grading, mining or excavating at the Restricted Property.
Soil Management. To minimise sheet, soil slip and gully erosion on moderately steep-to-steep terrain (20-30 degree slopes), stock management should aim to prevent the incidence of bare ground, especially on steeper slopes. Tracks, fence lines, gates and troughs should generally be sited to avoid stock-induced erosion or destabilisation of adjoining slopes. Tracks should be constructed and maintained to control runoff and prevent surface erosion. For flat to gently rolling terrain (up to 15 degree slopes) the above practises also apply. Where cultivation is required it is recommended that this be carried out on the contour with minimum tillage to address potential soil erosion. Winter stock management should aim to avoid soil compaction (pugging) on all land. Such management will help prevent soil erosion, nutrient loss and loss of soil structure. These soil issues often result in increased runoff rates and loss of production from the land.
