There is a site intended to be use for allotments. Some of the soils have some PAH contamination (persistent PAH) and it was initially proposed to excavate the impacted soils and import new materials.
To reduce costs it has been proposed to excavate the impacted soils and to place them in an area within the site to be covered by a concrete slab. There is no groundwater beneath the site.
Will this procedure be covered by the Definition of Waste: Development Industry Code of Practice for re-use of soils on-site, considering they will not come into contact with future land users or controlled waters OR will this be considered as landfilling?
Your opinion is much appreciated
