Ten Tips to Expedite Your Shipment to a Beneficial Use Site

DID YOU KNOW?
Clean Earth recycles or beneficially reuses approximately 98% of the material we process.

At Clean Earth we understand the various moving parts of a construction project and the importance of keeping those systems operating smoothly.  Every project starts from the ground up and that is where we come in.  Here are some helpful tips to expedite your soil shipments to beneficial use sites.

  1. Each site has its own unique site specific Material Acceptance Protocol.  All sampling requirements are available by request.
  2. Obtain sampling requirements prior to testing.
  3. Encore sampling is required for VOC sampling at all Clean Earth beneficial use sites.
  4. Provide historical site investigations, Phase II reports, geotechnical data, soil boring test results.
  5. Provide a geotechnical sample (if required).  Two (2) five-gallon (5 gal.) buckets are required for submission.  The samples need to be as representative of the project material as possible.
  6. The installation of test pits is often the most effective means of collecting the geotechnical samples.
  7. Submit completed applications.  Please contact Clean Earth with any questions regarding your application, we can provide assistance.
  8. Some beneficial use sites require a site visit from the engineer prior to approval, be sure to discuss this with the Clean Earth team.
  9. All manifests must include sample/grid numbers, approval number and trucking tag numbers.
  10. Contact a Clean Earth Approvals Manager if you have any questions, or uncertainty on the sampling requirements.  We are here to help and provide guidance.

We provide the most beneficial use options within the Northeast Corridor, so it is important that we provide our customers with the information, processes and tools to get the job done fast and get it done right, the first time.
