Clean Soils
Uncontaminated soil is soil generated during construction, remodeling, repair or demolition of utilities, structures and roads that does not contain contaminants in concentrations above Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) established Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives (TACO) most conservative standards. TACO is the IEPA’s method for developing remediation objectives for contaminated soil and groundwater. These remediation objectives protect human health and take into account site conditions and land use. Remediation objectives generated by TACO are risk-based and site-specific. TACO provides flexibility to site owners and operators in developing site-specific remediation objectives.
Contaminated Soils
Soil contamination is caused by the presence of human-made chemicals or other alteration in the natural soil environment. This contamination is typically caused by industrial activity, agricultural chemicals, or improper disposal of waste. Contaminated of polluted soil directly affects human health. Health risks can result from direct contact with contaminated soil, vapors from the contaminants, and from secondary contamination of water supplies within and underlying the soil. There are many different ways soil can become polluted, such as:
- Seepage from landfills
- Discharge of industrial waste into the soil
- Percolation of contaminated water into the soil
- Rupture of underground storage tanks
- Excess application of pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizer
- Solid waste seepage
