Soil Reuse: State Information Resource

NEWMOA's Waste Site Cleanup and Solid Waste Programs are working together to share information on the management of excess soil for reuse. Construction, utility, brownfields, and waste site cleanup projects can generate quantities of excess soil that cannot be reused at the project site and can contain contaminants at levels that are detectable, but much below those that would qualify them as hazardous waste.

The information below was provided by each state, and may not be complete. Contact the applicable state(s) to determine if there have been recent updates or if there is additional information. See Soils Reuse Workgroup to find state contacts and their e-mail addresses.

For more information, contact Jennifer Griffith, .
