CSC FAQWhat if I encounter contaminated soil during the tank removal? If contaminated soil is found during the tank removal process, have the soil immediately removed to an approved disposal site. Cover the the exposed area and any piles with 20-mil plastic sheeting. Do not excavate any additional soil beyond what is required to remove tank. Upon receiving a Fire Department approved Remedial Action Plan, apply for either an APCD Condition exemption (Form -07a) or a permit. Excavation projects may qualify for an exemption if they are 1,000 yd3 or less. What about project over 1,000 yd3? Contaminated soil excavation projects over 1,000 yd3 require an APCD permit.
For more information or assistance, call the APCD at (805) 961-8800 or e-mail us at engr@sbcapcd.org. Return to CSC Page |
