Per guidelines set by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) (Public Act 96-1416, effective July 30, 2010) construction and disposal practices at jobsites and at CCDD sites have been changed as of July 30, 2010.

As stated by the IEPA: “Clean Construction and Demolition Debris (CCDD) is uncontaminated broken concrete without protruding metal bars, bricks, rock, stone, or reclaimed asphalt pavement generated from construction or demolition activities. When uncontaminated soil is mixed with any of these materials, the uncontaminated soil is also considered CCDD. Uncontaminated soil that is not mixed with other CCDD materials is not CCDD.”

Under this contract, material to be removed from the jobsite shall be disposed of at the contractor’s expense following all applicable local, state and federal requirements as well as any requirements set forth by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois State Pollution Control Board.

Such additional incidental costs may specifically include but are not limited to trucking and hauling, off-site material handling, over-weight permits, tipping fees, regulatory fees and surcharges, any applicable taxes, and any disposal costs including those for hazardous and non-hazardous special waste. No special pay item for Non-Special Waste Removal, Special Waste Removal, or Hazardous Waste Removal has been included in this contract, but the requirements for removal of such materials must still be in accordance with Articles 202 and 669 of the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge

Construction.

Contractor shall make every effort to re-use all excavated material on site for trench backfill, parkway restoration, or any other uses within the scope of the contract plans and specifications. Re-use of material for any reason shall be approved by the owner prior to placement of material at the jobsite.
