This material is a California hazardous waste that may be reused as permitted under the variance of DTSC provided that the lead contaminated soil is placed a minimum of 5 feet above the maximum historic water table elevation and protected from infiltration by a pavement structure which will be maintained by the Authority.

C. Type Z-2: Material that contains ADL in average concentrations (using the 95 percent Upper Confidence Limit) greater than or equal to 1,000 mg/kg total lead, greater than or equal to 5.0 mg/L soluble lead (as tested using the California Waste Extraction Test), and the material is surplus; or material that contains ADL in average concentrations greater than 150 mg/L extractable lead (based on a modified waste extraction test using deionized water as the extractant) or greater than 3,397 mg/kg total lead. This material is a Authority-generated California hazardous waste and must be transported to and disposed of at a California Class I disposal site.
