Hydrocarbon Contaminated Material (Contaminated Soil)
THIS MATERIAL MUST BE PRE-APPROVED BEFORE COMING TO THE LANDFILL
HYDROCARBON MATERIAL ACCEPTANCE POLICY
MARQUETTE COUNTY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY
The Marquette County Solid Waste Management Authority (MCSWMA) accepts hydrocarbon contaminated material as either non-hazardous alternate daily cover or Type III waste material. The initial screening shall be in accordance with the alternate daily cover guidelines.
ALTERNATE DAILY COVER TESTING REQUIREMENTS
- Testing and sampling will conform to EPA “Test Method for Evaluating Solid Waste” SW846 and MDEQ Daily Cover Guidelines per OPS Memo 641-10.
- The number of representative samples per waste source will be specified as per SW-846 or consist of at least four (4) discrete samples and no less than one sample per 100 cubic yards of material to be disposed of per stockpile from each site.
- Sample and test for total levels of contamination of specified materials. Results to be reported in mg/kg.
- Totals analysis will consist of ignitability, corrosivity, and the following:

- TCLP testing is required on potentially hazardous waste. If totals analysis reveals 20 times hazardous waste leachability regulatory levels, then TCLP analysis will be required on specific contaminants.
- All soils and biosolids must be tested for PFAS per EPA Method 537 Modified and the metals listed above.
- Additional site-specific testing may be required for hydrocarbon contaminated material which is suspected to contain other contaminants such as:
-
-
-
-
- Pesticides
- Chlorinated Contaminants
- PCB’s
- Any type of hazardous waste
-
-
-
-
- Check for hexavalent chromium if over background of 18 ppm.
-
- Class A daily cover includes certain manufactured materials.
-
- Class B daily cover, which includes the following waste materials, provided at least 95 percent of the material is retained on a number 200 sieve: chipped tires, wood chips, ash from combustion of coal or wood, ground shingles, and other roofing material that do not contain friable asbestos, alum sludge from the treatment of potable water at municipally owned water treatment facilities, foundry sand, dredge soils, and paper mill sludge.
-
- Class C daily cover, which includes waste materials documented to be nonhazardous, as defined in Par 111, Hazardous Waste Management, of the NREPA, and do not contain hazardous constituents in concentrations exceeding criteria established by the EGLE Director for daily cover. Class C daily cover materials include contaminated soil from leaking underground storage tanks containing petroleum products, auto fluff, materials listed in Class B, that have less than 95 percent of the material retained on a number 200 sieve, and other wastes approved by the EGLE Director. Characterization data shall be obtained every year or whenever the process used to generate the material changes.
8. Alternate Daily Cover (ADC) may be used in place of the standard six inches of earthen material
when approved by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) in
accordance with R 299.4429(2) and EGLE Policy OWMRP‑115‑10. ADC materials must control
disease vectors, fires, blowing litter, and scavenging, must not pose a threat to human health or the
environment, and must allow for the proper movement of gases and liquids.
TYPE III MATERIAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS
The following conditions will need to be satisfied prior to acceptance of the waste material as a Type III waste after it has been determined that it will not meet the alternate daily cover requirements:
- Testing and sampling will conform to EPA “Test Method for Evaluating Solid Waste” SW846 and Characteristics of Hazardous Waste 40 CFR, Chapter 1, Subpart C, Section 261.20 through 261.24.
- The number of representative samples per waste source will be specified as per SW846 or will consist of at least two (2) discrete samples and no less than one sample per 100 cubic yards of material to be disposed of per stockpile from each site.
- Sample and test for TCLP levels of contamination of specified materials. Results shall be reported in mg/l.
- Analyses will consist of ignitability, corrosivity and TCLP characteristic for the following:

MATERIAL ACCEPTANCE REQUIREMENTS
All of the following must be completed and approved before material will be accepted:
- Written permission from material source generator for use of material as daily cover, if applicable.
- Copies of all analytical data directly from the lab. ALS Global is the preferred laboratory (616-399-6070).
