Site Movements Fate Measurement Public register of potentially contaminated sites. Change of use development triggers audit system, driven by planning system requiring site history to assess contamination potential. Formal required. Site contamination auditor deems the material fit for purpose and receiving sites being fit for purpose, fit for receipt. Soil becomes waste upon leaving site. Consultant or auditor approves off-site movements in the first instance. Incoming interstate movements are notified in advance by generating jurisdiction to ensure receiving facility is suitably licensed and can accept material before SA EPA issues approval and consignment authorisation number. Quantity is validated by receiving facility. Waste transport certificates track movements from generating facility, to transporter to receiving facility, including interstate imports. High-level waste must be treated before landfilling. Receiving facility must be licensed for appropriate classification of contamination. levies apply to waste received for the purpose of disposal. Volume can be gauged during in-situ assessment, before excavation. All movements, including those internal to a landfill, tracked for volumetric survey of disposal (mass balance). Movements are tracked, raising possibility of some double counting if there is an intermediate stop for treatment. Measurement also possible at point of disposal; does not include any treated for reuse. Waste leaving SA is not tracked; responsibility of jurisdiction receiving material. Compliance work between states to balance quantities. Table 13 Tracking and approval process summary for South Australia Data Australia’s tracking system is continuous between generator, transporter and receiver and allows for quantities to be validated, suggesting reliability of the figures reported.
