The proper disposal of contaminated soil

The Dry Creek Landfill is approved by the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to accept certain petroleum contaminated soils. The landfill can also accept contaminated soil from construction and demolition operations. Under certain circumstances, we can accept soil contaminated with asbestos for disposal. If there is contaminated soil with asbestos, we will determine if it can be accepted, and if so, whether it needs to be taken to the asbestos monofil or lined cell areas within the landfill. Please click here for more asbestos information. Please note that we cannot accept any hazardous or PCB-regulated materials. Materials with low-level PCB contamination may be acceptable. Call our Main Office at 541.779.4161 for more information.

Rules and regulations related to contaminated soil

Dry Creek Landfill can accept contaminated soil after it is approved and accepted for disposal. Generators must provide appropriate documentation describing the source and nature of the contamination. To determine if we can accept your material, please complete the application and submit for approval here. Once all the required documentation is submitted (including laboratory tests) we will evaluate your material and let you know if we can accept it for disposal. During this process, additional laboratory testing may be needed.
