This process, colloquially known as “dig and haul,” removes contaminated material (soil, solid wastes) from its current location and transports it to a permitted off-site treatment and/or disposal facility. Some pretreatment of the contaminated media is usually required to comply with land disposal restrictions. At some sites, the area to be excavated is not predetermined: as soil is removed the area surrounding it is sampled until all soil around the excavated site tests cleaner than the remedial objectives.
