What are the labeling requirements for contaminated environmental media?
The Department recommends that the container or stockpile be labeled: “contaminated soil [groundwater], awaiting analytical results, initial accumulation date: xx/xx/xx [add date when collection/excavation initiated].” If it is determined that the media must be managed as hazardous waste, you must mark the container or stockpile with the words “hazardous waste” and a description of the contents.
