  • Acid Sulfate Soils Information

    Acid sulfate soils (ASS) are naturally occurring soils and sediments containing iron sulfides, most commonly pyrite. When ASS are exposed to air the iron sulfides in the soil react with oxygen and water to produce a variety of iron compounds and sulfuric acid. Initially a chemical reaction, the process is accelerated by soil bacteria. The resulting acid can release other substances, including heavy metals, from the soil and into the surrounding environment.

  • Landfill Waste Classification and Waste Definitions 1996 (As Amended)

Similarly, Department of Environment licence conditions may apply more stringent acceptance criteria as appropriate.
