Rule Revision Information:
The Land Quality Bureau is working closely with Iowa stakeholders to revise Iowa Administrative Code (IAC) 567-Chapter 114 "Sanitary Landfills: Construction and Demolition Wastes". This Web page is dedicated to information related to that rulemaking. C&D waste is defined as "waste building materials including wood, metals and rubble which result from construction and demolition of structures." While there is much data on the characterization of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills and the leachate that they generate, C&D waste landfills have largely been ignored. This is because the waste going into them has historically been viewed as benign in comparison to MSW landfills. It was felt that since the waste was relatively stable in comparison to MSW, these landfills did not pose a threat to the environment. Even by the definition above, this waste stream seems fairly harmless. However, with the review of groundwater data and more focus on the composition of C&D waste, this belief is receiving further scrutiny. Additional Information
