IL SB2285

Amends the Environmental Protection Act to establish that urban soil and urban clean construction or demolition debris used at clean fill operations are not considered waste when meeting specified requirements.

Defines "urban soil" as soil excavated from sites within municipalities with populations exceeding 1 million that has not been subject to a contaminant release but may contain background levels due to natural causes, urban dust, vehicle emissions, or the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

Requires site owners to perform Phase I Environmental Audits, Phase II audits if contamination is indicated, and soil testing using EPA Method 1312 (Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure) before transferring urban soil to fill operations.

Mandates owners provide written certification to fill operators documenting that soil does not exceed TACO Class I groundwater concentrations and was not removed from contaminated sites or as part of environmental cleanup activities.

Requires clean construction or demolition debris fill operations to develop and implement Receipt Control and Screening Plans to verify receipt of certification documents from soil sources.
