Uncontaminated soil, rock, sand, gravel, concrete, asphaltic
concrete, cinder blocks, brick; and minimal amounts of wood (but not

require authorization of the Code Official and shall be stated on
the permit. Should rock, sand, gravel, concrete, asphaltic concrete,
cinder blocks, brick, metal and inert solids be disposed of it must
be a minimum of twelve (12) inches below grade level, covered with
uncontaminated soil and shall be thoroughly compacted.
EXEMPT FROM REGULATION
"Exempt," as used in this Article, means notification to
DNR of asbestos or hazardous materials abatement is not required.
All other regulations apply.
HAZARDOUS WASTE/REGULATED WASTE
Asbestos-containing material, lead paint and objects contaminated
by lead paint are examples of the most common hazardous materials
