CL:AIRE Verification Report

A CL:AIRE Verification Report is a document that is used to verify that the materials used in a construction project have been managed in accordance with the CL:AIRE Definition of Waste Code of Practice. It should prove that the Materials Management Plan has been Followed. It is a requirement of the Code of Practice for all construction projects in England and Wales.

The CL:AIRE Verification Report must be prepared by a qualified person and must be submitted to the Environment Agency within 3 months of the completion of the project.

The CL:AIRE Verification Report must include the following information:

• A description of the project
• The materials that were used in the project
• The methods used to manage the materials
• The results of any testing that was carried out on the materials
• A declaration that the materials have been managed in accordance with the CL:AIRE Definition of Waste Code of Practice

The CL:AIRE Verification Report is a valuable tool that can help to ensure that construction projects are managed in a sustainable way. It can also help to protect human health and the environment.

Here are some of the benefits of using a CL:AIRE Verification Report:

• It can help to ensure that construction projects are managed in a sustainable way.
• It can help to protect human health and the environment.
• It can help to avoid fines and penalties from the Environment Agency.
• It can help to improve the reputation of the construction industry.

If you are involved in a construction project in England or Wales, you should consider using a CL:AIRE Verification Report. It is a valuable tool that can help you to manage your project in a sustainable way and protect human health and the environment.

Here are some of the things to consider when creating a CL:AIRE Verification Report:

• The type and quantity of materials used in the project
• The methods used to manage the materials
• The results of any testing that was carried out on the materials
• A declaration that the materials have been managed in accordance with the CL:AIRE Definition of Waste Code of Practice

CL:AIRE Verification Reports: Closing the Audit Trail

The CL:AIRE Verification Report is the final and essential step in the Definition of Waste Code of Practice (DoW CoP) process. It provides the documented evidence that the site has been managed in strict accordance with the previously submitted Materials Management Plan (MMP), ensuring that all soil reuse was conducted legally and sustainably.

Why is a Verification Report Required?

Without a formal verification report, the reuse of materials on-site may be viewed by regulators as illegal waste disposal. This report serves several critical functions:

• Regulatory Compliance: It demonstrates to the Environment Agency and Local Planning Authorities that materials were not "discarded" but used as a valuable resource
• Discharging Conditions: It provides the technical evidence required to discharge planning conditions related to land contamination and waste management
• Asset Protection: It ensures a clear record for future land owners and insurers that the site has been developed following best-practice soil management standards

What the Report Includes

Southwest Environmental Limited produces robust verification reports that include a comprehensive audit of site activities:

• Material Tracking: Verification of the final placement and volumes of all excavated materials compared to the original MMP
• Analytical Evidence: Lab results and chemical testing data confirming that the reused soils meet the site-specific assessment criteria (SSAC)
• Photographic Evidence: Visual records of the placement of materials and any required engineered layers.
• Qualified Person Oversight: Final confirmation that the project adhered to the high standards required by the CL:AIRE framework
