CATEGORY 4
The residual granular material is reclaimed on the land where the material was excavated and meets the following conditions:
(1) it has an impurities content lower or equal to 1% (w/w) and 0.1% (w/w) for light materials;
(2) it has a concentration of contaminants lower or equal to the limit values prescribed in Schedule I to the Land Protection and Rehabilitation Regulation (chapter Q-2, r. 37) or in Schedule II of that Regulation for land with the following uses:
(a) land on which, under a municipal zoning by-law, industrial, commercial or institutional uses are authorized, except
i. land where totally or partially residential buildings are built;
ii. land where elementary-level or secondary-level educational institutions, childcare centres, day care centres, hospital centres, residential and long-term care centres, rehabilitation centres, child and youth protection centres, or correctional facilities are built;
(b) land constituting, or intended to constitute, the site of a roadway within the meaning of the Highway Safety Code (chapter C-24.2) or a sidewalk bordering a roadway, a bicycle path or a municipal park, except play areas for which the limit values provided for in Schedule I to the Land Protection and Rehabilitation Regulation remain applicable for a depth of at least 1 m.

A mixture of residual granular materials belongs to the most restrictive category of materials included in its composition.
