Dirt ID — Soil Compliance and Audit Infrastructure

Every load of soil, proven from source to destination.

Dirt ID creates a tamper-evident compliance record that links permits, testing, approvals, and receiving receipts — verified from excavation to final acceptance — into one audit-ready record for every load.

Verified record per load
Proof of place

Every hand-off proves itself.

At each approved site, a load’s location, time, and identity are captured together — three independent proofs that a hand-off actually happened. No one has to trust the paperwork, and no one has to watch the truck.

Verified eventProof, not pursuit
◎
Location-anchored captureA load records its own presence the moment it reaches an approved origin or receiving site — the event proves itself, and nothing is captured in between.
⏱
Arrival intelligenceDeparture plus the approved route gives each facility a live expected-arrival window, so a load is never a surprise at the gate.
⚿
Tamper-evident by designEvery event locks its three proofs together into a record that can’t be quietly changed after the fact.

Proof, not pursuit — Dirt ID verifies the moments that matter and stays out of the miles in between. The record proves itself; no one watches the driver.

What it is

Built for compliance — not logistics.

Every load becomes a Soil Passport: a unique record carrying its origin, destination, quantity, and a tamper-evident chain of custody. One shared source of truth for owners, GCs, consultants, haulers, and the agencies that audit them.

◆
Compliance-first, not dispatch.Built to be defended in an audit, claim, or closeout — not a truck tracker, marketplace, or ticketing app.
◇
Driver-light by design.QR events and receiving validation capture accountability without field data entry.
▣
Audit-ready by default.Every approval, event, exception, and receipt lives in one material record, retained for the life of the project.

What it replaces

One record instead of the usual scramble.

Today, compliance lives in a dozen places and gets pieced back together under audit pressure. Dirt ID collapses all of it into a single verified record.

The old way
  • Paper haul tickets
  • Spreadsheets & manual diversion math
  • Email chains & text threads
  • Photos on someone’s phone
  • Missing or illegible receipts
  • Inspection-day panic

The signature object

Meet the Soil Passport™.

Each load gets one Soil Passport — a unique, QR-coded record created once and never recreated. It carries the load's identity, links every supporting document, traces it from origin to destination, and is retained for the life of the project.

Why now

California is raising the bar on soil documentation.

It is no longer enough to say material was recycled — agencies now require a verifiable, transaction-level record of what moved, from where, to where.

Statewide: CALGreen (Title 24) requires most projects to divert at least 65% of C&D debris with a Waste Management Plan and verifiable weight tickets. SB 1383 requires jurisdictions to actively enforce it. DTSC advises documenting the origin of imported soil to keep contaminated fill off clean sites. Locally, it gets stricter:

  • Projects cannot be finalized until 65% diversion is proven
  • Irvine, Placentia, Brea require a Waste Management Plan before permit
  • Refundable deposit forfeited if work starts early or tonnages don't match the plan
  • Receipts + Final Compliance Report required at closeout
SD

San Diego

City Deposit Ordinance + County C&D
  • City: refundable C&D deposit to divert debris from landfill
  • County grading must reuse 100% of excavated soils, rocks & vegetation
  • A daily log of every load leaving the site — with receipts — is required on site
  • Performance Guarantee refunded only on proven compliance

One missing ticket or one unverifiable load, and the deposit, the schedule, or the project's defensibility is on the line. Dirt ID makes every load provable.

How it works

One verified record, from source to final destination.

Dirt ID captures five evidentiary moments — each stamped with GPS, time, and user — so the chain of custody assembles itself as the work happens.

1
Approve the sourceSet approved origins, destinations, and material criteria.
2
Attach documentationTesting, geotech, environmental & approvals on the passport.
3
Create QR PassportUnique Load ID with GPS, time, and user auto-captured.
4
Validate receiptFacility confirms receipt, quantity, condition.
5
Report & retainDiversion reporting and exportable records.

Compliance you can see — and prove.

The project dashboard leads with diversion against the required target, surfaces exceptions and held loads, and reconciles quantities in real time. The daily load register produces exactly the documentation agencies like San Diego and LA County require — exportable on demand.

Sample reporting

Reports your owners, agencies, and auditors can file.

Formal, audit-referenced documents — not screenshots or raw spreadsheet dumps. Every report ties diversion to the required target, totals quantities with units, and includes the transaction-level load register.

Common questions

Answers before the first call.

Does the driver need to manage paperwork?
No — and the QR code is what makes that possible. In place of a paper ticket, every load carries a QR-coded Soil Passport. Scanning it at the approved origin or receiving facility auto-populates the event — no typing, no ticket to fill out. One scan writes the load’s unique ID, GPS location, exact timestamp, and the user straight to the permanent record. Nobody keys in coordinates, copies a ticket number, or writes down a time — the scan captures it. A field user only confirms the load and quantity; Dirt ID fills in the rest.
How are location and time captured?
Each verified hand-off records its location and timestamp at the moment it happens — proof of place at the points that matter. It’s verification, not continuous GPS tracking of the vehicle in between.
Can Dirt ID replace paper haul tickets?
Yes. The Soil Passport is the record of record — a tamper-evident digital replacement for the paper ticket, tied to receipts, approvals, and the full chain of custody.
What jurisdictions does it support?
Dirt ID is built for California first — statewide CALGreen and SB 1383, DTSC clean-fill guidance, and county ordinances in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego — and is designed to extend to any jurisdiction with soil documentation requirements.
Does it work without a signal?
Yes. Field capture works offline and syncs automatically the moment the device is back online, so a dead zone never breaks the record.
How long is data retained, and who owns it?
Records are retained for the life of the project and beyond, so a load can be defended years after closeout. The compliance record is yours.
What can we export, and can it integrate with our systems?
Every report exports as PDF or CSV, formatted for owners, agencies, and auditors. For enterprise deployments, we’re glad to scope integration with your existing systems — just ask.
