Chinese term

采土用地

Chinese to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
固体废弃物作为采土用地回填或铺路使用。

I am not sure how to parse the sentence either. On the internet I often find "土用地" together. Thank you!

Please move the sentence to another field/sub-field if not appropriate.

the sentence is at http://www.greenlaw.org.cn/files/guides/CLAPV-NRDC-guide.pdf pag. 11

Hello everybody! The file I am translating is the one I provided in the link. The sentence is at page 11, paragraph 4, line 4 (solid waste). The reason I am not typing the whole sentence it's because it usually lasts for the whole paragraph itself: typing Chinese is not the fastest thing in the world for me and I'm quite running out of time. I hope you understand :)

not a full sentence. context 上下文 1 Is this an item on a list? is there a heading? a full sentence may be more helpful, if you can provide it. 2 Yes, perhaps another possible field for these questions could be 'Environmental'.

excavated land excavated land also enlightened me, however, it stress on the result of being mined of soil, damaged in other words, but not on the purpose of the land (for soil mining/pickup). Plz see also:
excavated land
挖损地
excavated land 挖损地 4622. exchange. of. land. use. r馆ht土地使用权交换 6. 5. 3 dlr.jl.gov.cn

Sorry for my expressing myself

Quarry - strictly speaking, is removal of rocks from an open pit. Removal of earth can also be applied. If you want to be more specific, then you can use soil quarry.
Peer comment(s):

agree chica nueva : how about, the solid waste is used for backfilling borrow sites or for paving roads/as road paving

Borrow site is where large quantities of earth are excavated, unfortunately, earth materials are never returned. Usually, backfilled with solid wastes. /// You're rendition is much better!
