Transporting Beneficial Use Determination (BUD) MaterialsNew Predetermined BUD Forms are now available. If you are transporting or using any material under one of the predetermined BUDs, you can now carry a form to show that you are using the material pursuant to DEC's regulation. The completed form can be provided to contractors, transporters, or local and state officials when needed to document the reuse of material. Use of these forms are optional. Learn more about Beneficial Use Determinations.
