Best practice involves removing the spoil away from the excavation site by mechanical earth moving equipment, or the creation of barrow run fed spoil heaps. In the barrow run method, a ramp is built using spoil transported in barrows along the barrow runs.
To ensure proper excavation practices, waste should be removed by machinery or piled into designated areas called "barrow runs."  The barrow run method utilizes waste hauled on barrows along designated routes to construct a ramp.
