Spanish term or phrase: Cava

"El procesado de los restos de cava acumulados en la campa adyacente, con objeto de la separación del hierro y su adecuación para envío a gestor, y hasta su eliminación en los plazos indicados en el punto 9.1, se efectuará como sigue:..."

"En la actualidad la empresa tiene acopiados, en la campa situada al lado del surtidor de gasoil, restos de cava en una cantidad aproximada de 30 000 t. Se deberá proceder a la gestión de estos materiales según se indica en el punto 4.4, Sistemas para el tratamiento de residuos, y en los plazos establecidos en el punto 9.1 Programa de nuevas actuaciones. Asimismo se deberá proceder a la recuperación de los terrenos ocupados, eliminando todos los residuos de cava almacenados y
restableciendo el terreno a su configuración original.

No puedo encontrar que es "la cava" en este sentido. Puede ser algo más que "waste pit"?

Gracias.

By the way, this material is almost always reused in other areas of the project, i.e., it's not usually waste material.
