Section 128-3-010 - Toxicity characteristic

010.01 A solid waste (except manufactured gas plant waste) exhibits the characteristic of toxicity if, using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure, Test Method 1311 in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in Chapter 1, 003, the extract from a representative sample of the waste contains any of the contaminants listed in Table 3 of this Title which follows at concentrations equal to or greater than the respective value given in that Table. Where the waste contains less than 0.5 percent filterable solids, the waste itself, after filtering using the methodology outlined in Method 1311, is considered to be the extract for the purpose of this Chapter.

010.02 A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of toxicity, has the DEQ/EPA Hazardous Waste Number specified in Table 3 of this Title which follows and corresponds to the toxic contaminant causing it to be hazardous.

¹ Quantitation limit is greater than calculated regulatory level. The quantitation limit therefore becomes the regulatory limit.

² If o-, m-, and p-Cresol concentrations cannot be differentiated, the total Cresol (D026) concentration is used. The regulatory level of total Cresol is 200 mg/L.
