Restricted cyanide liquid

Liquid cyanide is 1,000 mg/L or more, so this restricted entry takes priority.

Restricted hazardous waste for liquids with cyanide at 1,000 mg/L or more. A result of exactly 1,000 mg/L is included.

Is California code 711 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Code 711 is a restricted waste code, so it wins over any non-restricted code that also fits. Choose it after the hazardous waste determination. It doesn't prove the waste is hazardous or decide its federal RCRA status.

If a shipment needs the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, enter 711 in Item 13 for its waste line. Use one California code, plus the federal RCRA codes when the waste is federally hazardous.

RCRA waste meets a federal listing or characteristic and has no federal exclusion. Non-RCRA waste is hazardous under California rules only. California presumes hazardous waste is RCRA unless the generator shows it isn't, so keep that record.

What does California code 711 cover?

This restricted entry is hazardous liquid with a representative total cyanide result of 1,000 mg/L or more. A lower result doesn't meet the restricted threshold, but another California or federal hazardous waste code can still fit.

Threshold: 1,000 mg/L or more in liquid
Official wording: 22 CCR division 4.5, chapter 11, Appendix XII(b)

Is cyanide liquid California code 711 or 131?

Code	When it fits
711	Representative total cyanide is at least 1,000 mg/L in the liquid.
131	Cyanide is present below 1,000 mg/L and the aqueous liquid has pH above 2 and below 12.5.

The current Appendix XII threshold is inclusive. DTSC's 2017 guidance uses a strict greater-than sign, so its boundary differs. If more than one restricted code fits, confirm the single California code for the waste line. The rules give no general tie-breaker.

Which wastes take California code 711?

Waste	When it’s 711
Cyanide solution	Total cyanide in the liquid is 1,000 mg/L or more
Liquid with high cyanide levels	Total cyanide in the liquid is 1,000 mg/L or more
