B.C. hazardous-waste definition routes
PCB wastes
Definition (b) is a B.C. classification route for waste that meets that paragraph after its exclusions.
ComplyOnSiteIs B.C. Definition (b) hazardous waste?
Yes, when the definition route applies after its exclusions. Definition (b) is paragraph b of the B.C. hazardous-waste definition. It is a classification route, not a numbered Schedule 7 Type.
On a regulated shipment, put the TDG shipping description or the statutory waste name in the shipping-name field of the B.C. manifest. B.C.’s exclusions and shipment rules still apply.
What does B.C. Definition (b) cover?
It covers PCB wastes. PCB liquid or solid holds more than 50 parts per million by weight of chlorobiphenyls. PCB equipment contains or is contaminated with that liquid or solid. Either one has been taken out of service for treatment, recycling, reuse, disposal or prior storage. The waste must also clear the definition's exclusions. The paragraph label alone doesn't classify an untested or undescribed load.
