Basel List B codes
Specified solid mining waste
Use B2010 for specified solid mining waste as a Basel List B waste without an Annex III hazard.
ComplyOnSiteIs Basel B2010 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. Basel B2010 is on Basel List B, so material that matches it is normally outside the Convention's hazardous definition. That changes if Annex I constituents give it an Annex III hazardous characteristic. SOR/2021-25, including its exclusions, decides Canadian federal control.
On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste line of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.
What does Basel B2010 cover?
Covers non-dispersible mining waste made up of natural graphite, slate (roughly trimmed or merely cut), mica, leucite, nepheline or nepheline syenite, feldspar, fluorspar, or solid silica. Silica used in foundries is excluded.
