Waste holding propylene dichloride at 100 mg/kg or more by mass. It is a flammable chlorinated solvent.

Is Federal E139 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E139 is the federal listing for propylene dichloride. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

For federally regulated international shipments, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.

What does Federal E139 cover?

E139 covers propylene dichloride. Use it when propylene dichloride is present at 100.0 mg/kg or more by mass. Match the material, its source and any stated condition, because the name alone doesn't make it a listed waste.
