    Leachate from mixed listed hazardous waste

Use F039 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.

Mixed listed-waste leachate is liquid that drains from landfilled waste when more than 1 listed waste was disposed of together.

Is Federal F039 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F039 lists leachate from mixed listed hazardous waste. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

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

What does Federal F039 cover?

This is liquid that has seeped through land-disposed waste where the disposal held more than 1 waste classed as hazardous by its place in Schedule 12. Leachate from a single listed waste doesn't fit.

Official wording
Leachate (liquids that percolated through land disposed waste) resulting from the disposal of more than one waste classified as a hazardous waste by being included in this Schedule.

Is landfill leachate Federal F039 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
F039The leachate seeped through land-disposed waste holding more than 1 listed Schedule 12 hazardous waste.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
