Federal leachate code for cyanide. Waste whose Method 1311 extract holds 20.000 mg/L or more is included.

Is Federal L11 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L11 lists cyanide. 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 still apply.

What does Federal L11 cover?

L11 covers cyanide. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 20.000 mg/L or more. The material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition must also match. The name alone isn't enough.
