    DDT

Use L12 when its Method 1311 extract result is >= 3.000 mg/L.

Federal leachate code for DDT, a banned insecticide. Waste whose Method 1311 extract holds 3.000 mg/L or more is included.

Is Federal L12 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L12 lists DDT. 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 L12 cover?

L12 covers DDT. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 3.000 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.
