Is Federal L16 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L16 lists heptachlor + Heptachlor epoxide. 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.

L16 covers heptachlor + Heptachlor epoxide. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 0.30 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.
