ComplyOnSiteIs Federal L17 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L17 lists lead. 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 L17 cover?
L17 covers lead. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 5.00 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.
