    2,4-D

Use L2 when its Method 1311 extract result is >= 10.000 mg/L.

Leachate toxic waste, where the Method 1311 extract holds 10 mg/L or more of 2,4-D. 2,4-D is a phenoxy weed killer.

Is Federal L2 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L2 lists 2,4-D. 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 L2 cover?

L2 covers 2,4-D. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 10.000 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.
