    Methyl parathion

Leachate toxic waste with 0.7 mg/L or more of methyl parathion in the extract. Methyl parathion is an organophosphate insecticide.

Is Federal L21 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L21 lists methyl parathion. 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 L21 cover?

L21 covers methyl parathion. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 0.70 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.
