    Selenium

Use L27 when its Method 1311 extract result is >= 1.00 mg/L.

Leachate toxic waste, where the Method 1311 extract holds 1 mg/L or more of selenium. Selenium is a trace element.

Is Federal L27 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L27 is the federal listing for selenium. The recorded source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still hold.

For federally regulated international shipments, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions go with it.

What waste does Federal L27 cover?

L27 covers selenium. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 1.00 mg/L or more. Match the material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition. The name alone isn't enough.

Pick the code from the material's real origin, use, composition and test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still rule.
