Is Federal L36 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L36 is the federal listing for benzene. 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 L36 cover?

L36 covers benzene. Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 0.500 mg/L or more. Match the material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition. The name alone isn't enough.
