    Cresol mixture: indistinguishable isomers

Use L45 when its Method 1311 extract result is >= 200.000 mg/L.

Leachate toxic waste, where the Method 1311 extract holds 200 mg/L or more of mixed cresol isomers.

Is Federal L45 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. L45 is the federal listing for cresol mixture (indistinguishable isomers). 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 L45 cover?

L45 covers cresol mixture (indistinguishable isomers). Use it when the Method 1311 extract result is 200.000 mg/L or more. Match the material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition. The name alone isn't enough.

CodeWhen it fits

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.
