    Boron

Use L6 when its Method 1311 extract result is >= 500.000 mg/L.

Leachate toxic waste, where the Method 1311 extract holds 500 mg/L or more of boron. Boron is an element from glass & detergents.

Is Federal L6 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal L6 lists boron. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the statutory exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the classification in the waste line of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.

What does Federal L6 cover?

Federal L6 covers boron. Use L6 when its Method 1311 extract result is 500.000 mg/L or more. Match the material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition, because the name alone doesn't make it L6.
