    Cadmium

Use L7 when its Method 1311 extract result is >= 0.500 mg/L.

Leachate toxic waste, where the Method 1311 extract holds 0.5 mg/L or more of cadmium. Cadmium is a toxic metal.

Is Federal L7 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal L7 lists cadmium. 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 L7 cover?

Federal L7 covers cadmium. Use L7 when its Method 1311 extract result is 0.500 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 L7.
