    Glyphosate

Use L72 when its Method 1311 extract result is >= 28.00 mg/L.

Leachate toxic waste with 28 mg/L or more of glyphosate in the extract. Glyphosate is a common broad-spectrum weed killer.

Is Federal L72 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal L72 lists glyphosate. 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 L72 cover?

Federal L72 covers glyphosate. Use L72 when its Method 1311 extract result is 28.00 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 L72.
