    Pentachlorophenol

Leachate toxic waste with 6 mg/L or more of pentachlorophenol in the extract. Pentachlorophenol is a wood preservative.

Is Federal L84 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal L84 lists pentachlorophenol. 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 L84 cover?

Federal L84 covers pentachlorophenol. Use L84 when its Method 1311 extract result is 6.00 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 L84.
