    Trichloroethylene

Use L95 when its Method 1311 extract result is >= 5.00 mg/L.

Leachate toxic waste with 5 mg/L or more of trichloroethylene in the extract. It is a chlorinated degreasing solvent.

Is Federal L95 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal L95 lists trichloroethylene. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the statutory exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

For international shipments under federal rules, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.

What does Federal L95 cover?

Federal L95 covers trichloroethylene. Use L95 when the Method 1311 extract result is >= 5.00 mg/L. The material, source and any stated composition, concentration, test or use condition must match, because the name alone doesn't make the listing.
