Is Manitoba EHS20 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule B threshold is met. EHS20 is a Category 3 Provincial Waste Code. It applies when ammonium bicarbonate reaches the Schedule B total mass-concentration threshold of 100 mg/kg.

The 3-digit provincial waste class goes in a separate field. It describes the waste stream and doesn't replace the UN Number or Provincial Waste Code.

For regulated hazardous waste, enter EHS20 in the UN Number or Provincial Waste Code field on the Manitoba movement document. Manitoba’s registration and shipment rules apply.

What does Manitoba EHS20 cover?

This code tests waste for ammonium bicarbonate. Measure total concentration by mass and compare it with 100 mg/kg. At or above that Schedule B figure, the waste is hazardous-waste Category 3 and takes code EHS20.
