  • Ontario leachate quality criteria

    Pentachlorophenol

Ontario TCLP limit: 6 mg/L for Pentachlorophenol.

Pentachlorophenol waste. Highly toxic wood preservative for utility poles & treated timber. Ontario TCLP limit 6 mg/L.

Is Ontario D037 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the leachate limit is met. Ontario sets the leachate limit for pentachlorophenol at 6 mg/L in the TCLP extract. A result exactly at the limit meets it, subject to the regulation’s exclusions. The concentration in the original bulk waste is a different measure.

For a subject-waste shipment, the generator records the 3-digit class and primary characterization in the waste-number details of the Ontario hazardous waste manifest. This number names the constituent for the assessment and doesn’t replace that class-and-letter waste number. Land-disposal treatment standards are assessed separately.

What is Ontario D037?

This number covers pentachlorophenol in the extract from the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. Its classification limit is 6 mg/L. It marks a toxic leachate, whatever the industry, container or physical form. Ontario sets treatment requirements for land disposal separately.

This constituent criterion not metThe TCLP extract is below 6 mg/L. Other hazardous criteria still need assessment.

A result below the limit for one constituent doesn’t settle other constituents, characteristic hazards or listed-waste rules. Apply the classification threshold first, then the land-disposal treatment standard.
