E010, Dichloromethane (methylene chloride).
Ontario leachate quality criteria
Dichloromethane (methylene chloride)
Ontario TCLP limit: 5 mg/L for Dichloromethane (methylene chloride).
ComplyOnSiteIs Ontario E010 hazardous waste?
Yes, when the leachate limit is met. Ontario sets the leachate limit for dichloromethane (methylene chloride) at 5 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 E010?
This number covers dichloromethane (methylene chloride) in the extract from the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. Its classification limit is 5 mg/L. It marks a toxic leachate, whatever the industry, container or physical form. Ontario sets treatment requirements for land disposal separately.

Is dichloromethane (methylene chloride) waste Ontario E010?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| E010 | The TCLP extract reaches or exceeds the limit of 5 mg/L. |
| This constituent criterion not met | The TCLP extract is below 5 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.
