  • Ontario leachate quality criteria

    NDMA

Ontario TCLP limit: 0.0009 mg/L for NDMA.

NDMA waste. Cancer-causing nitrosamine left by rubber, rocket fuel & water treatment. Ontario TCLP limit 0.0009 mg/L.

Is Ontario E016 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the leachate limit is met. Ontario sets the leachate limit for NDMA at 0.0009 mg/L in the TCLP extract. A result at 0.0009 mg/L meets it, subject to the regulation’s exclusions. A concentration in the original bulk waste is a different measurement, so it can't be compared with this limit.

For a shipment of this waste, the generator enters 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 but doesn't replace the class-and-letter waste number. Land-disposal treatment standards are assessed separately.

What does Ontario E016 cover?

This number is a limit on NDMA in the extract from the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. The limit is 0.0009 mg/L. It covers leachate toxicity, whatever the source industry, container or physical form. Ontario sets treatment requirements for land disposal separately.

Is NDMA always Ontario E016?

CodeWhen it fits
E016The TCLP extract holds 0.0009 mg/L or more.
This constituent criterion not metThe TCLP extract is below 0.0009 mg/L.

A result below the limit clears this constituent only. Other constituents, characteristic hazards and listed-waste rules still need assessing. Test against the classification limit first, then the land-disposal treatment standard.
