  • Ontario leachate quality criteria

    Metribuzin

Ontario TCLP limit: 8 mg/L for Metribuzin.

Ontario leachate limit of 8 mg/L for metribuzin, a herbicide used on potatoes, tomatoes & soybeans.

Is Ontario E117 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the leachate limit is met. Ontario sets the leachate limit for metribuzin at 8 mg/L in the TCLP extract. A result at 8 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 E117 cover?

This number is a limit on metribuzin in the extract from the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. The limit is 8 mg/L. It covers leachate toxicity, whatever the source industry, container or physical form. Ontario sets treatment requirements for land disposal separately.
