Ontario TCLP limit: 40 mg/L for Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA).
ComplyOnSiteIs Ontario E119 hazardous waste?
Yes, when the leachate limit is met. This Ontario class is hazardous when the TCLP extract holds nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) at 40 mg/L or more. A result exactly at the limit counts, subject to the regulation’s exclusions. A concentration in the original bulk waste is a different measure.
For a shipment of this waste, the generator records the 3-digit class and primary characterization in the waste-number details of the Ontario hazardous waste manifest. The hazardous-waste number names the constituent for the assessment. It doesn't replace the class-and-letter waste number. Land-disposal treatment standards are assessed separately.
What does Ontario E119 cover?
This class covers nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) in the extract from the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), with a limit of 40 mg/L. It describes a leachate-toxic constituent, not an industry, container or physical form. Ontario sets treatment requirements for land disposal separately.

Is nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) always Ontario E119?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| E119 | The TCLP extract holds 40 mg/L or more of the constituent. |
| This constituent criterion not met | The TCLP extract holds less than 40 mg/L. Other hazardous criteria still need assessing. |
A result below the limit for one constituent says nothing about other constituents, characteristic hazards or listed-waste rules. Apply the classification limit first, then look at the separate land-disposal treatment standard.
