  • Ontario S-series severely toxic wastes

    TCDDs (All Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins)

Ontario Schedule 3 severely toxic contaminant: 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

Toxic tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins (TCDDs), here 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, from combustion & chemicals.

Is Ontario S002 hazardous waste?

Yes, above the severely toxic concentration limit. In Ontario, waste with a Schedule 3 severely toxic contaminant above 1 ppm is severely toxic waste. S002 covers tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins (TCDDs), CAS 1746-01-6. Exactly 1 ppm falls outside the test, but other hazardous definitions can still apply.

For shipments of this waste, the generator uses the class-and-letter waste number in the waste details of the Ontario hazardous waste manifest. The hazardous-waste number goes in the land-disposal assessment and notification where one is needed. Keep them together and don't swap one identifier for the other.

What does Ontario S002 cover?

S002 covers tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins (TCDDs) under Ontario’s severely toxic waste rules, CAS 1746-01-6. The limit is above 1 ppm in the waste itself, not a concentration in TCLP leachate. The hazardous-waste number is also used in the land-disposal framework.

Is waste containing tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins (TCDDs) Ontario S002?

CodeWhen it fits
S002The waste holds the Schedule 3 severely toxic contaminant at more than 1 ppm.
Severely toxic concentration test not metThe contaminant is at or below 1 ppm. Other hazardous-waste definitions may still apply.

Record the chemical and how it was measured with the result. This whole-waste limit is separate from the leachate-toxicity limits and from any land-disposal treatment requirement.
