Characteristic hazardous waste
Endrin

Endrin at 0.02 mg/L or more in the TCLP extract.

Toxic characteristic waste. Waste with endrin at 0.02 mg/L or more in the TCLP test. Endrin is an old insecticide.

Is D012 hazardous waste?

Yes. Waste is D012 when the TCLP extract of a representative sample holds endrin at or above 0.02 mg/L. That makes it toxic hazardous waste, whatever industry or process it came from.

Compare the endrin in the TCLP extract with 0.02 mg/L. A total endrin result is a different measure, so it can't be compared with this limit.

D012 is a nonacute characteristic. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put D012 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does D012 cover?

D012 applies when a representative sample gives a TCLP extract with endrin at or above 0.02 mg/L. The limit is for the extract, not the waste’s total endrin.

CAS: 72-20-8
Regulatory level: 0.02 mg/L in TCLP extract
Hazard: T, toxic
Rule: 40 CFR 261.24

Is endrin waste always D012?

Code	When it fits
D012	The TCLP extract of a representative sample holds endrin at or above 0.02 mg/L.
D004–D043	The endrin result is below 0.02 mg/L, but another contaminant or characteristic can still apply.
P051	Unused endrin is thrown away pure, as technical grade, or as the product’s only active ingredient.

Generators decide the codes from testing or knowledge of the waste, under 40 CFR 262.11. A result below 0.02 mg/L rules out D012 only. It doesn't make the waste nonhazardous.

Which wastes take D012?

Waste	When it’s D012
Contaminated soil	Its endrin leaches at the TCLP limit or above.
Waste pesticides	Its endrin leaches at the TCLP limit or above.
