D013, Lindane.
Characteristic hazardous waste
Lindane
Lindane at 0.4 mg/L or more in the TCLP extract.
ComplyOnSiteIs D013 hazardous waste?
Yes. Waste is D013 when the TCLP extract of a representative sample holds lindane at or above 0.4 mg/L. That makes it toxic hazardous waste, whatever industry or process it came from.
Compare the lindane in the TCLP extract with 0.4 mg/L. A total lindane result is a different measure, so it can't be compared with this limit.
D013 is a nonacute characteristic. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put D013 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.
What does D013 cover?
D013 applies when a representative sample gives a TCLP extract with lindane at or above 0.4 mg/L. The limit is for the extract, not the waste’s total lindane.

Is lindane waste always D013?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| D013 | The TCLP extract of a representative sample holds lindane at or above 0.4 mg/L. |
| D004–D043 | The lindane result is below 0.4 mg/L, but another contaminant or characteristic can still apply. |
| U129 | Unused lindane 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 0.4 mg/L rules out D013 only. It doesn't make the waste nonhazardous.
Which wastes take D013?
| Waste | When it’s D013 |
|---|---|
| Contaminated soil | Its lindane leaches at the TCLP limit or above. |
| Waste pesticides | Its lindane leaches at the TCLP limit or above. |
| Waste pharmaceuticals | Its lindane leaches at the TCLP limit or above. |
Which codes sit beside D013?
