D024, m-Cresol.
Characteristic hazardous waste
m-Cresol
m-Cresol at 200 mg/L or more in the TCLP extract.
ComplyOnSiteIs D024 hazardous waste?
Yes. D024 is hazardous waste when the TCLP extract of a representative sample holds m-cresol at 200 mg/L or more. That makes it toxic hazardous waste, whatever industry or process it came from.
Compare the m-cresol in the TCLP extract with 200 mg/L. A total m-cresol result is a different measure, so it can't be compared with this limit.
D024 is a nonacute characteristic. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put D024 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.
What does D024 cover?
D024 applies when the TCLP extract of a representative waste sample holds m-cresol at 200 mg/L or more. The limit is for the extract, not the waste’s total m-cresol. If the cresol isomers can't be told apart, use total cresol D026 at 200 mg/L.

Is m-cresol waste D024 or D026?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| D024 | A representative sample’s TCLP extract contains m-cresol at or above 200 mg/L. |
| D026 | The cresol isomers cannot be differentiated and total cresol is at least 200 mg/L. |
Generators decide the codes from testing or knowledge of the waste, under 40 CFR 262.11. A result below 200 mg/L rules out D024 only. It doesn't make the waste nonhazardous. The table’s cresol footnote decides whether an isomer code or D026 records the result.
Which wastes take D024?
| Waste | When it’s D024 |
|---|---|
| Contaminated soil | m-Cresol leaching from contaminated soil reaches the TCLP limit |
| Demolition debris | m-Cresol leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit |
| Treated wood waste | m-Cresol leaching from treated wood waste reaches the TCLP limit |
| Waste pharmaceuticals | m-Cresol leaching from waste pharmaceuticals reaches the TCLP limit |
Which codes sit beside D024?
| Code | What it is |
|---|---|
| D019 | Carbon tetrachloride |
| D020 | Chlordane |
| D021 | Chlorobenzene |
| D022 | Chloroform |
| D023 | o-Cresol |
| D025 | p-Cresol |
| D027 | 1,4-Dichlorobenzene |
| D028 | 1,2-Dichloroethane |
