D029, 1,1-Dichloroethylene.
Characteristic hazardous waste
1,1-Dichloroethylene
1,1-Dichloroethylene at 0.7 mg/L or more in the TCLP extract.
ComplyOnSiteIs D029 hazardous waste?
Yes. D029 is hazardous waste when the TCLP extract of a representative sample holds 1,1-dichloroethylene at 0.7 mg/L or more. That makes it toxic hazardous waste, whatever industry or process it came from.
Compare the 1,1-dichloroethylene in the TCLP extract with 0.7 mg/L. A total 1,1-dichloroethylene result is a different measure, so it can't be compared with this limit.
D029 is a nonacute characteristic. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put D029 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.
What does D029 cover?
D029 applies when the TCLP extract of a representative waste sample holds 1,1-dichloroethylene at 0.7 mg/L or more. The limit is for the extract, not the waste’s total 1,1-dichloroethylene.

Is 1,1-dichloroethylene waste always D029?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| D029 | A representative sample’s TCLP extract contains 1,1-dichloroethylene at or above 0.7 mg/L. |
| D004–D043 | The 1,1-dichloroethylene result is below 0.7 mg/L. Another contaminant or characteristic may still apply. |
| U078 | Unused 1,1-dichloroethylene is discarded pure, technical grade, or as the product’s sole active ingredient. |
Generators decide the codes from testing or knowledge of the waste, under 40 CFR 262.11. A result below 0.7 mg/L rules out D029 only. It doesn't make the waste nonhazardous.
Which wastes take D029?
| Waste | When it’s D029 |
|---|---|
| Contaminated soil | 1,1-Dichloroethylene leaching from contaminated soil reaches the TCLP limit |
| Solvent-contaminated wipes | 1,1-Dichloroethylene leaching from solvent-contaminated wipes reaches the TCLP limit |
Which codes sit beside D029?
| Code | What it is |
|---|---|
| D025 | p-Cresol |
| D026 | Cresol |
| D027 | 1,4-Dichlorobenzene |
| D028 | 1,2-Dichloroethane |
| D030 | 2,4-Dinitrotoluene |
| D031 | Heptachlor (and its epoxide) |
| D032 | Hexachlorobenzene |
| D033 | Hexachlorobutadiene |
