D030, 2,4-Dinitrotoluene.

  • Characteristic hazardous waste

    2,4-Dinitrotoluene

2,4-Dinitrotoluene at 0.13 mg/L or more in the TCLP extract.

Listed withCharacteristic hazardous wasteTCLP hazardous waste codes

Toxic characteristic waste. Waste with 2,4-dinitrotoluene at 0.13 mg/L or more in the TCLP test. It is used in explosives & dyes.

Is D030 hazardous waste?

Yes. D030 is hazardous waste when the TCLP extract of a representative sample holds 2,4-dinitrotoluene at 0.13 mg/L or more. That makes it toxic hazardous waste, whatever industry or process it came from.

Compare the 2,4-dinitrotoluene in the TCLP extract with 0.13 mg/L. A total 2,4-dinitrotoluene result is a different measure, so it can't be compared with this limit.

D030 is a nonacute characteristic. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put D030 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does D030 cover?

D030 applies when the TCLP extract of a representative waste sample holds 2,4-dinitrotoluene at 0.13 mg/L or more. The limit is for the extract, not the waste’s total 2,4-dinitrotoluene. Under Table 1 footnote 3, the quantitation limit becomes the regulatory level when it is higher than the calculated level.

Is 2,4-dinitrotoluene waste always D030?

CodeWhen it fits
D030A representative sample’s TCLP extract contains 2,4-dinitrotoluene at or above 0.13 mg/L.
D004–D043The 2,4-dinitrotoluene result is below 0.13 mg/L. Another contaminant or characteristic may still apply.
U105Unused 2,4-dinitrotoluene 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 0.13 mg/L rules out D030 only. It doesn't make the waste nonhazardous. Table 1 footnote 3 notes the quantitation-limit qualification for this entry.
