D031, Heptachlor (and its epoxide).
Characteristic hazardous waste
Heptachlor (and its epoxide)
Heptachlor (and its epoxide) at 0.008 mg/L or more in the TCLP extract.
ComplyOnSiteIs D031 hazardous waste?
Yes. D031 is hazardous waste when the TCLP extract of a representative sample holds heptachlor (and its epoxide) at 0.008 mg/L or more. That makes it toxic hazardous waste, whatever industry or process it came from.
Compare the heptachlor (and its epoxide) in the TCLP extract with 0.008 mg/L. A total heptachlor (and its epoxide) result is a different measure, so it can't be compared with this limit.
D031 is a nonacute characteristic. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put D031 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.
What does D031 cover?
D031 applies when the TCLP extract of a representative waste sample holds heptachlor (and its epoxide) at 0.008 mg/L or more. The limit is for the extract, not the waste’s total heptachlor (and its epoxide).

Is heptachlor (and its epoxide) waste always D031?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| D031 | A representative sample’s TCLP extract contains heptachlor (and its epoxide) at or above 0.008 mg/L. |
| D004–D043 | The heptachlor (and its epoxide) result is below 0.008 mg/L. Another contaminant or characteristic may still apply. |
| P059 | Unused heptachlor (and its epoxide) 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 0.008 mg/L rules out D031 only. It doesn't make the waste nonhazardous.
Which wastes take D031?
| Waste | When it’s D031 |
|---|---|
| Contaminated soil | Heptachlor (and its epoxide) leaching from contaminated soil reaches the TCLP limit |
Which codes sit beside D031?

| D029 | 1,1-Dichloroethylene |
| D030 | 2,4-Dinitrotoluene |
