D035, Methyl ethyl ketone.
Characteristic hazardous waste
Methyl ethyl ketone
Methyl ethyl ketone at 200 mg/L or more in the TCLP extract.
Is D035 hazardous waste?
Yes. D035 is hazardous waste when the TCLP extract of a representative sample holds methyl ethyl ketone at 200 mg/L or more. That makes it toxic hazardous waste, whatever industry or process it came from.
Compare the methyl ethyl ketone in the TCLP extract with 200 mg/L. A total methyl ethyl ketone result is a different measure, so it can't be compared with this limit.
D035 is a nonacute characteristic. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put D035 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.
What does D035 cover?
D035 applies when the TCLP extract of a representative waste sample holds methyl ethyl ketone at 200 mg/L or more. The limit is for the extract, not the waste’s total methyl ethyl ketone.

Is methyl ethyl ketone waste always D035?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| D035 | A representative sample’s TCLP extract contains methyl ethyl ketone at or above 200 mg/L. |
| D004–D043 | The methyl ethyl ketone result is below 200 mg/L. Another contaminant or characteristic may still apply. |
| U159 | Unused methyl ethyl ketone 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 200 mg/L rules out D035 only. It doesn't make the waste nonhazardous.
Which wastes take D035?
| Waste | When it’s D035 |
|---|---|
| Contaminated soil | Methyl ethyl ketone leaching from contaminated soil reaches the TCLP limit |
| Solvent-contaminated wipes | Methyl ethyl ketone leaching from solvent-contaminated wipes reaches the TCLP limit |
Which codes sit beside D035?
| Code | What it is |
|---|---|
| D031 | Heptachlor (and its epoxide) |
| D032 | Hexachlorobenzene |
| D033 | Hexachlorobutadiene |
| D034 | Hexachloroethane |
| D036 | Nitrobenzene |
| D037 | Pentachlorophenol |
| D038 | Pyridine |
| D039 | Tetrachloroethylene |
