RCRA codes for demolition debris Rubble, timber & fittings that can leach lead, mercury or cresol.

Characteristic hazardous waste
Ignitable waste
The debris exhibits ignitability
When to use D001
Characteristic hazardous waste
Lead
Lead leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
When to use D008
Characteristic hazardous waste
Mercury
Mercury leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
When to use D009
Characteristic hazardous waste
o-Cresol
o-Cresol leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
When to use D023
Characteristic hazardous waste
m-Cresol
m-Cresol leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
When to use D024
Characteristic hazardous waste
p-Cresol
p-Cresol leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
When to use D025
Characteristic hazardous waste
Cresol
Cresol leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
When to use D026

Takes D001 if ignitable, D008 for lead, D009 for mercury or D023 to D026 for cresols when they leach.

Which RCRA codes can apply to demolition debris?

Code	When it applies
D001	The debris exhibits ignitability
D008	Lead leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
D009	Mercury leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
D023	o-Cresol leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
D024	m-Cresol leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
D025	p-Cresol leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit
D026	Cresol leaching from demolition debris reaches the TCLP limit

Start with the residential lead-paint interpretation. Whole-building demolition needs a separate determination.

EPA's residential lead-paint interpretation doesn't cover whole-building demolition or nonresidential work.

Before assigning a code, check the residential exclusion.
