Nebraska Administrative Code › Topic - ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY › Title 128 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Chapter 3 - IDENTIFICATION AND LISTING OF HAZARDOUS WASTE › Section 128-3-010 - Toxicity characteristic

Current through June 17, 2024
010.01 A solid waste (except manufactured gas
  plant waste) exhibits the characteristic of toxicity if, using the Toxicity
  Characteristic Leaching Procedure, Test Method 1311 in "Test Methods for
  Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA Publication SW-846, as
  incorporated by reference in Chapter 1,
003
, the
  extract from a representative sample of the waste contains any of the
  contaminants listed in Table 3 of this Title which follows at concentrations
  equal to or greater than the respective value given in that Table. Where the
  waste contains less than 0.5 percent filterable solids, the waste itself, after
  filtering using the methodology outlined in Method 1311, is considered to be
  the extract for the purpose of this Chapter.
010.02 A solid waste that exhibits the
  characteristic of toxicity, has the DEQ/EPA Hazardous Waste Number specified in
  Table 3 of this Title which follows and corresponds to the toxic contaminant
  causing it to be hazardous.

1 Quantitation limit is greater than
	 calculated regulatory level. The quantitation limit therefore becomes the
	 regulatory limit.
2 If o-, m-, and p-Cresol concentrations
	 cannot be differentiated, the total Cresol (D026) concentration is used. The
	 regulatory level of total Cresol is 200 mg/L.
