South Carolina Code of Regulations › Chapter 61 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL › Subchapter 61-79 - Hazardous Waste Management Regulations › Part 61-79.261 - IDENTIFICATION AND LISTING OF HAZARDOUS WASTE › Subpart C - CHARACTERISTICS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE › Section 61-79.261.C.24 - Toxicity characteristic

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(a)
				  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 260.11, the
				  extract from a representative sample of the waste contains any of the
				  contaminants listed in Table I at the concentration 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 section. (12/92; 12/93; 12/94)
(b) A solid waste that exhibits the
				  characteristic of toxicity has the EPA Hazardous Waste Number specified in
				  Table 1 which corresponds to the toxic contaminant causing it to be hazardous.

[FN1] Hazardous waste number.
[FN2] Chemical abstracts service number.
[FN3] Quantitation limit is greater than the
								  calculated regulatory level. The quantitation limit therefore becomes the
								  regulatory level.
[FN4] 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/1.
