What are underlying hazardous constituents?
“Underlying hazardous constituents” refers to any constituents “reasonably expected” to be present in the waste at the point of generation above the concentration-specific Universal Treatment Standard (except vanadium and zinc). to verify).
What are universal treatment standards?
§ 268.48 Universal treatment standards. (a) Table UTS identifies the hazardous constituents, along with the nonwastewater and wastewater treatment standard levels, that are used to regulate most prohibited hazardous wastes with numerical limits.

What is D listed waste?
EPA Hazardous Waste. EPA Characteristic Waste (D-List) Characteristic wastes exhibit the characteristics of ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity. Ignitability- having a flash point less than 140° F. Corrosivity- pH less than 2 or greater than 12.5.
What is TCLP analysis?
The term TCLP is an acronym for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. This analysis simulates conditions within a landfill and determines which of the contaminants identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are present in the leachate as well as their concentrations.
How can you tell if soil is hazardous?
The only sure way to tell if soil is contaminated is to sample the soil and have a certified laboratory test it.
