Step 2F:

Rule 0400-12-01-.02(3)(e) Toxicity Characteristic [40 CFR 261.24]

1. 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, (see 40 CFR 260.11; Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(b)1) the
extract from a representative sample of the waste contains any of the
contaminants listed in Table 1 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
subparagraph.

2. A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of toxicity has the Hazardous Waste
Code specified in Table 1 which corresponds to the toxic contaminant causing it
to be hazardous. 

FOOTNOTE: ¹ Hazardous waste number.
FOOTNOTE: ² Chemical abstracts service number.
FOOTNOTE: ³ Quantitation limit is greater than the calculated regulatory level. The quantitation limit
therefore becomes the regulatory level.
FOOTNOTE: ⁴ 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.
