HAZARDOUS WASTE CHARACTERIZATION
TCLP Data
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) established US federal laws for the disposal of wastes. RCRA requires that industrial waste streams and other wastes must be characterized following protocols laid out in SW-846. TCLP is one of these tests. TCLP data is used to determine whether a waste may be accepted into the landfill. If TCLP analytical results are below the TCLP D-list maximum contamination levels (MCLs) the waste can be accepted.
If they are above these levels the waste must be taken to a hazardous waste disposal facility. In addition to TCLP a waste considered hazardous if it exhibits any of the following characteristics: reactivity, corrosivity and ignitability (RCI).
American Testing Technologies, Inc. has the capabilities to analyze and determine if your sample is hazardous or not. TCLP and RCI determination are performed in accordance with EPA SW-846 Method 1311,1010,section 7.3.3 and section 7.3.4 .
