IAFF Training for Hazardous Materials: Technician© Student Text Characteristics of Reactive Waste (D003) 40 CFR 261.23 defines a reactive hazardous waste stream as follows: • Normally unstable and readily undergoes violent changes without detonating • Can react violently with other waste(s) • Forms potentially explosive mixtures with water • Generate toxic gases, vapors, or fumes when mixed with water that are a danger to human health or the environment • Cyanide or sulfide-bearing wastes which can generate toxic gases, vapors, or fumes when exposed to pH conditions between 2 and 12.5 Examples of reactive hazardous wastes (D003) include: potassium cyanide; lithium aluminum hydride; and trimethylchlorosilane. Characteristic of Toxic Waste (D004-D043) EPA waste codes D004 through D043 have been designated to specific organic and inorganic chemicals that are toxic. The definition can be found in 40 CFR 261.24. The existence of pesticides, metals, and miscellaneous organic chemicals exceeding specified concentrations provide evidence of the characteristic toxicity. Toxicity is evaluated using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of toxicity has the EPA hazardous waste number specified in Table I which corresponds to the toxic contaminant causing it to be hazardous. 1-74 Module 1: Regulations
