Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
(a) A waste exhibits the characteristic of
corrosivity if representative samples of the waste have any of the following
properties:
(1) it is aqueous and has a pH
less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to 12.5, as determined by a pH
meter using either the EPA test method for pH or an equivalent test method
approved by the Department pursuant to section
66260.21. The EPA test method for
pH is specified as Method 9040 in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste,
Physical/Chemical Methods," SW-846, 3rd edition and updates (incorporated by
reference, see section
66260.11);
(2) it is a liquid and corrodes steel (SAE
1020) at a rate greater than 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) per year at a test
temperature of 55°C (130°F) as determined by the test method specified
in NACE Standard TM-01-69 as standardized in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid
Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," SW-846, 3rd edition and updates
(incorporated by reference, see section
66260.11) or an equivalent test
method approved by the Department pursuant to section
66260.21;
(3) it is not aqueous and, when mixed with an
equivalent weight of water, produces a solution having a pH less than or equal
to 2 or greater than or equal to 12.5, as determined by a pH meter using either
Method 9040 in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical
Methods," SW-846, 3rd edition and updates (incorporated by reference, see
section 66260.11) or an equivalent test
method approved by the Department pursuant to 66260.21;
(4) it is not a liquid and, when mixed with
an equivalent weight of water, produces a liquid that corrodes steel (SAE 1020)
at a rate greater than 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) per year at a test temperature of
55°C (130°F) as determined by the test method specified in NACE
Standard TM-01-69 as standardized in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste,
Physical/Chemical Methods," SW-846, 3rd edition and updates (incorporated by
reference, see section
66260.11) or an equivalent test
method approved by the Department pursuant to 66260.21.
(b) A waste that exhibits the characteristic
of corrosivity specified in subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section has the
EPA Hazardous Waste Number of D002.
