TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure)


TCLP is one of the test methods that is utilized when characterizing waste as either hazardous or non-hazardous as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations; RCRA 40 CFR Part 261.

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.

Over time, water and liquid waste percolates through landfills. The solid waste that you are depositing can potentially react with the percolating liquid, posing environmental health risks from the contaminants it absorbs. A TCLP analysis determines which of the contaminants identified by the EPA are present in the leachate and their concentrations.

CCR Title 22 Hazardous Waste Screen Test


This test is used to help determine whether or not a sample should be classified as a hazardous waste under state of California criteria, (these criteria are codified in Chapter 30 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 66696).

In this test, the survival rate of Fathead Minnow fish when exposed to a hazardous waste is checked.

Bio-degradability Test


EPA requires that sorbents used to treat free liquids to be disposed of in landfills must be nonbiodegradable. The sorbent material is determined to be non-biodegradable under OECD test 301B: [CO Evolution (Modified Sturm Test)].
