Notes:
On March 29, 1990, EPA promulgated the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) greatly expanding the amount of waste considered hazardous. The rule became effective six months later on September 25, 1990. Under the TC, wastes are evaluated using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) to determine if the waste is hazardous. Regulatory levels were established for an additional 25 organic compounds expanding the TC constituents list to 39 substances. The regulatory level for vinyl chloride was set at 0.2 mg/1, a sufficiently high level to assure that most PVC wastes will not be hazardous because of VCM.
