The P-LIST contains discarded acute

The P-LIST contains discarded acutely hazardous commercial chemical products and is
located in 40 CFR 261.33(e). Acutely hazardous waste are defined by the EPA to be wastes
that are severely dangerous in small amounts that they are regulated the same as other
hazardous wastes of larger amounts. This list contains wastes from discarded chemical
products, off-specification material, containers and spill residues. The P-List includes chemicals
found in herbicides, pesticides and other poisonous products. Acute discarded wastes from
commercial chemical products are assigned a three digit number preceded by a “P”. For
example, the waste characteristic code for a discarded container of arsenic acid is P010. Even
when the acid was spilled and cleaned up using an absorbent, the spill debris number will remain
the same as the acid.
