(5) It is a cyanide or sulfide bearing waste which, if exposed to pH conditions between 2 and 12.5, can generate toxic gases, vapors or fumes in a quantity sufficient to present a danger to human health or the environment. (6) It is capable of detonation or explosive reaction if it is subjected to a strong initiating source or if heated under confinement. (7) It is readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or reaction at standard temperature and pressure. (8) It is a forbidden explosive as defined in 49 CFR 173.5 1, or a Class A explosive as defined in 49 CFR 173.53 or a Class B explosive as defined in 49 CFR 173.88. (b) A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of reactivity has the EPA Hazardous Waste Number of D003. (45 FR 33119, May 19, 1980, as amended at 55 FR 22684, June 1, 1990) Section 261.24 -- Toxicity characteristic. (a) A solid waste exhibits the characteristic of toxicity if, using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure, test Method 1311 in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical /Chemical Methods," EPA Publication SW -846, as incorporated by reference in Section 260.11 of this chapter, the extract from a representative sample of the waste contains any of the contaminants listed in Table 1 (shown on next page) at the concentration equal to or greater than the respective value given in that table. Where the waste contains less than 0.5 percent filterable solids, the waste itself, after filtering using the methodology outlined in Method 1311, is considered to be the extract for the purpose of this section. (b) A solid waste that exhibits the characteristic of toxicity has the EPA Hazardous Waste Number specified in Table 1 (shown on next page) which corresponds to the toxic contaminant causing it to be hazardous.
