PART 302--DESIGNATION, REPORTABLE QUANTITIES, AND NOTIFICATION--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 302.5  Determination of reportable quantities.

    (a) Listed hazardous substances. The quantity listed in the column 
``Final RQ'' for each substance in table 302.4, or in appendix B to 
table 302.4, is the reportable quantity (RQ) for that substance. The RQs 
in table 302.4 are in units of pounds based on chemical toxicity, while 
the RQs in appendix B to table 302.4 are in units of curies based on 
radiation hazard. Whenever the RQs in table 302.4 and appendix B to the 
table are in conflict, the lowest RQ shall apply.
    (b) Unlisted hazardous substances. Unlisted hazardous substances 
designated by 40 CFR 302.4(b) have the reportable quantity of 100 
pounds, except for those unlisted hazardous wastes which exhibit 
toxicity identified in 40 CFR 261.24. Unlisted hazardous wastes which 
exhibit toxicity have the reportable quantities listed in Table 302.4 
for the contaminant on which the characteristic of toxicity is based. 
The reportable quantity applies to the waste itself, not merely to the 
toxic contaminant. If an unlisted hazardous waste exhibits toxicity on 
the basis of more than one contaminant, the reportable quantity for that 
waste shall be the lowest of the reportable quantities listed in Table 
302.4 for those contaminants. If an unlisted hazardous waste exhibits 
the characteristic of toxicity and one or more of the other 
characteristics referenced in 40 CFR 302.4(b), the reportable quantity 
for that waste shall be the lowest of the applicable reportable 
quantities.
