The disposal of industrial solid waste streams to landfills often requires characterization of the waste to differentiate hazardous from non-hazardous wastes. The USEPA has established (under RCRA) procedures for determining hazardous characteristics: The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP). Many waste companies also have instituted specific test regimens before acceptance of wastes for disposal.
NLS has many years of experience analyzing waste streams for characterization, using TCLP, SPLP, ASTM Water Leach and other procedures required by waste company analytical protocols.
We provide appropriate sample containers and shipping coolers, and can discuss proper sampling methods for your individual situation.
Standard turnaround for analytical results is 10 -15 working days. If you have a need for faster service due to disposal requirements, we can provide an expedited service.
