# Council Decision of 19 December 2002 establishing criteria and procedures for the acceptance of waste at landfills pursuant to Article 16 of and Annex II to Directive 1999/31/EC (2003/33/EC), Division 2.4.1: Leaching limit values

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The following leaching limit values apply for granular waste acceptable at landfills for hazardous waste, calculated at L/S = 2 and 10 l/kg for total release and directly expressed in mg/l for C0 (in the first eluate of percolation test at L/S = 0,1 l/kg). Granular wastes include all wastes that are not monolithic. The appropriate authority shall determine which of the test methods and corresponding limit values in the table should be used.
Components
L/S = 2 l/kg
L/S = 10 l/kg
C0 (percolation test)
mg/kg dry substance
mg/kg dry substance
mg/l
*If the waste does not meet these values for DOC at its own pH, it may alternatively be tested at L/S = 10 l/kg and a pH of 7,5-8,0. The waste may be considered as complying with the acceptance criteria for DOC, if the result of this determination does not exceed 1 000 mg/kg. (A draft method based on prEN 14429 is available.)
**The values for TDS can be used alternatively to the values for sulphate and chloride.

The appropriate authority shall set criteria for monolithic waste to provide the same level of environmental protection given by the above limit values.
