Description: CCPs (pesticides) must be discarded or intended for discard to be P- or U-listed hazardous waste. Materials are "discarded" when abandoned, applied to the land, or used to produce a fuel. Products containing small amounts of other chemicals as manufacturing impurities still have a sole ingredient. There is no percentage cutoff for active ingredient. An active ingredient performs the function of a product. Fillers, carriers, and propellants are not active ingredients. Chlordane product (U036) that contains small amount of heptachlor (P059 if CCP) has only one active ingredient (chlordane) because heptachlor is a manufacturing impurity. Technical grade means all commercial grades of chemical. There is no exact criteria define technical grade. Product purity varies from compound to compound.
