(a) Determine the concentrations in the waste of any substances which equal or exceed the maximum concentrations contained in Table 1 of �261.24 of this chapter that cause a waste to exhibit the Toxicity Characteristic;

(b) For any waste listed in Part 261, Subpart D , of this chapter, determine the concentrations of any substances which caused the waste to be listed as a hazardous waste; and

(c) If food chain crops are grown, determine the concentrations in the waste of each of the following constituents: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury, unless the owner or operator has written, documented data that show that the constituent is not present.

[ Comment:Part 261 of this chapter specifies the substances for which a waste is listed as a hazardous waste. As required by �265.13 , the waste analysis plan must include analyses needed to comply with �265.281 and 265.282 . As required by �265.73 , the owner or operator must place the results from each waste analysis, or the documented information, in the operating record of the facility.]
