Trifluralin: federal lists and state cleanup levels
- CAS 1582-09-8
- 2 federal lists
- 3 states
CAS 1582-09-8 is on two of the three federal lists this handbook carries from Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 300 to 399, revised as of July 1, 2025: the CERCLA hazardous substances (40 CFR 302.4) and the toxic chemicals for release reporting (40 CFR 372.65). Each list's rows for it are below as the regulation prints them. CAS 1582-09-8 is in the cleanup-level tables of 3 states in this handbook: Florida (Trifluralin), Pennsylvania (TRIFLURALIN) and Texas (Trifluralin). Each state's numbers are below as its agency prints them. The states run different programs and do not define their values the same way, so a number from one is not the same measure as a number from another. A state that lists the substance under another CAS number, or without one, is not shown here.
Federal lists
CERCLA hazardous substances
- 40 CFR 302.4
- Revised as of July 1, 2025
Table 302.4 of 40 CFR 302.4, the list of CERCLA hazardous substances, prints a final reportable quantity of 10 pounds (4.54 kg) in its row for CAS 1582-09-8.
Table 302.4—List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities
| Hazardous substance | CASRNI | Statutory codeII | RCRA waste No. | Final RQ [pounds (kg)] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trifluralin | 1582-09-8 | 3 | 10 (4.54) |
What a listing means for a Phase I: 40 CFR 302.4(a) says the substances in Table 302.4 "are designated as hazardous substances" under CERCLA, and the federal inquiry rule looks for "conditions indicative of releases and threatened releases of hazardous substances" (40 CFR 312.20(e)).
Environmental Protection Agency
Note I to Table 302.4, in part: "If there is a discrepancy between the hazardous substance name and the listed CAS Registry Number, the hazardous substance names appearing in Table 302.4 should be used as the official means to determine if a given chemical or substance is reportable."
Notes to Table 302.4—List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities, as the regulation prints them
Note I to Table 302.4 The numbers under the column headed “CASRN” are the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Numbers for each hazardous substance. CASRNs are unique numeric identifiers for specific substances. CASRNs are updated by the Chemical Abstract Service and are sometimes deleted or replaced. This list of CERCLA hazardous substances relies on information provided in the statutory lists that comprise the table. CASRNs are provided for convenience only to aid in the identification of the designated hazardous substance. Some CASRNs are given only for parent compounds. In some cases, a chemical name may have more than one CASRN associated with it due to the chemical's various forms; however, each CAS Registry Number is a unique numeric identifier and designates only one substance. That is, two substances, or two forms of a substance, do not have the same CAS Registry Number. If there is a discrepancy between the hazardous substance name and the listed CAS Registry Number, the hazardous substance names appearing in Table 302.4 should be used as the official means to determine if a given chemical or substance is reportable.
Note II to Table 302.4 Hazardous substances are given a Statutory Code based on their statutory source. The “Statutory Code” column indicates the statutory source for designating each substance as a CERCLA hazardous substance. Statutory Code “1” indicates a Clean Water Act (CWA) Hazardous Substance [40 CFR 116.4; 33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(2)(A)]. Statutory Code “2” indicates a CWA Toxic Pollutant [40 CFR 401.15, 40 CFR part 423 Appendix A, and/or 40 CFR 131.36; 33 U.S.C. 1317(a)]. Statutory Code “3” indicates a CAA HAP [42 U.S.C. 7412(b); Pub. L. 101-549 November 15, 1990; 70 FR 75047 December 19, 2005; 69 FR 69320 November 29, 2004; 61 FR 30816 June 18, 1996; 65 FR 47342 August 2, 2000; 87 FR 393 January 5, 2022]. Statutory Code “4” indicates Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Hazardous Wastes [40 CFR part 261 Subpart D—Lists of Hazardous Wastes; 42 U.S.C. 6921]. (Note: The “RCRA waste No.” column provides the waste identification numbers assigned by RCRA regulations). Statutory Code “5” indicates a hazardous substance designated under section 102(a) of CERCLA. The “Final RQ [pounds (kg)]” column provides the reportable quantity for each hazardous substance in pounds and kilograms.
I Provides reference to Note I to Table 302.4 to discuss the applicability of CASRNs.
II Indicates the statutory source defined by 1, 2, 3, and 4, as described in the Note II to Table 302.4.
III No reporting of releases of this hazardous substance is required if the diameter of the pieces of the solid metal released is larger than 100 micrometers (0.004 inches).
IV The RQ for asbestos is limited to friable forms only.
v The Agency may adjust the statutory RQ for this hazardous substance in a future rulemaking; until then the statutory one-pound RQ applies.
## The Agency may adjust the statutory RQ for this hazardous substance in a future rulemaking; until then the statutory one-pound RQ applies.
§ The adjusted RQs for radionuclides may be found in appendix B to this table.
** Indicates that no RQ is being assigned to the generic or broad class.
a Benzene was already a CERCLA hazardous substance prior to the CAA Amendments of 1990 and received an adjusted 10-pound RQ based on potential carcinogenicity in an August 14, 1989, final rule (54 FR 33418). The CAA Amendments specify that “benzene (including benzene from gasoline)” is a hazardous air pollutant and, thus, a CERCLA hazardous substance.
b The CAA Amendments of 1990 list DDE (3547-04-4) as a CAA hazardous air pollutant. The CAS number, 3547-04-4, is for the chemical, p,p′dichlorodiphenylethane. DDE or p,p′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, CAS number 72-55-9, is already listed in Table 302.4 with a final RQ of 1 pound. The substance identified by the CAS number 3547-04-4 has been evaluated and listed as DDE to be consistent with the CAA section 112 listing, as amended.
c Includes mineral fiber emissions from facilities manufacturing or processing glass, rock, or slag fibers (or other mineral derived fibers) of average diameter 1 micrometer or less.
d Includes mono- and di-ethers of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and triethylene glycol R-(OCH2CH2)n-OR′ where:
n = 1, 2, or 3;
R = alkyl C7 or less; or
R = phenyl or alkyl substituted phenyl;
R′= H or alkyl C7 or less; or
OR′ consisting of carboxylic acid ester, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, or sulfonate.
e Includes organic compounds with more than one benzene ring, and which have a boiling point greater than or equal to 100 °C.
f See 40 CFR 302.6(b)(1) for application of the mixture rule to this hazardous waste.
Toxic chemicals for release reporting (TRI)
- 40 CFR 372.65(a)
- Revised as of July 1, 2025
40 CFR 372.65, the list of toxic chemicals subject to release reporting, lists CAS 1582-09-8 with an effective date for reporting of 1/1/87.
Table 1 to Paragraph (a): (a) Alphabetical listing.
| Chemical name | CAS No. | Effective date |
|---|---|---|
| Trifluralin | 1582-09-8 | 1/1/87 |
Notes to Table 1 to Paragraph (a): (a) Alphabetical listing., as the regulation prints them
1 The listing of 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide (CAS No. 10222-01-2) is stayed. The stay will remain in effect until further administrative action is taken.

For the federal lists the regulation governs. This page copies the Code of Federal Regulations' annual edition revised as of July 1, 2025, which is kept up to date by the Federal Register; amendments published there since that date are not shown. This page is a reference copy and not a reporting decision. Check the current regulation before relying on a value.
A list with no section on this page has no row with this CAS number. That alone does not put the substance outside the list: the lists also have entries with no CAS number (broad classes, chemical categories, waste streams), which a page filed by CAS number cannot show.
Each agency's own publication governs: its current table, or the published rule where the agency says so. This page is a reference copy and not a cleanup decision. Check each agency's page before relying on a value.
