    Discarded compressed or liquefied gas

Fallback AER oilfield category; Directive 047 audit reference.

Discarded compressed or liquefied gas, such as cylinders & bottles. A fallback oilfield code.

Is Alberta WSTCGS hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. Alberta WSTCGS is the AER oilfield-waste code for discarded compressed or liquefied gas. It fits only waste from the upstream facilities, wells or pipelines on that route. The code alone doesn't make the waste dangerous oilfield waste.

Dangerous oilfield waste stays on the AER route inside Alberta. It needs an Alberta hazardous-waste manifest only if it is exported from Alberta. Record the AER code in the oilfield waste information. A regulated export also needs the federal movement assessment, and a generic industrial category can't replace the AER code.

What does Alberta WSTCGS cover?

Discarded compressed or liquefied gas. Use this fallback only if no other Directive 058 waste code fits. Directive 047 may audit its use. The code is tied to upstream oilfield origin. The actual composition and properties still decide whether the waste is dangerous and how to handle it.

When does discarded compressed or liquefied gas Alberta WSTCGS fall under Alberta WSTCGS?

CodeWhen it fits
WSTCGSThe upstream oilfield waste matches this description and no more specific Directive 058 code fits.

Origin matters. Waste from an unrelated industrial activity doesn't become oilfield waste because its material has a similar name.
