Type 72, Lead-based explosive-initiator wastewater sludge.

  • B.C. Schedule 7 wastes

    Lead-based explosive-initiator wastewater sludge

Type 72 excludes the same residue from a source other than the manufacturing, formulation, and loading of lead-based initiating compounds.

Sludge from treating wastewater at plants that make, mix & load lead-based initiators for explosives.

Is B.C. Type 72 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 72 is a Schedule 7 shipping name for a listed B.C. hazardous waste. The waste must match the entry's description and stay inside the hazardous-waste definition once exclusions are applied.

On a regulated listed-waste shipment, Type 72 is the shipping name on the B.C. hazardous waste manifest. B.C.’s exclusions and shipment rules still apply.

What does B.C. Type 72 cover?

Type 72 covers lead-based explosive-initiator wastewater sludge. It excludes the same residue from any source other than the manufacturing, formulation, and loading of lead-based initiating compounds. It is a B.C. shipping name for a listed waste, not a TDG class, and not a catch-all for similar material from another process.

Type 72The waste matches the full Schedule 7 description and no exclusion in the definition removes it.

Classifying the waste and filling in the paperwork are separate steps. First work out which definition route and exclusions apply. Then apply the section 46 quantity and transport conditions, and add the TDG description whenever TDG governs the load.
