    Refinery oil-water separator sludge

Type 77 excludes the same residue from a source other than the petroleum refining industry.

Sludge from API separators, which split oil from water at petroleum refineries. Other industries are not included.

Is B.C. Type 77 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 77 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 77 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 77 cover?

Type 77 covers refinery oil-water separator sludge. It excludes the same residue from any source other than the petroleum refining industry. 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.
