    Coking ammonia-distillation lime sludge

Type 79 excludes the same residue from a source other than coking operations.

Lime sludge from ammonia stills used in coking operations. Coke is baked coal for steelmaking. Other sources are not included.

Is B.C. Type 79 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 79 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 79 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 79 cover?

Type 79 covers coking ammonia-distillation lime sludge. It excludes the same residue from any source other than coking operations. 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.
