Type 83, Primary-copper acid-plant blowdown residue.

  • B.C. Schedule 7 wastes

    Primary-copper acid-plant blowdown residue

Type 83 excludes the same residue from a source other than the thickening of blowdown slurry from primary copper production.

Blowdown slurry, or the sludge from thickening it, from the acid plant at a primary copper smelter.

Is B.C. Type 83 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 83 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 83 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 83 cover?

Type 83 covers primary-copper acid-plant blowdown residue. It excludes the same residue from any source other than the thickening of blowdown slurry from primary copper production. 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.
