Type 85, Primary-zinc wastewater/acid-plant sludge.

  • B.C. Schedule 7 wastes

    Primary-zinc wastewater/acid-plant sludge

Type 85 excludes the same residue from a source other than treatment of process wastewater or acid plant blowdown from primary zinc production.

Sludge from treating process wastewater or acid plant blowdown at primary zinc producers. Other sources are not included.

Is B.C. Type 85 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 85 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 85 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 85 cover?

Type 85 covers primary-zinc wastewater/acid-plant sludge. It excludes the same residue from any source other than treatment of process wastewater or acid plant blowdown from primary zinc 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.

Type 85The waste matches the full Schedule 7 description and no exclusion in the definition removes it.
