    Mercury-cell chlorine brine-treatment mud

Type 90 applies only when this condition holds: separately prepurified brine is not used.

Brine purification mud from mercury cell chlorine plants that do not use separately pre-purified brine. Contains mercury.

Is B.C. Type 90 hazardous waste?

Yes, when the Schedule 7 description and definition conditions are met. Type 90 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 90 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 90 cover?

Type 90 covers mercury-cell chlorine brine-treatment mud. Type 90 applies only when separately prepurified brine is not used. 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.
