Liquid or sludge phenolic waste
Use A3070 for liquid or sludge phenolic waste as a presumptively hazardous Basel waste.
Is Basel A3070 hazardous waste?
Normally yes. A3070 is on Basel List A, so the material is presumed hazardous unless the evidence shows it has no Annex III hazardous characteristic. The exact description and any stated exclusions still have to match.
For international shipments under the federal rules, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.
What does Basel A3070 cover?
Covers discarded phenol or phenolic compounds, including chlorophenols, when they are present as liquid or sludge.
