    Biological treatment, not otherwise set out in this Schedule

Use D8 when the intended operation is biological treatment, not otherwise set out in this Schedule.

Where does Federal disposal D8 go on the federal notification?

In the waste classification details. Federal disposal D8 is a field value describing a waste or recyclable line on the federal notification. It records the disposal operation and doesn't decide whether the material is hazardous.

For a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Read the movement rules and exclusions.

What does Federal disposal D8 cover?

For this value the disposal operation is biological treatment, not otherwise set out in this Schedule. Pick it from the activity, reason, physical state or operation reported for that waste line, not from the waste name.
