    Creosote wood-preserving process waste

Use F034 only when the waste stream and non-specific Schedule 12 source both match.

Wastewater, process residue & drippage from wood preserving plants that treat timber with creosote.

Is Federal F034 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal F034 lists creosote wood-preserving process waste. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.

What does Federal F034 cover?

This is wastewater, process residue, preservative drippage and spent formulation from a wood-preserving plant that uses creosote. K001 bottom sediment and wastewater that never touched process contaminants are excluded.

Official wording
Wastewaters, process residuals, preservative drippage and spent formulations from wood preserving processes generated at plants that use creosote formulations, excluding bottom sediment sludge listed in Part 2 as K001 and wastewaters that have not come into contact with process contaminants.

Is creosote wood-treatment waste Federal F034 or another code?

CodeWhen it fits
F034The stream came from creosote wood preserving and is neither uncontaminated wastewater nor K001 sediment.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
