    Wood-preserving wastewater sediment

Creosote/pentachlorophenol wood-preserving processes.

Bottom sediment sludge from treating wastewater at wood preserving plants using creosote or pentachlorophenol. A federal K code.

Is Federal K001 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K001 is the federal listing for wood-preserving wastewater sediment. The source, make-up, concentration or test result must match the listing, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On federally regulated international shipments, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. Also apply the movement rules and exclusions.

What does Federal K001 cover?

Sediment from treating wastewater at wood-preserving plants that use creosote, pentachlorophenol or both. The waste must match both the material and the process that made it. A similar material from another operation doesn't take K001.

Official wording
Bottom sediment sludge from the treatment of wastewaters from wood preserving processes that use creosote or pentachlorophenol or both.

Is wood-preserving wastewater sediment Federal K001?

CodeWhen it fits
K001Wood-preserving wastewater sediment, from the process named in Schedule 12.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and what the tests show. A shared chemical or process word isn't enough, because the full wording and any federal exclusion still apply.
