Is Federal K002 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K002 is the federal listing for chrome yellow or orange pigment wastewater sludge. 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 K002 cover?

Sludge from treating wastewater at plants making chrome yellow and orange pigments. The waste must match both the material and the process that made it. A similar material from another operation doesn't take K002.
