Is Federal K003 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K003 is the federal listing for molybdate 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 K003 cover?
