    Chromium oxide green pigment wastewater sludge

Use K006 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Wastewater treatment sludge from producing anhydrous and hydrated chromium oxide green pigments. A federal K source code.

Is Federal K006 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K006 is the federal listing for chromium oxide green 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 K006 cover?

Sludge from treating wastewater at plants making chromium oxide green pigments, anhydrous and hydrated. The waste must match both the material and the process that made it. A similar material from another operation doesn't take K006.

Official wording
Wastewater treatment sludge from the production of chromeoxide green pigments (anhydrous and hydrated).

CodeWhen it fits
