    Epichlorohydrin purification high-boiling residue

Use K017 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Heavy ends (still bottoms) from the purification column in epichlorohydrin production. A federal K source code.

Is Federal K017 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K017 is the federal listing for epichlorohydrin purification high-boiling residue. 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 K017 cover?

Heavy ends (still bottoms) from the purification column when epichlorohydrin is made. The waste must match both the material and the process that made it. A similar material from another operation doesn't take K017.
