    Ethylene dichloride distillation high-boiling residue

Use K019 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Heavy ends from distilling ethylene dichloride during its production. A federal K source code for organic chemical plants.

Is Federal K019 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K019 is the federal listing for ethylene dichloride distillation 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 K019 cover?

Heavy ends from distilling ethylene dichloride when ethylene dichloride is made. The waste must match both the material and the process that made it. A similar material from another operation doesn't take K019.

Official wording
Heavy ends from the distillation of ethylene dichloride in ethylene dichloride production.

Is ethylene dichloride distillation high-boiling residue Federal K019?

CodeWhen it fits
K019Ethylene dichloride distillation high-boiling residue, 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.
