    Phorate production wastewater sludge

Use K040 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Wastewater treatment sludge from producing phorate, an insecticide. A federal K source code for pesticide plants.

Is Federal K040 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K040 is the federal listing for phorate production wastewater sludge. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.

What does Federal K040 cover?

Sludge removed while treating wastewater generated while producing phorate. Both the waste form and its named generating step must match. A similar material from another operation isn't K040.

Official wording
Wastewater treatment sludge from the production of phorate.

Is phorate production wastewater sludge always Federal K040?

CodeWhen it fits
K040The waste is phorate production wastewater sludge from the named Schedule 12 process.

Decide between these entries from the material's real origin, use, composition and test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make the codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still govern.
