    Lead-based initiator manufacturing wastewater sludge

Use K046 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Wastewater treatment sludge from making, formulating and loading lead based initiating compounds. A federal K source code.

Is Federal K046 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K046 is the federal listing for lead-based initiator manufacturing 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 K046 cover?

Sludge removed while treating wastewater from the manufacturing, formulation and loading of lead based initiating compounds. Both the waste form and its named generating step must match. A similar material from another operation isn't K046.

Official wording
Wastewater treatment sludge from the manufacturing, formulation and loading of lead based initiating compounds.

Is lead-based initiator manufacturing wastewater sludge always Federal K046?

CodeWhen it fits
K046The waste is lead-based initiator manufacturing 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.
