Is Federal K047 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K047 is the federal listing for TNT production pink and red wastewater. 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 K047 cover?

Pink and red water generated while producing TNT. Both the waste form and its named generating step must match. A similar material from another operation isn't K047.
