ComplyOnSiteIs Federal K048 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K048 is the federal listing for refinery dissolved-air flotation skimmings. 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 K048 cover?
Dissolved air flotation (DAF) float from the petroleum refining industry. Both the waste form and its named generating step must match. A similar material from another operation isn't K048.
