Is Federal K049 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K049 is the federal listing for refinery oily emulsion solids. 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 K049 cover?

Slop oil emulsion solids from the petroleum refining industry. Both the waste form and its named generating step must match. A similar material from another operation isn't K049.
