Use K051 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.
ComplyOnSiteIs Federal K051 hazardous waste?
Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K051 is the federal listing for refinery American Petroleum Institute separator 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. Follow the movement rules and exclusions.
What does Federal K051 cover?
American Petroleum Institute (API) separator sludge from petroleum refining. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K051.
