    Coking-operation ammonia-distillation lime sludge

Use K060 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Ammonia still lime sludge from coking operations, left by ammonia distillation at coke ovens. A federal K source code.

Is Federal K060 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K060 is the federal listing for coking-operation ammonia-distillation lime 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 K060 cover?

Lime sludge from the ammonia still, made during coke making. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K060.

Official wording
Ammonia still lime sludge from coking operations.

Is coking-operation ammonia-distillation lime sludge always Federal K060?

CodeWhen it fits
K060It is coking-operation ammonia-distillation lime sludge from the named Schedule 12 process.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what is in it and the test results. A shared chemical or process word doesn't make 2 codes interchangeable. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
