    Primary lead-smelter surface-impoundment solids

Use K065 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K-listed solids dredged from surface impoundments at primary lead smelters, the muddy settled residue from smelting ponds.

Is Federal K065 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K065 is the federal listing for primary lead-smelter surface-impoundment 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. Follow the movement rules and exclusions.

What does Federal K065 cover?

Solids held in and dredged from surface impoundments at primary lead smelting facilities. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K065.

Official wording
Surface impoundment solids contained in and dredged from surface impoundments at primary lead smelting facilities.

Is primary lead-smelter surface-impoundment solids always Federal K065?

CodeWhen it fits
K065It is primary lead-smelter surface-impoundment solids 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.
