    Primary zinc process-water and acid-plant sludge

Use K066 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K code for sludge from treating process wastewater and acid plant blowdown at primary zinc producers.

Is Federal K066 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K066 is the federal listing for primary zinc process-water and acid-plant 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 K066 cover?

Sludge from treating process wastewater and acid plant blowdown in primary zinc production. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K066.

Official wording
Sludge from treatment of process wastewater and acid plant blowdown from primary zinc production.

Is primary zinc process-water and acid-plant sludge always Federal K066?

CodeWhen it fits
K066It is primary zinc process-water and acid-plant 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.
