    Coking-operation settling-tank tar sludge

Use K087 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K code for decanter tank tar sludge from coking operations, where coal is baked into coke.

Is Federal K087 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K087 is the federal listing for coking-operation settling-tank tar 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 K087 cover?

Decanter tank tar sludge from coke making. The waste form and its generating step must both match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K087.

Official wording
Decanter tank tar sludge from coking operations.

Is coking-operation settling-tank tar sludge always Federal K087?

CodeWhen it fits
K087It is coking-operation settling-tank tar 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.
