    Coal-coke light-oil refining sump residue

Use K144 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K code for wastewater sump residues from light oil refining, including contamination sump sludge at coke plants.

Is Federal K144 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal K144 is the listing for coal-coke light-oil refining sump residue. The source, composition, concentration or test condition on record must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On a federally regulated international shipment, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions apply.

What does Federal K144 cover?

Wastewater sump residue from refining light oil, including intercepting or contamination sump sludge, when recovering coke by-products from coal. Both the waste form and the step that made it must match, so a similar material from another operation isn't K144.
