    Coal-tar distillation residue

Use K148 only when the waste stream and named Schedule 12 industry process both match.

Federal K-listed residues from coal tar distillation, including still bottoms, the heavy tarry material left in the still.

Is Federal K148 hazardous waste?

Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. K148 lists coal-tar distillation 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 still apply.

What does Federal K148 cover?

Residue left by coal tar distillation, including still bottoms. The waste form and the process that made it must both match. A similar material from another operation isn't K148.

Official wording
Residues from coal tar distillation, including still bottoms.

Is coal-tar distillation residue always Federal K148?

CodeWhen it fits
K148Coal-tar distillation residue from the named Schedule 12 process.

Decide from where the material came from, how it was used, what it contains and what the tests show. Sharing a chemical or process word with the listing isn't enough. The full listed condition and any federal exclusion still decide.
