ComplyOnSiteWhere does Federal reason Q11 go on the federal notification?
In the waste classification details. Federal reason Q11 is a field value that describes a waste or recyclable line on the federal notification. It records the reason for disposal or recycling, and doesn't decide whether the material is hazardous.
For federally regulated international shipments, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.
What does Federal reason Q11 cover?
Q11 records residues from raw material processing (e.g., mining residues, oil field slop) as the reason for disposal or recycling. Pick it from the activity, reason, physical state or intended operation reported for that waste line, not from the waste name alone.
