Acute hazardousF-listed waste
Waste from equipment formerly used for chlorophenols

F-list process waste.

Acute hazardous F-listed waste. Residues from equipment formerly used to make tri- & tetrachlorophenols.

Is F023 hazardous waste?

Yes. F023 is an acute F-listed hazardous waste when the named source process and waste stream match. The federal table gives it hazard code H for acute hazard.

F023 is listed by source, so how and where the waste arose decides it, not a concentration test alone. A test can add a characteristic code but doesn't remove the listing once its conditions are met. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put F023 in Item 13. Look up the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does F023 cover?

Waste from making material on equipment that was used before to make tri- or tetrachlorophenol, or to use it in manufacturing as a reactant, intermediate or part of a formulating process. It excludes wastewater, spent carbon from hydrogen chloride purification, and equipment used only for hexachlorophene made from highly purified 2,4,5-trichlorophenol.

Hazard code: H for acute hazard
Rule: 40 CFR 261.31

Is waste from former chlorophenol equipment F023, F026 or F020?

Code	When it fits
F023	Material was made on equipment formerly used to make or use tri- or tetrachlorophenol in manufacturing.
F026	Material was made on equipment formerly used with tetra-, penta- or hexachlorobenzene under alkaline manufacturing conditions.
F020	Waste from making tri- or tetrachlorophenol, or using it in manufacturing as a reactant, intermediate or component of a formulating process.

The operation and waste form pick the listing, not the chemical content alone. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that could apply. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, since one waste can carry more than 1 federal code.

Which wastes take F023?

Waste	When it’s F023
Dioxin-listed process waste	Production used equipment previously used to make or manufacture with tri- or tetrachlorophenols

Which codes sit beside F023?
