Acute hazardousF-listed waste
Waste from equipment formerly used with alkaline chlorobenzenes

F-list process waste.

Acute hazardous F-listed waste. Residues from equipment formerly used to make tetra-, penta- or hexachlorobenzenes.

Is F026 hazardous waste?

Yes. F026 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.

F026 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 F026 in Item 13. Look up the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does F026 cover?

Waste from making material on equipment that was used before with tetra-, penta- or hexachlorobenzene under alkaline conditions in manufacturing, as a reactant, chemical intermediate or part of a formulating process. It excludes wastewater and spent carbon from hydrogen chloride purification.

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

Is waste from former chlorobenzene equipment F026, F022 or F023?

Code	When it fits
F026	Material was made on equipment formerly used with tetra-, penta- or hexachlorobenzene under alkaline manufacturing conditions.
F022	Waste from manufacturing use of tetra-, penta- or hexachlorobenzene under alkaline conditions as a reactant, intermediate or component of a formulating process.
F023	Material was made on equipment formerly used to make or use tri- or tetrachlorophenol in manufacturing.

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 F026?

Waste	When it’s F026
Dioxin-listed process waste	Production used equipment previously used with tetra-, penta- or hexachlorobenzene under alkaline conditions
