    Waste from wood preserving with chlorophenol products

F-list process waste.

Toxic F-listed waste. Wastewater, process residues & drippage from wood preserving with chlorophenolic formulations.

Is F032 hazardous waste?

Yes. F032 is a nonacute F-listed hazardous waste when the named source process and waste stream match. The federal table gives it hazard code T for toxicity.

F032 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 F032 in Item 13. Look up the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does F032 cover?

Process-contact wastewater, process residues, preservative drippage and spent formulations from wood-preserving plants that use or once used chlorophenolic formulations. Uncontaminated wastewater and K001 bottom sediment sludge are outside F032. Waste that may be cross-contaminated can escape F032 after code deletion under 261.35, or when it is regulated as F034 or F035, but only if the generator does not start or resume using chlorophenolic formulations.

Is chlorophenol wood-preserving waste F032, F034 or F035?

CodeWhen it fits
F032Wood preservation generates process-contact waste at a current or former chlorophenol plant, outside the cross-contamination and K001 exceptions.
F034Creosote wood preservation generates process-contact wastewater, process residues, drippage or spent formulations, excluding K001 bottom sediment sludge.
F035Arsenic- or chromium-preservative wood treatment generates process-contact wastewater, residues, drippage or spent formulations, excluding K001 bottom sediment sludge.

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 codes sit beside F032?
