F-list process waste.
ComplyOnSiteIs F034 hazardous waste?
Yes. F034 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.
F034 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 F034 in Item 13. Look up the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.
What does F034 cover?
Process-contact wastewater, process residues, preservative drippage and spent formulations from wood-preserving plants that use creosote. It excludes uncontaminated wastewater and K001 bottom sediment sludge.

Is creosote wood-preserving waste F034, F032 or F035?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| F034 | Creosote wood preservation generates process-contact wastewater, process residues, drippage or spent formulations, excluding K001 bottom sediment sludge. |
| F032 | Wood preservation generates process-contact waste at a current or former chlorophenol plant, outside the cross-contamination and K001 exceptions. |
| F035 | Arsenic- 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 F034?
| Code | What it is |
|---|---|
| F024 | Process residues from making certain chlorinated hydrocarbons |
| F025 | Filters, drying agents and light residues from chlorinated hydrocarbons |
| F026 | Waste from equipment formerly used with alkaline chlorobenzenes |
| F027 | Unused chlorophenol formulations |
| F028 | Residue from heat-treating soil contaminated with listed dioxin waste |
| F037 | Primary oil, water and solids separator sludge from a refinery |
| F038 | Secondary emulsified oil, water and solids sludge from a refinery |
| F039 | Leachate from more than one restricted listed hazardous waste |
