Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from inorganic pigment plants. Wastewater treatment sludge from chrome yellow & orange pigments.

Is K002 hazardous waste?

Yes. K002 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the named source process and waste stream match. The federal table gives it hazard code T for toxicity.

K002 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 K002 in Item 13. Look up the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K002 cover?

Wastewater treatment sludge from making chrome yellow and orange pigments. The waste form and its source process must both match the K-list wording.

Is chrome yellow or orange pigment sludge K002, K003 or K004?

CodeWhen it fits
K002Wastewater treatment sludge from producing chrome yellow and orange pigments.
K003Wastewater treatment sludge from producing molybdate orange pigments.
K004Wastewater treatment sludge from producing zinc yellow pigments.

The industry, production step and waste form pick the K 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.
