    Wastewater sludge from making chrome green pigment

Industry: Inorganic pigments.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from inorganic pigment plants. Sludge left after treating wastewater from making chrome green pigment.

Is K005 hazardous waste?

Yes. K005 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.

K005 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 K005 in Item 13. Look up the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K005 cover?

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

Is chrome green pigment sludge K005, K006 or K002?

CodeWhen it fits
K005Wastewater treatment sludge from producing chrome green pigments.
K006Wastewater treatment sludge from producing chrome oxide green pigments (anhydrous and hydrated).
K002Wastewater treatment sludge from producing chrome yellow and orange 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.
