K-listed waste
Heavy distillation residue from making ethylene dichloride

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Heavy ends from distilling ethylene dichloride during its production.

Is K019 hazardous waste?

Yes. K019 is nonacute hazardous waste when your waste comes from the named process and stream. The federal table gives it hazard code (T), for toxicity.

A K listing follows how and where the waste arose, not a concentration test. A test may add a characteristic code, but it doesn't remove this listing.

On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K019 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K019 cover?

This listing covers heavy ends from distilling ethylene dichloride in ethylene dichloride production. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is ethylene dichloride distillation heavy ends always K019?

Code	When it fits
K019	It is heavy ends from distilling ethylene dichloride in ethylene dichloride production.
K020	It is heavy ends from distilling vinyl chloride in vinyl chloride monomer production.
K016	It is heavy ends or distillation residues from producing carbon tetrachloride.

The industry, production step and waste form tell these K listings apart, not chemical content. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that could apply. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, because a waste can carry several federal codes.

Which wastes take K019?
