Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Stripping still tails from making methyl ethyl pyridines.

Is K026 hazardous waste?

Yes. K026 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 K026 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K026 cover?

This listing covers stripping still tails from producing methy ethyl pyridines. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is methyl ethyl pyridine stripping residue always K026?

CodeWhen it fits
K026It is stripping still tails from producing methy ethyl pyridines.
K018It is heavy ends from the fractionation column in ethyl chloride production.
K017It is heavy ends (still bottoms) from the purification column while producing epichlorohydrin.

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 codes sit beside K026?
