K-listed waste
Steam-stripper waste from making 1,1,1-trichloroethane

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Product steam stripper waste from 1,1,1-trichloroethane production.

Is K029 hazardous waste?

Yes. K029 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 K029 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K029 cover?

This listing covers waste from the product steam stripper while producing 1,1,1-trichloroethane. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is trichloroethane steam-stripper waste always K029?

Code	When it fits
K029	It is waste from the product steam stripper while producing 1,1,1-trichloroethane.
K028	It is spent catalyst from the hydrochlorinator reactor while producing 1,1,1-trichloroethane.
K011	It is bottom stream from the wastewater stripper while producing acrylonitrile.

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 K029?
