K-listed waste
Column residue from making trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Column bottoms & heavy ends from making trichloroethylene & perchloroethylene.

Is K030 hazardous waste?

Yes. K030 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 K030 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K030 cover?

This listing covers column bottoms or heavy ends from the combined production of trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is trichloroethylene production column residue always K030?

Code	When it fits
K030	It is column bottoms or heavy ends from the combined production of trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene.
K018	It is heavy ends from the fractionation column in ethyl chloride production.
K017	It 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 wastes take K030?
