    Wastewater sludge from making the insecticide chlordane

Industry: Pesticides.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from pesticide plants. Sludge from wastewater treatment in chlordane production.

Is K032 hazardous waste?

Yes. K032 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 K032 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K032 cover?

This listing covers wastewater treatment sludge from producing chlordane. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is chlordane production wastewater sludge always K032?

CodeWhen it fits
K032It is wastewater treatment sludge from producing chlordane.
K033It is wastewater and scrub water from the chlorination of cyclopentadiene while producing chlordane.
K034It is filter solids from filtering hexachlorocyclopentadiene while producing chlordane.

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.
