    Chlorination wastewater and scrub water from making chlordane insecticide

Industry: Pesticides.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from pesticide plants. Wastewater and scrub water from chlorinating cyclopentadiene to make chlordane.

Is K033 hazardous waste?

Yes. K033 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 K033 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K033 cover?

This listing covers wastewater and scrub water from the chlorination of cyclopentadiene while producing chlordane. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is chlordane chlorination and scrub water always K033?

CodeWhen it fits
K033It is wastewater and scrub water from the chlorination of cyclopentadiene while producing chlordane.
K034It is filter solids from filtering hexachlorocyclopentadiene while producing chlordane.
K097It is vacuum stripper discharge from the chlordane chlorinator 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.
