Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from pesticide plants. Wastewater treatment sludges from making creosote, a wood preservative oil.

Is K035 hazardous waste?

Yes. K035 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 K035 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K035 cover?

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