    Filter cake from making the insecticide phorate

Industry: Pesticides.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from pesticide plants. Filter cake from filtering diethylphosphorodithioic acid in phorate production.

Is K039 hazardous waste?

Yes. K039 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 K039 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K039 cover?

This listing covers filter cake from filtering diethylphosphorodithioic acid while producing phorate. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is phorate production filter cake always K039?

CodeWhen it fits
K039It is filter cake from filtering diethylphosphorodithioic acid while producing phorate.
K034It is filter solids from filtering hexachlorocyclopentadiene while producing chlordane.
K038It is wastewater from the washing and stripping of phorate production.

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.
