K-listed waste
Wastewater sludge from making the insecticide toxaphene
Industry: Pesticides.
ComplyOnSiteIs K041 hazardous waste?
Yes. K041 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 K041 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.
What does K041 cover?
This listing covers wastewater treatment sludge from producing toxaphene. The waste form and the source process must both match this listing. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is toxaphene production wastewater sludge always K041?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K041 | It is wastewater treatment sludge from producing toxaphene. |
| K040 | It is wastewater treatment sludge from producing phorate. |
| K037 | It is wastewater treatment sludges from producing disulfoton. |
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 codes sit beside K041?
