K-listed waste
Lime sludge from a coke-plant ammonia still

Industry: Coking.

Toxic K-listed waste from coking operations. Lime sludge from the ammonia still, which treats the liquor from coke ovens.

Is K060 hazardous waste?

Yes. K060 is nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the waste comes from the named process and matches the named stream. The federal table gives it hazard code (T), toxicity.

A K listing depends on where and how the waste was made, not on a test result alone. A test may add a characteristic code, but it doesn't remove the listing.

On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K060 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K060 cover?

Lime sludge from the ammonia still at a coking operation. The 261.4(a)(10) exclusion applies only if the sludge is recycled to coke ovens or tar recovery, or mixed with coal tar, and is not land disposed before recycling.

Is lime sludge from a coke-plant ammonia still always K060?

Code	When it fits
K060	Ammonia still lime sludge from coking operations.
K087	Decanter tank tar sludge from coking operations.
K145	Residues from naphthalene collection and recovery operations from the recovery of coke by-products produced from coal.

The industry, production step and waste form tell these K listings apart, not the chemicals in the waste. The rows above are only the nearby listed streams, so also add any characteristic or other listing that fits. One waste can carry more than one federal code.
