K-listed waste
Wastewater sludge from making arsenic-based veterinary drugs

Industry: Veterinary pharmaceuticals.

Toxic K-listed waste from veterinary drug plants. Sludges from treating wastewater at plants making drugs from arsenic compounds.

Is K084 hazardous waste?

Yes. K084 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 K084 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K084 cover?

Wastewater treatment sludges from making veterinary pharmaceuticals from arsenic or organo-arsenic compounds. The waste form and the exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone is not enough.

Is arsenic veterinary-drug wastewater sludge always K084?

Code	When it fits
K084	Wastewater treatment sludges from producing veterinary pharmaceuticals from arsenic or organo-arsenic compounds.
K101	Distillation tar residues from distilling aniline-based compounds while producing veterinary pharmaceuticals from arsenic or organo-arsenic compounds.
K102	Residue from the use of activated carbon for decolorization while producing veterinary pharmaceuticals from arsenic or organo-arsenic compounds.

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.
