K-listed waste
Bottom distillation residue from making 1,1,1-trichloroethane
Industry: Organic chemicals.
ComplyOnSiteIs K095 hazardous waste?
Yes. K095 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 K095 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.
What does K095 cover?
Distillation bottoms from making 1,1,1-trichloroethane. The waste form and the exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone is not enough.

Is trichloroethane distillation bottoms waste always K095?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K095 | Distillation bottoms from producing 1,1,1-trichloroethane. |
| K096 | Heavy ends from the heavy ends column from producing 1,1,1-trichloroethane. |
| K094 | Distillation bottoms from producing phthalic anhydride from ortho-xylene. |
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.
