  • K-listed waste

    Heavy distillation residue from making 1,1,1-trichloroethane

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Heavy ends from the heavy ends column in 1,1,1-trichloroethane production.

Is K096 hazardous waste?

Yes. K096 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 K096 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K096 cover?

Heavy ends from the heavy ends column in 1,1,1-trichloroethane production. The waste form and the exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone is not enough.

Is trichloroethane distillation heavy ends waste always K096?

CodeWhen it fits
K096Heavy ends from the heavy ends column from producing 1,1,1-trichloroethane.
K030Column bottoms or heavy ends from the combined production of trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene.
K020Heavy ends from distilling vinyl chloride in vinyl chloride monomer production.

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.
