    Vacuum-stripper discharge from making the insecticide chlordane

Industry: Pesticides.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from pesticide plants. Vacuum stripper discharge from the chlorinator in chlordane production.

Is K097 hazardous waste?

Yes. K097 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 K097 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K097 cover?

Vacuum stripper discharge from the chlordane chlorinator in chlordane production. The waste form and the exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone is not enough.

Is chlordane vacuum-stripper discharge always K097?

CodeWhen it fits
K097Vacuum stripper discharge from the chlordane chlorinator while producing chlordane.
K034Filter solids from filtering hexachlorocyclopentadiene while producing chlordane.
K033Wastewater and scrub water from the chlorination of cyclopentadiene while producing chlordane.

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.
