K098, Untreated wastewater from making the insecticide toxaphene.
K-listed waste
Untreated wastewater from making the insecticide toxaphene
Industry: Pesticides.
ComplyOnSiteIs K098 hazardous waste?
Yes. K098 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 K098 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.
What does K098 cover?
Untreated process wastewater from making toxaphene. The waste form and the exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone is not enough.

Is untreated toxaphene wastewater always K098?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K098 | Untreated process wastewater from producing toxaphene. |
| K041 | Wastewater treatment sludge from producing toxaphene. |
| K097 | Vacuum stripper discharge from the chlordane chlorinator 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.
