Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from pesticide plants. Untreated wastewater from making the herbicide 2,4-D, a common broadleaf weedkiller.

Is K099 hazardous waste?

Yes. K099 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 K099 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K099 cover?

Untreated wastewater from making 2,4-D. The waste form and the exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone is not enough.
