K-listed waste
Acid solution used to leach secondary lead-smelting dust
Industry: Secondary lead.
ComplyOnSiteIs K100 hazardous waste?
Yes. K100 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 K100 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.
What does K100 cover?
Waste leaching solution from acid leaching of emission control dust or sludge from secondary lead smelting. The waste form and the exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone is not enough.

Is secondary lead dust-leaching solution always K100?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| K100 | Waste leaching solution from acid leaching of emission control dust/sludge from secondary lead smelting. |
| K069 | Emission-control dust or sludge from secondary lead smelting, except secondary acid-scrubber sludge under the administrative stay. |
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.
