K-listed waste
Distillation tar from making arsenic-based veterinary drugs

Industry: Veterinary pharmaceuticals.

Toxic K-listed waste from veterinary drug plants. Tar residues from distilling aniline-based compounds in arsenic-based drug production.

Is K101 hazardous waste?

Yes. K101 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 K101 in Item 13. Check the VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules too.

What does K101 cover?

Distillation tar residues from distilling aniline-based compounds while making veterinary pharmaceuticals from arsenic or organo-arsenic compounds. The waste form and the exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone is not enough.

Is arsenic veterinary-drug distillation tar always K101?

Code	When it fits
K101	Distillation tar residues from distilling aniline-based compounds while producing veterinary pharmaceuticals from arsenic or organo-arsenic compounds.
K102	Residue from the use of activated carbon for decolorization while producing veterinary pharmaceuticals from arsenic or organo-arsenic compounds.
K084	Wastewater treatment sludges from producing veterinary pharmaceuticals from arsenic or organo-arsenic compounds.

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.

Which wastes take K101?

Waste	When it’s K101
Arsenical veterinary pharmaceutical residues	It is distillation tar residue from distilling aniline-based compounds in that production

Which codes sit beside K101?
