K-listed waste
Spent activated carbon from making arsenic-based veterinary drugs

Industry: Veterinary pharmaceuticals.

Toxic K-listed waste from veterinary drug plants. Residue from activated carbon used to remove color in arsenic-based drug production.

Is K102 hazardous waste?

Yes. K102 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.

K102 is listed by source, so how and where the waste arose decides it, not a concentration test alone. A test may add a characteristic code but doesn't remove the listing. On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K102 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K102 cover?

Spent activated carbon from decolorizing in the making of veterinary pharmaceuticals from arsenic or organo-arsenic compounds. The waste form and its exact source process must both match. Chemical content alone isn't enough.

Is arsenic veterinary-drug spent carbon K102 or another code?

Code	When it fits
K102	It is carbon used to decolorize in making arsenic-based veterinary drugs.
K101	It is distillation tar from distilling aniline-based compounds in making arsenic-based veterinary drugs.
K084	It is wastewater treatment sludge from making arsenic-based veterinary drugs.

The industry, production step and waste form tell these K listings apart. The rows show nearby listed streams, not every code that can apply. Add any characteristic or other listing that also fits, as one waste can carry more than 1 federal code.

Which wastes take K102?

Waste	When it’s K102
Arsenical veterinary pharmaceutical residues	It is carbon residue from decolorizing in that production.

Which codes sit beside K102?
