    Tar-tank residue from refining coal tar

Industry: Coking.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from coking plants. Residue from tar storage tanks at coal tar refineries, left after the tar is drawn off.

Is K147 hazardous waste?

Yes. K147 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the source process and waste stream match. Its federal hazard code is (T), for toxicity.

K147 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 K147 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K147 cover?

Residue from tar storage tanks in coal tar refining. The 261.4(a)(10) exclusion needs the residue recycled to coke ovens or tar recovery, or mixed with coal tar, with no land disposal before recycling.
