    Bottom distillation residue from chlorinated toluenes or benzoyl chlorides

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Bottoms from chlorinated toluenes, benzoyl chlorides or mixtures of both.

Is K149 hazardous waste?

Yes. K149 is a nonacute K-listed hazardous waste when the waste comes from the named process and stream. The federal table gives it hazard code (T), meaning toxicity.

Source decides a K listing, not a concentration test. A test can add a characteristic code, but it doesn't remove the K149 listing.

On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K149 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K149 cover?

Distillation bottoms from making alpha- (or methyl-) chlorinated toluenes, ring-chlorinated toluenes, benzoyl chlorides, and compounds that mix these functional groups. Benzyl chloride distillation still bottoms are not included.

Are chlorinated toluene distillation bottoms always K149?

CodeWhen it fits
K149Distillation bottoms from producing alpha- (or methyl-) chlorinated toluenes, ring-chlorinated toluenes, benzoyl chlorides, and compounds with mixtures of these functional groups.
K150Organic residuals from spent chlorine-gas and hydrochloric-acid recovery linked to production of chlorinated toluenes, benzoyl chlorides or compounds combining those groups.
K151Wastewater treatment sludge from producing chlorinated toluenes, benzoyl chlorides or compounds combining those groups.

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