  • K-listed waste

    Wastewater sludge from chlorinated toluene or benzoyl chloride production

Industry: Organic chemicals.

Listed withK-listed waste

Toxic K-listed waste from organic chemical plants. Wastewater sludge from these products. Biological sludges are excluded.

Is K151 hazardous waste?

Yes. K151 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 K151 listing.

On a required hazardous waste manifest, put K151 in Item 13. See VSQG exemptions and empty-container rules.

What does K151 cover?

Wastewater treatment sludge from making chlorinated toluenes, benzoyl chlorides or compounds combining those groups. Neutralization and biological sludges are excluded.

Is chlorinated toluene wastewater sludge always K151?

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

Which codes sit beside K151?
