F006It is electroplating treatment sludge
F019It is aluminum conversion-coating sludge

How do I prove the code for electroplating wastewater treatment sludge?

Keep the process, use and stream records that show F006 or F019. A chemical analysis alone can't prove an F listing.

Is there another way to manage electroplating wastewater treatment sludge?

Check the six F006 process exclusions. Another characteristic or listing can still apply.

Before assigning a code, check the F006 exclusions and the F019 exclusions.
