    Used acid containing metals

Spent acid in a freely flowing inorganic liquid.

Freely flowing spent acid with dissolved metals in it, in the inorganic liquids group. The same acid without metals takes form 104.

Where does Texas form code 103 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 103 and a final class character. Form 103 sits in the inorganic liquids category.

The form says nothing about hazard. The stream's makeup, source and properties decide the class character.

For a hazardous or Class 1 shipment on a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, enter the full Texas code in Item 13, across 2 blocks on paper. Add the EPA waste codes beside it. The 3 form digits alone are incomplete.

The generator sets the class from exclusions, then federal hazardous-waste listings and characteristics, then Texas industrial-waste criteria. H means hazardous. 1, 2 and 3 are the nonhazardous industrial classes. Process knowledge or testing supports the decision.

What does Texas form code 103 cover?

Spent acid as a freely flowing liquid that contains metals. Process knowledge or analysis must show both that the acid is spent and that the same stream holds metals.
