    Caustic liquid, metals, no cyanides

Metals are present in this caustic stream; cyanides are absent.

Alkaline liquid carrying metals and free of cyanides. Cyanide in the same stream moves it to another form.

Where does Texas form code 106 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 106 and a final class character. Form 106 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 106 cover?

A caustic solution with metals and no cyanides. The composition record must show all 3 facts for the same liquid stream. A pH result doesn't show whether constituents are present or absent.

Is a caustic liquid with metals always Texas form code 106?

CodeWhen it fits
106The caustic liquid holds metals and no cyanides.
107The caustic liquid holds both metals and cyanides.
108The caustic liquid holds cyanides and no metals.
110The liquid is caustic aqueous waste. Compare its composition with the forms that name constituents.

Metals present and cyanides absent are separate findings, and caustic pH shows neither.

Which wastes take Texas form code 106?
