    Leachate

Liquid that drained or leached through waste or other material.

Leachate is liquid that drained through waste or other material. Its source sets the form, whatever contaminant it carries.

Where does Texas form code 116 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, then the 3-digit form 116, then a class character. Form 116 describes a stream in the inorganic liquids category.

The form doesn't give a hazard status. The stream's makeup, source and properties decide the class character after it.

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. Put any EPA waste codes beside it. The 3 form digits alone are not enough.

The generator sets the class from exclusions, federal hazardous-waste listings and characteristics, then Texas industrial-waste criteria. H means hazardous, and 1, 2 and 3 are nonhazardous industrial classes. Process knowledge or testing backs the decision. Picking a form doesn't set the class.

What does Texas form code 116 cover?

A mainly inorganic liquid formed by draining or leaching through waste or another material. Record what the liquid passed through and where it was collected. No single contaminant defines this form.

Is leachate Texas form code 116 or another liquid code?

CodeWhen it fits
116The liquid formed by draining or leaching through waste or another material.
113The aqueous liquid has high dissolved solids and no more specific form fits.
114The aqueous liquid has low dissolved solids and no more specific form fits.
119The inorganic liquid fits no named inorganic-liquid form and Comments describe it.

How the liquid formed, as leachate, is what sets this form apart. The form list gives no universal priority over liquids described by composition, so use the description that best fits the actual stream.
