ComplyOnSiteWhere does Texas form code 209 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 209, then a class character. Form 209 describes a stream in the organic 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 209 cover?
Discarded liquid paint, ink, lacquer or varnish that is mainly organic. It covers the coating itself, not separately collected thinner. Paint or ink thick enough to pump as sludge has a different form in the organic-sludge category.
