ComplyOnSiteWhere does Texas form code 297 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 297, then a class character. Form 297 describes a stream in the organic liquids category.
This form needs nonhazardous waste. Industrial waste with PCBs at 50 ppm or more is Class 1 when it is not RCRA hazardous, and the PCB form doesn't make that call.
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 297 cover?
A mainly organic, nonhazardous liquid with PCBs at 50 ppm or more but under 500 ppm. It needs both a liquid matrix and that concentration band. Solid, soil, equipment and sludge matrices have their own forms.

Is nonhazardous PCB liquid Texas form code 297 or 298?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| 297 | The nonhazardous organic liquid holds PCBs at 50 to under 500 ppm. |
| 298 | The nonhazardous organic liquid holds PCBs at 500 ppm or more. |
| 394 | The nonhazardous inorganic solid holds PCBs at 50 to under 500 ppm. |
A hazardous stream needs another best-fitting form, and a PCB level alone doesn't make a waste nonhazardous.
Which wastes take Texas form code 297?
| Waste | When it’s 297 |
|---|---|
| PCB waste | Nonhazardous organic liquid in the lower PCB band. |
| PCB-contaminated liquid | Nonhazardous organic liquid in the lower PCB band. |
