    Nonhazardous dewatered wastewater sludge

Nonhazardous wastewater-treatment sludge after dewatering.

Wastewater-treatment sludge that has been dewatered and is nonhazardous. Pumpable sludge needs a sludge form.

Where does Texas form code 391 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 391, then a class character. Form 391 describes the stream in the inorganic solids category. The waste must be shown to be nonhazardous before this form fits. The industrial Class 1, 2 or 3 is decided separately. The class character depends on what the stream is made of, where it came from and its properties.

For a hazardous or Class 1 shipment that needs a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, enter the full Texas code in Item 13, across 2 blocks on paper. Add any EPA waste codes. The 3 form digits alone are not enough.

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

What does Texas form code 391 cover?

Nonhazardous sludge from wastewater treatment that has been dewatered into a nonpumpable solid. Dewatering changes the physical form, but it doesn't make the sludge nonhazardous. That must be shown separately.

Is dewatered wastewater sludge Texas form code 391 or 503?

CodeWhen it fits
391Nonhazardous wastewater-treatment sludge dewatered into a nonpumpable solid.
503Mainly inorganic wastewater-treatment sludge that is still pumpable and holds toxic organic compounds.
504Pumpable inorganic wastewater-treatment sludge that fits the other-wastewater-sludge entry, not the toxic-organics one.

Keep the wastewater-treatment source, the dewatering record, evidence of the solid form and the nonhazardous determination.
