Nonhalogenated organic solid not described by another form.

Nonhalogenated organic solid that no other form describes. Name the solid in Comments and rule out the halogenated forms.

Where does Texas form code 409 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 409 and a final class character. Form 409 puts the stream in the organic solids category.

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

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 alongside 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. 1, 2 and 3 are the nonhazardous industrial classes. Testing or process knowledge supports that call, and picking a form doesn't set the class.

What does Texas form code 409 cover?

A mostly organic, nonhalogenated solid that won't pump and has no more specific form. This catch-all doesn't name the material, so put what the solid is and its process source in Comments. That tells it apart from the named organic solid wastes.

Is a nonhalogenated organic solid Texas form code 409?

Code	When it fits
409	The solid is nonhalogenated and mostly organic, and no more specific form describes it.
407	The organic solid with no other form is halogenated.
489	The organic solid that won't pump is contaminated with petroleum.
404	The solid that won't pump is spent carbon.
488	The discarded material is wood debris that won't pump.

Other is not a way to skip identifying the stream. Solvent-contaminated wipes can have a conditional exclusion, and oily absorbents need the petroleum and wipe checks. A matching form doesn't remove those checks.

Which wastes take Texas form code 409?

Waste	When it’s 409
