ComplyOnSiteWhere does Texas form code 489 go in the Texas waste code?
In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 489 and a final class character. Form 489 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 489 cover?
A mostly organic solid with petroleum contamination that won't pump. It is solid waste, not liquid oil or oily sludge. Soil has its own form in the inorganic solids category, even when the contamination is organic.

Is petroleum-contaminated solid waste Texas form code 489?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| 489 | The petroleum-contaminated material is an organic solid that won't pump. |
| 301 | The material that won't pump is soil contaminated with petroleum or other organics. |
| 603 | The material is pumpable oily sludge. |
| 695 | The petroleum-contaminated sludge is neither oily sludge nor still bottoms. |
Assess hazardous status first. For nonhazardous industrial waste, the petroleum class depends on total petroleum hydrocarbons and other criteria. Some leaking-tank cleanup waste follows separate rules. Read the petroleum classification conditions before you choose.
