    Organic sandblasting waste

Non-pumpable sandblasting waste that is mainly organic.

Non-pumpable organic sandblasting waste. Mainly inorganic blasting waste takes nonhazardous form 389.

Where does Texas form code 490 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 490 and a final class character. Form 490 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 490 cover?

This form covers spent blasting material and removed residue when the waste that results is mostly organic and won't pump. Unused abrasive says nothing about the waste after blasting.
