ComplyOnSiteWhere does Texas form code 492 go in the Texas waste code?
In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 492 and a final class character. Form 492 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 492 cover?
Dewatered sewage, or other untreated biological sludge, as a mostly organic solid that won't pump. The wording lists these as alternatives and doesn't say the sewage itself must be untreated.
