ComplyOnSiteWhere does Texas form code 503 go in the Texas waste code?
In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 503 and a final class character. Form 503 puts the stream in the inorganic sludges 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 503 cover?
This form covers pumpable wastewater-treatment sludge that is mostly inorganic but holds toxic organic material. The treatment source and the toxic organics must both describe the same sludge.
