    Air-pollution-control sludge

Pumpable sludge from an air-pollution-control device, including wet scrubber sludge.

Pumpable inorganic sludge from an air-pollution-control device, wet scrubber sludge included. Dewatered nonhazardous sludge can use 392.

Where does Texas form code 511 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 511 and a final class character. Form 511 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 511 cover?

This form covers mostly inorganic, pumpable sludge caught by air-pollution-control equipment. Fly ash and wet scrubber sludge are examples, and the device it came from decides.
