    Lagoon sediment, organics

Pumpable sediment or lagoon dragout contaminated with organics.

Pumpable inorganic sediment or lagoon dragout contaminated with organics. Sediment with inorganics only is form 513.

Where does Texas form code 512 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, the 3-digit form 512 and a final class character. Form 512 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 512 cover?

This form covers mostly inorganic, pumpable sediment or material removed from a lagoon, with organic contaminants. Lagoon dragout is material removed when the lagoon is cleaned or maintained.
