    Drilling mud

Discarded drilling mud in sludge form.

Discarded drilling mud in sludge form. Confirm whether TCEQ or the RRC regulates it before using this form.

Where does Texas form code 514 go in the Texas waste code?

In characters 5–7. The 8-character code is a 4-character stream sequence, then the 3-digit form 514, then 1 final class character. Form 514 puts the stream in the inorganic sludges category.

Form 514 doesn't set a hazard status. The stream's composition, source and properties decide which class character follows it.

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 applicable EPA waste codes. The 3 form digits alone are incomplete.

The generator sets the class from applicable exclusions, federal hazardous-waste listings and characteristics, then Texas industrial-waste criteria. H means hazardous. 1, 2 and 3 are nonhazardous industrial classes. Process knowledge or testing backs the decision, and picking a form doesn't set the class.

What does Texas form code 514 cover?

Discarded drilling mud that is mostly inorganic and pumpable. Its form fits this code, but the activity that made it decides the regulator and the management route.
