    Asbestos slurry or sludge

Pumpable asbestos-containing slurry or sludge.

Pumpable asbestos-containing slurry or sludge, an inorganic sludge. Solid asbestos waste is not this form. It takes form 311.

Where does Texas form code 515 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 515, then 1 final class character. Form 515 puts the stream in the inorganic sludges category.

Form 515 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 515 cover?

Asbestos-containing waste that is mostly inorganic and pumpable as a slurry or sludge. Its pumpable form separates it from asbestos solids and debris, but you still need to document why it is asbestos waste.
