    Chloride or other brine sludge

Pumpable chloride sludge or other brine sludge.

Pumpable inorganic sludge from chloride or other brines. Liquid brine is not this form. It takes form 199.

Where does Texas form code 516 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 516, then 1 final class character. Form 516 puts the stream in the inorganic sludges category.

Form 516 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 516 cover?

Pumpable chloride sludge and other brine sludge that is mostly inorganic. This is the sludge form. Highly fluid brine solution has a separate liquid form.
