ComplyOnSiteWhere does Texas form code 598 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 598, then 1 final class character. Form 598 puts the stream in the inorganic sludges category.
This form needs nonhazardous waste. Industrial waste with PCBs at 50 ppm or more is Class 1 when it isn't RCRA hazardous, and the PCB form doesn't make that call.
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 598 cover?
Nonhazardous sludge that is mostly inorganic and pumpable, with PCBs from 50 ppm up to but under 500 ppm. The form needs the waste to be nonhazardous. The PCB band doesn't make it so.

Is PCB sludge Texas form code 598, 599 or 698?
| Code | When it fits |
|---|---|
| 598 | The nonhazardous inorganic sludge holds PCBs at 50 to under 500 ppm. |
| 599 | The nonhazardous inorganic sludge holds PCBs at 500 ppm or more. |
| 698 | The nonhazardous organic sludge holds PCBs at 50 to under 500 ppm. |
Keep the nonhazardous finding, the inorganic make-up, the pumpable form and the PCB result as separate evidence.
