ComplyOnSiteWhere does Texas form code 603 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 603, then 1 final class character. Form 603 puts the stream in the organic sludges category.
Form 603 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 603 cover?
Pumpable oily sludge that is mostly organic. Sludge consistency separates it from highly fluid waste oil. Other petroleum-contaminated sludge can use the residual petroleum form.
