ACT guide entry D340; it supports interstate control and does not settle local disposal approval.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT D340 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. ACT interstate controls apply when the waste matches a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and has a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT list supplies the printed code, because the NEPM doesn't print A100-style numbers.
For a controlled border movement, enter D340 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver each complete their part. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and dangerous goods details. ACT movement exclusions still apply.
What does ACT D340 cover?
Waste containing perchlorates falls here. It covers the whole chemical group, whichever perchlorate it is, what process made it or what form it takes.
