    Tarry refining and treatment residue

South Australia J160: the tarry residue must arise from refining, distillation or heat-driven decomposition.

Waste tarry residues in South Australia. The tar must arise from refining, distillation or heat-driven decomposition.

Is South Australia J160 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. The SA EPA operational code list and its table of waste requiring tracking are separate, so a code can be on one and not the other. The description doesn't approve a receiving facility or a disposal method.

J160 is in the SA table for waste requiring tracking, within the state or interstate. Enter it with the SA description on the WasteTracker transport certificate, against a matching consignment authorisation. The consignor, transporter and receiver each complete their own part. The SA tracking exemptions still apply.

What does South Australia J160 cover?

Tarry residue from refining, distillation or pyrolytic treatment goes here. It needs both the tar and the process, so other tar waste doesn't fit by name alone.

Is tarry refining residue South Australia J160?

CodeWhen it fits
J160The tarry residue arose from refining, distillation or pyrolytic treatment.

Use the SA EPA operational entry for an SA load. The separate interstate Policy description is kept where its wording differs, but it doesn't replace the operational table or settle tracking on its own.
