    Fire debris and washwater

SA operational entry N140 is included in the current WasteTracker scope.

Fire debris & fire washwaters in South Australia. On South Australia's operational list.

Is South Australia N140 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.

N140 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 N140 cover?

Fire debris and fire washwater go here. Both come from a fire or firefighting, whether solid debris or extinguishing washwater.
