    South Australia interstate Policy: tarry refining and treatment residue

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

Tarry waste residue from refining, distilling or heating organic material without air, such as pitch & still bottoms.

Is SA interstate policy J160 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. This description comes from South Australia's interstate controlled-waste Policy, which is kept apart from the current SA EPA operational table. Whether a waste is controlled also depends on the hazardous-characteristic test and the movement rules.

For a controlled border movement in SA WasteTracker, enter the operational code in the waste-code field of the transport certificate, with the SA description, against the matching consignment authorisation. The operational entry sets the SA tracking-table position. This Policy entry doesn't set local tracking by itself. The SA approval and record requirements apply.

What does SA interstate policy J160 cover?

Tarry residue from refining, distillation or pyrolytic treatment. Both the tar and the process matter, so other tar waste doesn't fit by name alone.

Official wording
Waste tarry residues arising from refining, distillation, and any pyrolytic treatment
