    South Australia interstate Policy: fire debris and washwater

Policy entry N140: use for interstate controlled-waste policy, not as the local operational list.

Fire debris & fire washwater, the burnt remains & contaminated water left after a fire.

Is SA interstate policy N140 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. This is South Australia's interstate controlled-waste Policy wording, 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 using SA WasteTracker, enter the accepted operational code and its SA description in the waste-code field of the transport certificate, against the matching consignment authorisation. The Policy entry doesn't set SA tracking by itself, so use the operational entry for that. The SA approval and record requirements still apply.

What does SA interstate policy N140 cover?

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