    Barium compounds

Tasmania D290: barium sulphate is outside this barium-compound entry where the catalogue says so.

Wastes holding soluble barium compounds, such as the carbonate & chloride, but not barium sulphate.

Is Tasmania D290 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. For national-list categories, Tasmania also needs a listed hazardous characteristic, not just the waste description. The characteristic is presumed unless shown otherwise. Tasmania adds its own controlled wastes too, so read the category and the local rules together.

Where controlled waste needs movement documentation, enter D290 with the specific waste description in the controlled-waste consignment documentation. Record the producer, quantity, form, contaminants, registered transporter and receiver. The Tasmanian handling and transport rules apply.

A controlled load coming in from another state needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation. Another state's certificate doesn't authorise the receiving facility.

What does Tasmania D290 cover?

Barium compounds fall here, but barium sulphate is excluded. The chemical matters, because a barium compound isn't enough when it is the sulphate.
