Tarry refining and treatment residue
Tasmania J160: the tarry residue must arise from refining, distillation or heat-driven decomposition.
ComplyOnSiteIs Tasmania J160 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. For national-list categories, Tasmania also needs a listed hazardous characteristic, which is presumed unless shown otherwise. Tasmania adds its own controlled wastes too, so read the category and the local rules together.
Put J160 with the specific waste description in the controlled-waste consignment documentation. Record the producer, quantity, form, contaminants, registered transporter and receiver. An incoming interstate controlled load needs EPA Tasmania's consignment authorisation, and another state's certificate doesn't authorise the receiving facility. Follow the Tasmanian handling and transport rules.
What does Tasmania J160 cover?
Tarry residue from refining, distillation or pyrolytic treatment goes here. Both the tar and the process matter, so unrelated tar waste doesn't fit by name alone.
