Waste Code Review
This page will help review your EPA waste codes for possible discrepancies. The following tables highlight the most common errors; these include assigning both characteristic and list codes -- or more than one list code -- for one hazardous constituent. This typically is a problem in legacy wastes generated more than 7 to 10 years ago. Removing these improper codes will help you eliminate unnecessary treatment requirements that result from improperly assigned codes.
For example, a waste container contaminated with mercury may be listed with both D009 and U151 codes. Although it is possible that both of these codes are correctly assigned, this pr will flag duplicate codes like this for your review. A similar situation would be if both D021 and F002 were assigned for chlorobenzene.
Once the questionable codes have been flagged, you will need to review the process knowledge to determine the correct code. NOTE: If you modify hazardous waste codes, you may also need to update past RCRA annual reports to reflect these modifications.
You should not consider the following list to be exhaustive. In addition, you should consult site environmental compliance personnel regarding any modifications to your waste codes.
NOTE: You should review any U- or P -listed code to ensure that it is either a chemical product which has not been used in an industrial process or is waste resulting from the cleanup of a spill of the chemical.
