What is a D002 hazardous waste?

Aqueous wastes with a pH greater than or equal to 12.5, or less than or equal to 2 are corrosive under EPA’s rules. A waste may also be corrosive if it has the ability to corrode steel in a specific EPA-approved test protocol. Corrosive wastes carry the waste code D002.

What are listed wastes?

Listed wastes are wastes from common manufacturing and industrial processes, specific industries and can be generated from discarded commercial products. Characteristic wastes are wastes that exhibit any one or more of the following characteristic properties: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity or toxicity.

What are the four listed hazardous wastes?

EPA’s regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations define four hazardous waste characteristic properties: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity (see 40 CFR 261.21-261.24). This document presents the regulations developed that list wastes as hazardous in §§ 261.31 through 261.33.

What hazard class aligns with a D001 waste code?

Can a solid be D001?
