Need recovery options for a D015 stream?
Map recovery routes for D015Wastes that are hazardous because of what they do, not where they come from: ignitability (D001), corrosivity (D002), reactivity (D003), or toxicity (D004-D043, defined by TCLP contaminant thresholds). Any industrial waste stream can carry a D code.
A D code is determined by testing, not by source: TCLP for toxicity (D004-D043), flash point for ignitability (D001), pH for corrosivity (D002).
Characteristic wastes can exit hazardous status when the characteristic is removed - treatment to below the regulatory level is a recognized compliance path.
Generators must count D-coded streams toward their monthly generator status (VSQG / SQG / LQG).
Recognized recovery routes for this waste family, ranked by typical recovery tier. Which route fits depends on your specific stream — composition, volume and region.
Pesticide-bearing characteristic wastes carry combustion-based treatment standards; destruction at permitted high-temperature units is the established route for the organic load.
40 CFR 268.40 — LDR treatment standardsStreams with meaningful organic fuel content may qualify for burning for energy recovery in permitted industrial furnaces rather than pure destruction — dependent on halogen and metals limits.
40 CFR Part 266 Subpart H — burning for energy recoveryThese are the typical routes for the D list. Your stream's actual options depend on its composition and where it sits.
