Management Method codes
describe the type of hazardous waste management system used to treat or dispose a hazardous waste. Review the groups and pick the appropriate code.
Management Method Description |
Code |
Reclamation and recovery. |
Metals recovery: Including retorting, smelting, chemical, etc. Recycling credit allowed. |
H010 |
Solvents recovery: Distillation, extraction, etc. Recycling credit allowed. |
H020 |
Other recovery or reclamation for reuse including acid regeneration, organics recovery, etc.: Specify in comments. Recycling credit allowed. |
H039 |
Energy recovery at this site - used as fuel: Includes on-site fuel blending before energy recovery; report only this code. |
H050 |
Fuel blending prior to energy recovery at another site: Waste generated either on site or received from off site. |
H061 |
Destruction or treatment prior to disposal at another site. |
Incineration - thermal destruction other than use as a fuel: Includes any preparation prior to burning. |
H040 |
Chemical reduction with or without precipitation: Includes any preparation or final processes for consolidation of residuals. |
H071 |
Cyanide destruction with or without precipitation: Includes any preparation or final processes for consolidations of residuals. |
H073 |
Chemical oxidation: Includes any preparation or final processes for consolidation of residuals. |
H075 |
Wet air oxidation: Includes any preparation or final processes for consolidation of residuals. |
H076 |
Other chemical precipitation with or without pre-treatment: Includes processes for consolidation of residuals. |
H077 |
Biological treatment: Do not include treatment in an exempted wastewater treatment unit with discharge to NPDES-POTW. |
H081 |
Adsorption: As the major component of treatment. Recycling credit allowed. |
H082 |
Air or steam stripping: As the major component of treatment. |
H083 |
Sludge treatment/dewatering: Major component of treatment; not H071-H075, H077, or H082. |
H101 |
Absorption As the major component of treatment. |
H103 |
Stabilization or chemical fixation prior to disposal at another site: As the major component of treatment; not H071-H075, H077, or H082. |
H111 |
Macro-encapsulation prior to disposal at another site: As the major component of treatment; not reportable as H071-H075, H077, or H082. |
H112 |
Neutralization only: No other treatment. |
H121 |
Evaporation: As the major component of treatment; not reportable as H071-H083. |
H122 |
Settling or clarification: As the major component of treatment; not reportable as H071-H083. |
H123 |
Phase separation: As the major component of treatment; not reportable as H071-H083. |
H124 |
Other treatment: Specify in comments; not reportable as H071-H124. |
H129 |
Disposal |
Land treatment or application: To include any prior treatment and/or stabilization. |
H131 |
Landfill or surface impoundment that will be closed as landfill: To include prior treatment and/ or stabilization. |
H132 |
Deepwell or underground injection: With/without treatment; waste was counted as hazardous waste. |
H134 |
Discharge to sewer/POTW or NPDES: With prior storage - with or without treatment. |
H135 |
Storage/transfer off site |
The site receiving this waste stored, bulked, and transferred the waste with no treatment or recovery (H010-H129), fuel blending (H061), or disposal (H131-H135) at that receiving site. Recycling credit allowed. |
