Origin
|
|
i |
The waste stream is recurrent: it was
generated on-site from a production process, a service activity, or a
routine cleanup (including off-specification or spent chemicals). |
|
ii |
The waste stream is non-recurrent: it is
the result of a spill cleanup, equipment decommissioning, or other
remedial cleanup activity. |
|
iii |
The waste stream is a residual from
managing a recurrent non-dangerous waste. |
|
iv |
The waste stream is a storage/transfer: it
was received from off-site and was not treated, recycled, or
disposed on-site before being shipped off-site. It is considered
non-recurrent because the waste comes from an off-site generator. |
|
v |
The waste stream is a residual
from the management of a existing recurrent dangerous waste. |
