Wastewaters are wastes that contain less than 1 percent by weight total organic carbon (TOC) and less than 1 percent by weight total suspended solids. For characteristic waste, the description specifies either ignitability, corrosivity, or reactivity or the toxicity characteristic. For listed hazardous wastes the column describes the listed waste. The second column (Waste Description and Treatment/Regulatory subcategory) describes the waste in more detail. The first column (waste code) assists the waste handler in locating all the EPA hazardous waste codes applicable to the waste. *DEACT is defined in 40 CFR Part 268.42 as deactivation to remove the hazardous characteristics of a waste due to its ignitability, corrosivity, and/or reactivity.

Treatment standards for hazardous wastes are found in the treatment standards table at Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in section 268.40. Hazardous waste that is destined for land disposal must meet all applicable treatment standards prior to land disposal. A waste is considered hazardous in two ways: when listed as a hazardous waste or when exhibiting a characteristic of hazardous waste.
