Azo products include azo, monoazo, diazo, triazo, polyazo, azoic, benzidine, and pyrazolone products. Triarylmethane products include both triarylmethane and triphenylmethane products. Wastes that are not generated at a dyes or pigments manufacturing site, such as wastes from the off-site use, formulation, and packaging of dyes or pigments, are not included in the K181 listing.

K181 listing levels.
Nonwastewaters containing constituents in amounts equal to or exceeding the following levels during any calendar year are subject to the K181 listing, unless the conditions in the K181 listing are met.

Procedures for demonstrating that dyes or pigment nonwastewaters are not K181. The procedures described in pars.
(a) to
(c) and
(e) establish when nonwastewaters from the production of dyes or pigments would not be hazardous. These procedures apply to wastes that are not disposed in landfill units or treated in combustion units as specified in sub.
(1). If the nonwastewaters are disposed in landfill units or treated in combustion units as described in sub.
(1), then the nonwastewaters are not hazardous. In order to demonstrate that it is meeting the landfill disposal or combustion conditions contained in the K181 listing description, the generator shall maintain documentation as described in par.
(d).
NR 661.0032(4)(a)
(a)
Determination based on no K181 constituents. A generator that has knowledge, such as knowledge of constituents in wastes based on prior sampling and analysis data or information about raw materials used, production processes used, and reaction and degradation products formed, that its wastes contain none of the K181 constituents listed in sub

(b)
Determination for generated quantities of 1,000 metric tons a year or less for wastes that contain K181 constituents. If the total annual quantity of dyes or pigment nonwastewaters generated is 1,000 metric tons or less, the generator can use knowledge of the wastes, such as knowledge of constituents in wastes based on prior analytical data or information about raw materials used, production processes used, and reaction and degradation products formed, to conclude that annual mass loadings for the K181 constituents are below the listing levels of sub.

(c)
Determination for generated quantities greater than 1,000 metric tons a year for wastes that contain K181 constituents.
If the total annual quantity of dyes or pigment nonwastewaters generated is greater than 1,000 metric tons, the generator shall perform all of the following steps in order to make a determination that its waste is not K181:
NR 661.0032(4)(c)1.
1. Determine which K181 constituents listed in sub

NR 661.0032(4)(c)2.
2. If 1,2-phenylenediamine is present in the wastes, the generator can use either knowledge or sampling and analysis procedures to determine the level of this constituent in the wastes. For determinations based on use of knowledge, the generator shall comply with the procedures for using knowledge described in par.
(b) and keep the records described in par.

11. Nonhazardous waste determinations shall be conducted annually to verify that the wastes remain nonhazardous.
NR 661.0032(4)(c)11.a.
a. The annual testing requirements are suspended after 3 consecutive successful annual demonstrations that the wastes are nonhazardous. The generator can then use knowledge of the wastes to support subsequent annual determinations.
NR 661.0032(4)(c)11.b.
b. The annual testing requirements are reinstated if the manufacturing or waste treatment processes generating the wastes are significantly altered, resulting in an increase of the potential for the wastes to exceed the listing levels.
NR 661.0032(4)(c)11.c.
c. If the annual testing requirements are suspended, the generator shall keep records of the process knowledge information used to support a nonhazardous determination. If testing is reinstated, a description of the process change shall be retained.

(d)
Recordkeeping for the landfill disposal and combustion exemptions. For the purposes of meeting the landfill disposal and combustion condition set out in the K181 listing description, the generator shall maintain on site for 3 years documentation demonstrating that each shipment of waste was received by a landfill unit that is subject to or meets the landfill design standards set out in the listing description, or was treated in combustion units as specified in the listing description.

Waste holding and handling. During the interim period, from the point of generation to completion of the hazardous waste determination, the generator is responsible for storing the wastes appropriately. If the wastes are determined to be hazardous and the generator has not complied with the hazardous waste requirements during the interim period, the generator may be subject to an enforcement action for improper management.

An example of a legitimate re-use of the residue would be where the residue remains in the container and the container is used to hold the same commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate it previously held. An example of the discard of the residue would be where the drum is sent to a drum reconditioner who reconditions the drum but discards the residue.
