A chlorination tank that receives and treats a listed hazardous waste is a
hazardous waste treatment tank.
A plating bath solution is not considered an F007 waste until it is spent.
Only the dragout from the plating operation or dumping of the plating bath
solution (indicating that it is spent) could be considered F007 waste. Sludge
that forms in the bottom of the chlorination tank is also an F007 waste. The
sludge would be considered an F006 waste only if wastewaters from the electro-
plating operation were to enter the chlorination tank for treatment in addition
to the F007 waste.
