Waste code
EWC 19 13 07*: aqueous liquid wastes and aqueous concentrates from groundwater remediation containing hazardous substances
19 13 07*
Typed into Defra's service and Byrne Waste Tracking as 191307*. It is a hazardous entry (the asterisk), so each load needs its hazard property codes, components and a consignment code.
Who takes it
24 permitted sites in England recorded taking 19 13 07* in their 2024 returns to the Environment Agency.
What happens to it
The recovery or disposal code those sites recorded most for 19 13 07* in 2024 (the code each site used for most of its tonnes):
| Code | Means | Sites |
|---|
| D9 | physico-chemical treatment | 25% |
| R13 | storage pending recovery | 21% |
| R10 | land treatment for benefit | 12% |
| D15 | storage pending disposal | 12% |
The right code is the one on your own permit and transfer notes - this is what other sites did, not a rule. R and D codes explained.
