13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
EPA Waste ID Number.- D00
Special Instructions (Disposal): Dilute to 3 to 5 times the volume with cold water. Adjust to a pH between 6 and 9 with
an alkali, such as soda ash or sodium bicarbonate. Open cold water tap completely, slowly pour the reacted material to the
drain. Allow cold water to run for 5 minutes to completely flush the system. Verification should be made that such
disposal is not inconsistent with any pretreatment agreement your facility may have with the wastewater treatment facility.
Empty Containers: Rinse three times with an appropriate solvent. Dispose of empty container as normal trash
NOTICE (Disposal): These disposal guidelines are based on federal regulations and niay be superseded by more stringent
state or local requirements. Please consult your local environmental regulators for more information.
