| L | H134 | Deepwell or underground injection (with or without treatment) |
| T | H135 | Discharge to sewer/POTW or NPDES (with prior storage - with or without treatment) |
| Storage and Transfer | ||
| L | H141 | Storage, bulking, and/or transfer off site - no treatment/recovery (H010-H129), fuel blending (H061), or disposal (H131-H135) at this site |
* The Handling Codes provided in this conversion table reflect the disposal method for the Hazardous Waste Management Method Code provided in Box 19 of the Hazardous Waste Manifest Form. Note, the Management Method Code in Box 19 describes the way in which the waste is to be managed by the first Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility (TSDF) to receive the waste (as provide in Box 8 of the manifest form). However, further management of a hazardous waste may occur subsequently. The manifest form must provide the Handling Code for the ultimate disposal of a hazardous waste, and therefore may be other than those provided in the conversion table.
