Therefore, the WWT sludge would be classified as a hazardous waste in California, even if U.S. EPA did not consider it to be a federally listed or characteristic (RCRA) hazardous waste. However, California has a recycling exclusion that would apply to the WWT sludge under the following conditions:

If these two conditions are met and the WWT sludge qualifies for with Section 25143.2(d)(6) II&SC exclusion, then the WWT sludge would not be classified as a hazardous waste but as a "excluded recyclable material" in California. See relevant II&SC Sections (attached).
