Current through August 26, 2024

(1) The owner or operator shall prevent the unknowing entry, and minimize the possibility for the unauthorized entry, of persons or livestock onto the active portion of the facility, unless the owner or operator can demonstrate to the department all of the following:

(a) Physical contact with the waste, structures, or equipment within the active portion of the facility will not injure unknowing or unauthorized persons or livestock which may enter the active portion of a facility.

(b) Disturbance of the waste or equipment, by the unknowing or unauthorized entry of persons or livestock onto the active portion of a facility, will not cause a violation of the requirements of this chapter.

Note: Chapter NR 670 requires that an owner or operator who wishes to make the demonstration referred to in pars. (a) and (b) shall do so with the feasibility report or feasibility and plan of operation report.

(2) Unless the owner or operator has made a successful demonstration under sub. (1)(a) and (b), a facility shall have any of the following:

(a) A 24-hour surveillance system (e.g., television monitoring or surveillance by guards or facility personnel) which continuously monitors and controls entry onto the active portion of the facility.

(b) All of the following:
1. An artificial or natural barrier (e.g., a fence in good repair or a fence combined with a cliff), which completely surrounds the active portion of the facility.

2. A means to control entry, at all times, through the gates or other entrances to the active portion of the facility (e.g., an attendant, television monitors, locked entrance or controlled roadway access to the facility).

Note: The requirements of sub. (2) are satisfied if the facility or plant within which the active portion is located itself has a surveillance system, or a barrier and a means to control entry, which complies with the requirements of par. (a) or (b).

(3) Unless the owner or operator has made a successful demonstration under sub. (1) (a) and (b), a sign with the legend, "Danger-Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out", shall be posted at each entrance to the active portion of a facility, and at other locations, in sufficient numbers to be seen from any approach to this active portion. The legend shall be written in English and in any other language predominant in the area surrounding the facility, and shall be legible from a distance of at least 25 feet. Existing signs with a legend other than "Danger-Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out" may be used if the legend on the sign indicates that only authorized personnel are allowed to enter the active portion, and that entry onto the active portion can be dangerous.

See s. NR 664.0117(2) for discussion of security requirements at disposal facilities during the long-term care period.
