Universal Citation: WI Admin Code § NR 664.1059

Current through August 26, 2024

(1) Delay of repair of equipment for which leaks have been detected shall be allowed if the repair is technically infeasible without a hazardous waste management unit shutdown. In such a case, repair the equipment before the end of the next hazardous waste management unit shutdown.

(2) Delay of repair of equipment for which leaks have been detected shall be allowed for equipment that is isolated from the hazardous waste management unit and that does not continue to contain or contact hazardous waste with organic concentrations at least 10% by weight.

(3) Delay of repair for valves shall be allowed if all of the following conditions are met:

(a) The owner or operator determines that emissions of purged material resulting from immediate repair are greater than the emissions likely to result from delay of repair.

(b) When repair procedures are effected, collect and destroy or recover the purged material in a control device complying with s. NR 664.1060.

(4) Delay of repair for pumps shall be allowed if all of the following conditions are met:

(a) The repair requires use of a dual mechanical seal system that includes a barrier fluid system.

(b) The repair is completed as soon as practicable, but not later than 6 months after the leak was detected.

(5) Delay of repair beyond a hazardous waste management unit shutdown shall be allowed for a valve if valve assembly replacement is necessary during the hazardous waste management unit shutdown, valve assembly supplies have been depleted and valve assembly supplies had been sufficiently stocked before the supplies were depleted. Repair may not be delayed beyond the next hazardous waste management unit shutdown unless the next hazardous waste management unit shutdown occurs sooner than 6 months after the first hazardous waste management unit shutdown.
