Current through August 26, 2024

Except as otherwise provided in s. NR 664.0001, owners and operators of facilities that store or treat hazardous waste in waste piles shall provide all of the following additional information:

(1)A list of hazardous wastes placed or to be placed in each waste pile.

(2)If an exemption is sought to s. NR 664.0251 and subch. ch. NR 664 as provided by s. NR 664.0250(3) or 664.0090, an explanation of how the standards of s. NR 664.0250(3) will be complied with or detailed plans and an engineering report describing how s. NR 664.0090(2) (b) will be met.

(3)Detailed plans and an engineering report describing how the waste pile is designed and is or will be constructed, operated and maintained to meet ss. NR 664.0019, 664.0251, 664.0252 and 664.0253, addressing all of the following items:

(a)
1. The liner system (except for an existing portion of a waste pile), if the waste pile shall meet s. NR 664.0251(1). If an exemption from the requirement for a liner is sought as provided by s. NR 664.0251(2), submit detailed plans, and engineering and hydrogeological reports, as appropriate, describing alternate designs and operating practices that will, in conjunction with location aspects, prevent the migration of any hazardous constituents into the groundwater or surface water at any future time.

2. The double liner and leak (leachate) detection, collection and removal system, if the waste pile shall meet s. NR 664.0251(3). If an exemption from the requirements for double liners and a leak detection, collection and removal system or alternative design is sought as provided by s. NR 664.0251(4), (5) or (6), submit appropriate information.

3. If the leak detection system is located in a saturated zone, submit detailed plans and an engineering report explaining the leak detection system design and operation, and the location of the saturated zone in relation to the leak detection system.

4. The construction quality assurance (CQA) plan if required under s. NR 664.0019.

5. Proposed action leakage rate, with rationale, if required under s. NR 664.0252, and response action plan, if required under s. NR 664.0253.

(b) Control of run-on.

(c) Control of run-off.

(d) Management of collection and holding units associated with run-on and run-off control systems.

(e) Control of wind dispersal of particulate matter, where applicable.

(4)A description of how each waste pile, including the double liner system, leachate collection and removal system, leak detection system, cover system and appurtenances for control of run-on and run-off, will be inspected in order to meet s. NR 664.0254(1), (2) and (3). This information shall be included in the inspection plan submitted under s. NR 670.014(2) (e).

(5)If treatment is carried out on or in the pile, details of the process and equipment used, and the nature and quality of the residuals.

(6)If ignitable or reactive wastes are to be placed in a waste pile, an explanation of how s. NR 664.0256 will be complied with.

(7)If incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials will be place in a waste pile, an explanation of how s. NR 664.0257 will be complied with.

(8)A description of how hazardous waste residues and contaminated materials will be removed from the waste pile at closure, as required under s. NR 664.0258(1). For any waste not to be removed from the waste pile upon closure, the owner or operator shall submit detailed plans and an engineering report describing how s. NR 664.0310(1) and (2) will be complied with. This information shall be included in the closure plan and, where applicable, the long-term care plan submitted under s. NR 670.014(2) (m).

(9)A waste management plan for hazardous waste numbers F020, F021, F022, F023, F026 and F027 describing how a waste pile that is not enclosed (as defined in s. NR 664.0250(3)) is or will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to meet s. NR 664.0259. This submission shall address all of the following items specified in s. NR 664.0259:

(a) The volume, physical and chemical characteristics of the wastes to be disposed in the waste pile, including their potential to migrate through soil or to volatilize or escape into the atmosphere.

(b) The attenuative properties of underlying and surrounding soils or other materials.

(c) The mobilizing properties of other materials co-disposed with these wastes.

(d) The effectiveness of additional treatment, design or monitoring techniques.
