Universal Citation: WI Admin Code § NR 670.021

Current through August 26, 2024

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

(1)A list of the hazardous wastes placed or to be placed in each landfill or landfill cell.

(2)Detailed plans and an engineering report describing how the landfill is designed and is or will be constructed, operated and maintained to meet ss. NR 664.0019, 664.0301, 664.0302 and 664.0303, addressing all of the following items:

(a)

1. The liner system (except for an existing portion of a landfill), if the landfill shall meet s. NR 664.0301(1). If an exemption from the requirement for a liner is sought as provided by s. NR 664.0301(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 landfill shall meet s. NR 664.0301(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 664.0301(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 664.0302, and response action plan, if required under s. NR 664.0303.

(b) Control of run-on.

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

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

(3)A description of how each landfill, 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 664.0303(1), (2) and (3). This information shall be included in the inspection plan submitted under s. NR 670.014(2) (e).

(4)A description of how each landfill, including the liner and cover systems, will be inspected in order to meet s. NR 664.0303(1) and (2). This information shall be included in the inspection plan submitted under s. NR 670.014(2) (e).

(5)Detailed plans and an engineering report describing the final cover which will be applied to each landfill or landfill cell at closure according to s. NR 664.0310(1), and a description of how each landfill will be maintained and monitored after closure according to s. NR 664.0310(2). This information shall be included in the closure and long-term care plans submitted under s. NR 670.014(2) (m).

(6)If ignitable or reactive wastes will be landfilled, an explanation of how the standards of s. NR 664.0312 will be complied with.

(7)If incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials will be landfilled, an explanation of how s. NR 664.0313 will be complied with.

(8)If bulk or non-containerized liquid waste or wastes containing free liquids is to be landfilled prior to May 8, 1985, an explanation of how s. NR 664.0314(1) will be complied with.

(9)If containers of hazardous waste are to be landfilled, an explanation of how s. NR 664.0315 or 664.0316, as applicable, will be complied with.

(10)A waste management plan for hazardous waste numbers F020, F021, F022, F023, F026 and F027 describing how a landfill is or will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to meet s. NR 664.0317. This submission shall address all of the following items specified in s. NR 664.0317:

(a) The volume, physical and chemical characteristics of the wastes, 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.

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