Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 600-699 - Environmental Protection - Hazardous Waste Management › Chapter NR 668 - Hazardous Waste Land Disposal Restrictions › Subchapter D - Treatment Standards › Section NR 668.48 - Universal treatment standards

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) Table UTS
				  identifies the hazardous constituents, along with the nonwastewater and
				  wastewater treatment standard levels, that are used to regulate most prohibited
				  hazardous wastes with numerical limits. For determining compliance with
				  treatment standards for underlying hazardous constituents as defined in s.
				  NR
				  668.02(9), these treatment standards
				  may not be exceeded. Compliance with these treatment standards is measured by
				  an analysis of grab samples, unless otherwise noted in the following Table UTS.

1 CAS means Chemical Abstract
					 Services. When the waste code or regulated constituents are described as a
					 combination of a chemical with its salts or esters, the CAS number is given for
					 the parent compound only.
2 Concentration standards for
					 wastewaters are expressed in mg/L and are based on analysis of composite
					 samples.
3 Except for metals (EP or TCLP)
					 and cyanides (total and amenable) the nonwastewater treatment standards
					 expressed as a concentration were established, in part, based upon incineration
					 in units operated according to the technical requirements of subch. O of ch. NR
					 664 or subch. O of ch. NR 665, or based upon combustion in fuel substitution
					 units operating according to applicable technical requirements. A facility may
					 comply with these treatment standards according to s.
					 NR
					 668.40(4). All concentration
					 standards for nonwastewaters are based on analysis of grab samples.
4 Both cyanides (total) and
					 cyanides (amenable) for nonwastewaters are to be analyzed using Method 9010C or
					 9012B, found in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical
					 Methods," EPA SW-846, incorporated by reference in s.
					 NR
					 660.11, with a sample size of 10 grams and a
					 distillation time of one hour and 15 minutes.
