Current through June 24, 2024
(1) The owner or
				  operator shall inspect the facility for malfunctions and deterioration,
				  operator errors and discharges which may be causing, or may lead to, release of
				  hazardous waste constituents to the environment or a threat to human health.
				  The owner or operator shall conduct these inspections often enough to identify
				  problems in time to correct them before they harm human health or the
				  environment.
(2)
(a) The owner or operator shall develop and
				  follow a written schedule for inspecting monitoring equipment, safety and
				  emergency equipment, security devices and operating and structural equipment
				  (such as dikes and sump pumps) that are important to preventing, detecting or
				  responding to environmental or human health hazards.
(b) The owner or operator shall keep this
				  schedule at the facility.
(c) The
				  schedule shall identify the types of problems (e.g., malfunctions or
				  deterioration) which are to be looked for during the inspection (e.g.,
				  inoperative sump pump, leaking fitting, eroding dike, etc.).
Note: Chapter
					 NR 670 requires the inspection
					 schedule to be submitted with the feasibility and plan of operation report. The
					 department shall evaluate the schedule along with the rest of the report to
					 ensure that it adequately protects human health and the environment. As part of
					 this review, the department may modify or amend the schedule as may be
					 necessary.
(d) The
				  frequency of inspection may vary for the items on the schedule. However, the
				  frequency should be based on the rate of deterioration of the equipment and the
				  probability of an environmental or human health incident if the deterioration,
				  malfunction or any operator error goes undetected between inspections. Areas
				  subject to spills, such as loading and unloading areas, shall be inspected
				  daily when in use. At a minimum, the inspection schedule shall include the
				  items and frequencies called for in ss.

					 description of how the training program is designed to meet actual job
					 tasks.
(b) This program
				  shall be directed by a person trained in hazardous waste management procedures,
				  and shall include instruction which teaches facility personnel hazardous waste
				  management procedures (including contingency plan implementation) relevant to
				  the positions in which they are employed.
(c) At a minimum, the training program shall
				  be designed to ensure that facility personnel are able to respond effectively
				  to emergencies by familiarizing them with emergency procedures, emergency
				  equipment and emergency systems, including, where applicable, all of the
				  following:

Current through June 24, 2024
(1)
				  The owner or operator shall take precautions to prevent accidental ignition or
				  reaction of ignitable or reactive waste. This waste shall be separated and
				  protected from sources of ignition or reaction including, but not limited to,
				  open flames, smoking, cutting and welding, hot surfaces, frictional heat,
				  sparks (static, electrical or mechanical), spontaneous ignition (e.g., from
				  heat-producing chemical reactions) and radiant heat. While ignitable or
				  reactive waste is being handled, the owner or operator shall confine smoking
				  and open flame to specially designated locations. "No Smoking" signs shall be
				  conspicuously placed wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive
				  waste.
(2) Where specifically
				  required by other sections of this chapter, the owner or operator of a facility
				  that treats, stores or disposes ignitable or reactive waste, or mixes
				  incompatible waste or incompatible wastes and other materials, shall take
				  precautions to prevent reactions which do any of the following:
(a) Generate extreme heat or pressure, fire
				  or explosions or violent reactions.
(b) Produce uncontrolled toxic mists, fumes,
				  dusts or gases in sufficient quantities to threaten human health or the
				  environment.
(c) Produce

(2) FLOODPLAINS.
(a) A facility located in a 100-year
				  floodplain shall be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to prevent
				  washout of any hazardous waste by a 100-year flood, unless the owner or
				  operator can demonstrate any of the following to the department's satisfaction:
1. Procedures are in effect which will cause
				  the waste to be removed safely, before flood waters can reach the facility, to
				  a location where the wastes will not be vulnerable to flood waters.
2. For existing surface impoundments, waste
				  piles, landfills and miscellaneous units, no adverse effects on human health or
				  the environment will result if washout occurs, considering all of the
				  following:
a. The volume and physical and
				  chemical characteristics of the waste in the facility.
b. The concentration of hazardous
				  constituents that would potentially affect surface waters as a result of
				  washout.
c. The impact of the
				  concentrations on the current or potential uses of and water quality standards
				  established for the affected surface waters.
d. The impact of hazardous constituents on
				  the sediments of affected surface waters or the soils of the 100-year
				  floodplain that could result from washout.
Note: The location where wastes are moved must be a
					 facility which is either licensed by the department under ch. NR 670,
					 authorized to manage hazardous waste by a state with a hazardous waste
					 management program authorized under 40 CFR part 271, or interim licensed under
					 chs. NR 665 and
					 670.
