Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 500-599 - Environmental Protection - Solid Waste Management › Chapter NR 518 - Landspreading Of Solid Waste › Section NR 518.06 - Solid waste landspreading plan

Current through June 24, 2024
No person may establish, construct, operate or maintain a
				  solid waste landspreading facility or expand an existing facility without first
				  obtaining written department approval of a solid waste landspreading plan as
				  provided in this section. Specific requirements of this section may be waived
				  by the department based on a review of the material characteristics.
(1) WASTE CHARACTERIZATION. The landspreading
				plan shall include a detailed description and analysis of each waste type
				proposed to be spread at a landspreading facility. Unless otherwise approved by
				the department in writing, data on waste types shall include, at a minimum, the
				following information:
(a) The sources,
				processes or treatment systems from which the wastes originate including a list
				of all chemicals added during these processes. Material safety data sheets or
				other data sources providing information specific to these chemicals shall be
				included.
(b) Waste pretreatment or
				waste processing techniques utilized prior to landspreading.
(c) The volumes of solid waste to be spread,
				stored or disposed.
(d) Physical
				characteristics of the waste material including the solids fraction and the
				organic fraction.
(e) Analysis of
				the waste material for the following parameters. The limit of detection and the
				limit of quantitation shall be reported with the sample results. If a substance
				is detected below the limit of quantitation, the detected value with the
				appropriate qualifier shall be reported.
1.
				pH.
2. Nutrient content including
				Kjeldahl-nitrogen, ammonia-nitrogen, nitrate and nitrate-nitrogen, phosphorous
				and potassium.
3. Salt content
				including chloride, fluoride and sulfate.
4. Biological populations including total
				coliform, fecal coliform and any virus present in the waste material.
5. Metals content including aluminum, barium,
				boron, calcium, copper, iron, manganese, magnesium, sodium, strontium and
				zinc.
6. A bulk chemical analysis
				for additional analytes may be required by the department based on the
				information provided in pars.(a) to (d).
(f) Based on the information provided in
				pars.(a) to (e), the department may require that the waste material, the
				landspreading site soil and a mixture of waste material and soil be leach
				tested for those parameters listed in subds.1. to 3. This analysis shall use
				limits of detection which are at or below the preventive action limits
				established in ch. NR 140. If no preventive action limit exists, the limits of
				detection shall be the lowest level achievable using approved methods. The
				limit of detection and the limit of quantitation shall be reported with the
				sample results. If a substance is detected below the limit of quantitation, the
				detected value with the appropriate qualifier shall be reported. The leach
				tests performed on the mixture of waste material and soil shall represent the
				anticipated field conditions.
1. All priority
				pollutants as identified by the U.S. environmental protection agency.
2. Any chemicals identified in par. (a) which
				have the potential to adversely affect the environment.
3. Metals including aluminum, barium, boron,
				calcium, copper, iron, manganese, magnesium, sodium, strontium and
				zinc.
