Current through June 24, 2024
(1)
(a) Except for the materials listed in pars.
				  (b) and (c), hazardous wastes that are recycled are subject to the requirements
				  for generators, transporters, and storage facilities under subs. (2) and (3).
				  Hazardous wastes that are recycled will be known as "recyclable
				  materials."
(b) The following
				  recyclable materials are not subject to the requirements of this section but
				  are regulated under subchs. C to N of ch. NR 666 and all applicable provisions
				  in chs.
				  NR 668 and 670:
1. Recyclable materials used in a manner
				  constituting disposal, as specified in subch. C of ch. NR 666.
2. Hazardous wastes burned, as defined in s.
				  NR
				  666.100(1), in boilers and industrial
				  furnaces that are not regulated under subch. O of ch. NR 664, subch. O of ch.
				  NR 665, or subch. H of ch. NR 666.
3. Recyclable materials from which precious
				  metals are reclaimed as specified in subch. F of ch. NR 666.
4. Spent lead-acid batteries that are being
				  reclaimed, as specified in subch. G of ch. NR 666.
(c) The following recyclable materials are
				  not subject to regulation under chs.
				  NR
				  662 to 670, and are not subject to the notification
				  requirements specified in s.
				  NR
				  660.07:
1.
				  Industrial ethyl alcohol that is reclaimed, except that exports and imports of
				  such recyclable materials shall comply with the requirements under subch. H of
				  ch. NR 662 and all of the following:
a. A
				  person initiating a shipment for reclamation in a foreign country, and any
				  intermediary arranging for the shipment, shall comply with the requirements
				  applicable to a primary exporter in s.
				  NR 662.083(7) and
				  (9), shall export such materials only upon
				  consent of the receiving country and in conformance with the EPA acknowledgment
				  of consent, as defined in subch. H of ch. NR 662, and shall provide a copy of
				  the EPA acknowledgment of consent to the shipment to the transporter
				  transporting the shipment for export.
b. A transporter transporting a shipment for
				  export may not accept a shipment if the transporter knows the shipment does not
				  conform to the EPA acknowledgment of consent. The transporter shall ensure that
				  a copy of the EPA acknowledgment of consent accompanies the shipment and shall
				  ensure that it is delivered to the facility designated by the person initiating
				  the shipment.
2. Scrap
				  metal that is not excluded under s.
				  NR
				  661.0004(1) (m).
3. Fuels produced from the refining of
				  oil-bearing hazardous waste along with normal process streams at a petroleum
				  refining facility if such wastes result from normal petroleum refining,
				  production, and transportation practices. This exemption does not apply to
				  fuels produced from oil recovered from oil-bearing hazardous waste, where such
				  recovered oil is already excluded under s.
				  NR
				  661.0004(1) (L).
4. Hazardous waste fuel produced from
				  oil-bearing hazardous wastes from petroleum refining, production, or
				  transportation practices, or produced from oil reclaimed from such hazardous
				  wastes, where such hazardous wastes are reintroduced into a process that does
				  not use distillation or does not produce products from crude oil so long as the
				  resulting fuel meets the used oil specification under s.
				  NR 679.11
				  and so long as no other hazardous wastes are used to produce the hazardous
				  waste fuel.
5. Hazardous waste fuel
				  produced from oil-bearing hazardous waste from petroleum refining production
				  and transportation practices, where such hazardous wastes are reintroduced into
				  a refining process after a point at which contaminants are removed, so long as
				  the fuel meets the used oil fuel specification under s.
				  NR
				  679.11.
6.
				  Oil reclaimed from oil-bearing hazardous wastes from petroleum refining,
				  production, and transportation practices, in which reclaimed oil is burned as a
				  fuel without reintroduction to a refining process, so long as the reclaimed oil
				  meets the used oil fuel specification under s.
				  NR
				  679.11.
(d) Used oil that is recycled and is also a
				  hazardous waste solely because it exhibits a hazardous characteristic is not
				  subject to the requirements under chs.
				  NR
				  660 to 668, but is regulated under ch. NR 679. Used
				  oil that is recycled includes any used oil that is reused, following its
				  original use, for any purpose, including the purpose for which the oil was
				  originally used. This includes oil which is re-refined, reclaimed, burned for
				  energy recovery, or reprocessed.
(e) Hazardous waste that is exported or
				  imported for purpose of recovery is subject to the requirements under subch. H
				  of ch. NR 662.
