NR 662.010(1)(1) The regulations in this chapter establish the following standards for generators of hazardous waste: NR 662.010(1)(a)(a) A person who generates a hazardous waste as defined under ch. NR 661 is subject to all of the following applicable independent requirements in the subchapters and sections: NR 662.010(1)(a)2.d.d. Subchapter B—Manifest requirements applicable to small and large quantity generators. NR 662.010(1)(a)2.e.e. Subchapter C—Pre-transport requirements applicable to small and large quantity generators. NR 662.010(1)(a)3.d.d. Subchapter B—Manifest requirements applicable to small and large quantity generators. NR 662.010(1)(a)3.e.e. Subchapter C—Pre-transport requirements applicable to small and large quantity generators. NR 662.010(1)(b)(b) A generator that accumulates hazardous waste on-site is a person that stores hazardous waste. Such generator is subject to the applicable requirements of chs. NR 664 to 667 and 670, and s. NR 660.07, unless it is any of the following: NR 662.010(1)(c)(c) A generator may not transport, offer its hazardous waste for transport, or otherwise cause its hazardous waste to be sent to a facility that is not a designated facility, as defined in s. NR 660.10 (21), or not otherwise authorized to receive the generator’s hazardous waste. NR 662.010(2)(2) When determining a generator category, a generator shall use s. NR 662.013 to determine which provisions of this chapter are applicable to the generator based on the quantity of hazardous waste generated per calendar month. NR 662.010(5)(5) Any person who imports hazardous waste into the United States shall comply with the standards applicable to generators established in this chapter. NR 662.010(6)(6) A farmer who generates waste pesticides that are hazardous waste and who complies with all of the requirements under s. NR 662.070 is not required to comply with other standards in this chapter or ch. NR 670, 664, 665, 667, or 668 with respect to such pesticides. NR 662.010(7)(7) A person who generates a hazardous waste as defined under ch.

Register August 2020 No. 776, eff. 9-1-20; correction in (1) (a) 2. d., e., h., 3. d. to g., (4), (9), (14) made under s. 35.17, Stats., Register August 2020 No. 776. NR 662.011NR 662.011 Hazardous waste determination and recordkeeping. A person who generates a solid waste, as defined in s. NR 661.0002, shall make an accurate determination as to whether that waste is a hazardous waste in order to ensure wastes are properly managed according to chs. NR 660 to 679. A hazardous waste determination is made using all of the following steps: NR 662.011(1)(1) The hazardous waste determination for each solid waste shall be made at the point of waste generation, before any dilution, mixing, or other alteration of the waste occurs, and at any time in the course of its management that it has, or may have, changed its properties as a result of exposure to the environment or other factors that may change the properties of the waste such that the RCRA classification of the waste may change. NR 662.011(3)(3) If the waste is not excluded under s. NR 661.0004, the person shall use knowledge of the waste to determine whether the waste meets any of the listing descriptions under subch. D of ch. NR 661. Acceptable knowledge that may be used in making an accurate determination as to whether the waste is listed may include waste origin, composition, the process producing the waste, feedstock, and other reliable and relevant information. If the waste is listed, the person may file a delisting petition under 40 CFR 260.20 and 260.22 to demonstrate to the EPA administrator that the waste from this particular site or operation is not a hazardous waste. The department shall recognize an EPA granted delisting unless the department clearly establishes that a delisting would threaten human health or the environment. NR 662.011(4)(4) The person shall also determine whether the waste exhibits one or more hazardous characteristics as identified in subch. C of ch. NR 661 by following all of the following procedures: NR 662.011(4)(a)(a) The person shall apply knowledge of the hazard characteristic of the waste in light of the materials or the processes used to generate the waste. Acceptable knowledge may include any of the following: process knowledge, which describes information about chemical feedstocks and other inputs to the production process; knowledge of products, by-products, and intermediates produced by the manufacturing process; chemical or physical characterization of wastes; information on the chemical and physical properties of the chemicals used or produced by the process or otherwise contained in the waste; testing that illustrates the properties of the waste; or other reliable and relevant information about the properties of the waste or its constituents. A test other than a test method set forth in subch. C of ch. NR 661, or an equivalent test method approved by the department under s. NR 660.21, may be used as evidence of a person’s knowledge to determine whether a solid waste exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste. However, such tests do not, by themselves, provide definitive results. A person testing the waste shall obtain a representative sample of the waste for the testing, as defined in s. NR 660.10 (101). NR 662.011(4)(b)(b) When available knowledge is inadequate to make an accurate determination, the person shall test the solid waste according to the applicable methods set forth in subch. C of ch. NR 661 or according to an equivalent method approved by the department under s. NR 660.21 and in accordance with all of the following:
