Subch. H of ch. NR 662 Note
Note: The requirements on which this subchapter is based,
40 CFR part 262, subpart H, are administered and enforced by EPA and not the department because the exercise of foreign relations and international commerce powers is reserved to the federal government under the U.S. Constitution. Wisconsin has adopted these requirements into its rules for the convenience of the regulated community. Wisconsin plays a key role in providing EPA with information on whether Wisconsin facilities designated to receive hazardous waste imports are authorized to manage specific wastes and in ensuring facility compliance with all applicable environmental laws and rules. The
40 CFR part 262, subpart H requirements apply to only those wastes identified or listed under the federal program that are subject to federal manifesting requirements.
NR 662.080(1)(1)
The requirements of this subchapter apply to transboundary movements of hazardous wastes.
NR 662.080(2)
(2) Any person, including exporter, importer, disposal facility operator, or recovery facility operator, who mixes two or more wastes, including hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, or otherwise subjects two or more wastes, including hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, to physical or chemical transformation operations, and thereby creates a new hazardous waste, becomes a generator and assumes all subsequent generator duties under RCRA and any exporter duties, if applicable, under this subchapter.
