NR 664.0072 NR 664.0072 Manifest discrepancies.

NR 664.0072(1) (1) Manifest discrepancies are any of the following:

NR 664.0072(1)(a) (a) Significant differences, as defined by sub. (2), between the quantity or type of hazardous waste designated on the manifest or shipping paper, and the quantity or type of hazardous waste a facility actually receives.

NR 664.0072(1)(b) (b) Rejected wastes, which may be a full or partial shipment of hazardous waste that the treatment, storage or disposal facility cannot accept.

NR 664.0072(1)(c) (c) Container residues, which are residues that exceed the quantity limits for empty containers set forth in s. NR 661.0007 (2).

NR 664.0072(2) (2) Significant discrepancies in quantity are, for bulk waste, variations greater than 10% in weight, and for batch waste, any variation in piece count, such as a discrepancy of one drum in a truckload. Significant discrepancies in type are obvious differences which can be discovered by inspection or waste analysis, such as waste solvent substituted for waste acid or toxic constituents not reported on the manifest or shipping paper.

NR 664.0072(3) (3) Upon discovering a significant discrepancy, the owner or operator shall attempt to reconcile the discrepancy with the waste generator or transporter (e.g., with telephone conversations). If the discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after receiving the waste, the owner or operator shall immediately submit to the department a letter describing the discrepancy and attempts to reconcile it, and a copy of the manifest or shipping paper at issue.

NR 661.0007 (2), the facility owner or operator shall consult with the generator prior to forwarding the waste to another facility that can manage the waste. If it is impossible to locate an alternative facility that can receive the waste, the facility owner or operator may return the rejected waste or residue to the generator. The facility owner or operator shall send the waste to the alternative facility or to the generator within 60 days of the rejection or the container residue identification.

NR 664.0072(4)(b) (b) While the facility owner or operator is making arrangements for forwarding rejected wastes or residues to another facility under this section, it shall ensure that either the delivering transporter retains custody of the waste, or the facility owner or operator shall provide for secure, temporary custody of the waste, pending delivery of the waste to the first transporter designated on the manifest prepared under sub. (5) or (6).

NR 664.0072(5)(f) (f) Sign the generator’s or offeror’s certification to certify, as the offeror of the shipment, that the waste has been properly packaged, marked and labeled and is in proper condition for transportation, and mail a signed copy of the manifest to the generator identified in Item 5 of the new manifest.

NR 664.0072(5)(g) (g) For full load rejections that are made while the transporter remains present at the facility, the facility owner or operator may forward the rejected shipment to the alternate facility by completing Item 18b of the original manifest and supplying the information on the next destination facility in the alternate facility space. The facility owner or operator shall retain a copy of this manifest for its records, and then give the remaining copies of the manifest to the transporter to accompany the shipment. If the original manifest is not used, then the facility owner or operator shall use a new manifest and comply with pars. (a) to (f).
