NR 668, ignitable wastes in containers may be landfilled without meeting the requirements of sub. (1), provided that the wastes are disposed of in such a way that they are protected from any material or conditions which may cause them to ignite. At a minimum, ignitable wastes shall be disposed of in non-leaking containers which are carefully handled and placed so as to avoid heat, sparks, rupture or any other condition that might cause ignition of the wastes; shall be covered daily with soil or other non-combustible material to minimize the potential for ignition of the wastes and may not be disposed of in cells that contain or will contain other wastes which may generate heat sufficient to cause ignition of the waste.

NR 664.0314(2)(2) To demonstrate the absence or presence of free liquids in either a containerized or a bulk waste, the following test shall be used: Method 9095B (paint filter liquids test) as described in “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,” EPA SW-846, incorporated by reference in s.

Small containers of hazardous waste in overpacked drums (lab packs) may be placed in a landfill if all of the following requirements are met: NR 664.0316(1)(1) Hazardous waste shall be packaged in non-leaking inside containers. The inside containers shall be of a design and constructed of a material that will not react dangerously with, be decomposed by or be ignited by the contained waste. Inside containers shall be tightly and securely sealed. The inside containers shall be of the size and type specified in the U.S. department of transportation (DOT) hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR parts 173, 178 and 179), if those regulations specify a particular inside container for the waste. NR 664.0316(2)(2) The inside containers shall be overpacked in an open head DOT-specification metal shipping container (49 CFR parts 178 and 179) of no more than 416-liter (110 gallon) capacity and surrounded by, at a minimum, a sufficient quantity of sorbent material, determined to be nonbiodegradable in accordance with s.

NR 664.0317(1)(1) Hazardous wastes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026 and F027 may not be placed in a landfill unless the owner or operator operates the landfill in accord with a management plan for these wastes that is approved by the department pursuant to the standards set out in this subsection, and in accord with all other applicable requirements of this chapter. All of the following factors shall be considered: NR 664.0317(1)(a)(a) The volume and physical and chemical characteristics of the wastes, including their potential to migrate through the soil or to volatilize or escape into the atmosphere.

NR 660.10), except as s. NR 664.0001 provides otherwise. NR 664.0340(2)(a)(a) Except as provided by pars. (b) to (d), the standards of this subchapter do not apply to a new hazardous waste incineration unit that becomes subject to hazardous waste license requirements after October 12, 2005, and no longer apply when an owner or operator of an existing hazardous waste incineration unit demonstrates compliance with the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE, by conducting a comprehensive performance test and submitting proof of a postmarked notification of compliance to the department under 40 CFR 63.1207 (j) and 63.1210 (d) documenting compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE. Nevertheless, even after this demonstration of compliance with the MACT standards, hazardous waste license conditions that were based on the standards of this chapter will continue to be in effect until the department removes them from the license or denies, suspends or revokes the license, unless the license expressly provides otherwise. NR 664.0340(2)(d)(d) All of the following requirements remain in effect for startup, shutdown and malfunction events if the owner or operator elects to comply with s.

NR 664.0341 and 664.0351, if all of the following conditions are met: NR 664.0340(3)(a)(a) The department finds that the waste to be burned is one of the following: NR 664.0340(3)(a)2.2. Listed as a hazardous waste in subch. D of ch. NR 661 solely because it is reactive (hazard code R) for characteristics other than those in s. NR 661.0023 (1) (d) and (e), and will not be burned when other hazardous wastes are present in the combustion zone. NR 664.0340(3)(a)3.3. A hazardous waste solely because it possesses the characteristic of ignitability, corrosivity or both, as determined by the test for characteristics of hazardous wastes under subch. C of ch. NR 661. NR 664.0340(3)(b)(b) The waste analysis shows that the waste contains none of the hazardous constituents in ch. NR 661 Appendix VIII, which would reasonably be expected to be in the waste. NR 664.0340(4)(4) If the waste to be burned is one which is described by sub. (3) (a) 1., 2., 3. or 4. and contains insignificant concentrations of the hazardous constituents in ch. NR 661 Appendix VIII, then the department may, in establishing license conditions, exempt the applicant from all requirements of this subchapter, except ss. NR 664.0341 and 664.0351, after consideration of the waste analysis included with the feasibility and plan of operation report, unless the department finds that the waste will pose a threat to human health and the environment when burned in an incinerator.

NR 664.0342(2)(a)(a) The department will specify one or more POHCs in the facility’s license, from among those constituents in ch. NR 661 Appendix VIII, for each waste feed to be burned. The department will base this specification on the degree of difficulty of incineration of the organic constituents in the waste and on their concentration or mass in the waste feed, considering the results of waste analyses and trial burns or alternative data submitted with the feasibility and plan of operation report. Organic constituents which represent the greatest degree of difficulty of incineration will be those most likely to be designated as POHCs. Constituents are more likely to be designated as POHCs if they are present in large quantities or concentrations in the waste. NR 664.0342(2)(b)(b) The department will designate trial POHCs for performance of trial burns according to the procedure in s. NR 670.062 for obtaining trial burn plan approvals.

(b), an incinerator burning hazardous waste shall achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99% for each principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated (under s. NR 664.0342) in its license for each waste feed. Determine the DRE for each POHC using the following equation: where:
Win = mass feed rate of one principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) in the waste stream feeding the incinerator
Wout = mass emission rate of the same POHC present in exhaust emissions prior to release to the atmosphere
NR 664.0343(1)(b)(b) An incinerator burning hazardous wastes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026 or F027 shall achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.9999% for each principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated (under s. NR 664.0342) in its license. The owner or operator shall demonstrate this performance on POHCs that are more difficult to incinerate than tetra-, penta- and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. The owner or operator shall determine the DRE for each POHC using the equation in par. (a). NR 664.0343(2)(2) An incinerator burning hazardous waste and producing stack emissions of more than 1.8 kilograms per hour (4 pounds per hour) of hydrogen chloride (HCl) shall control HCl emissions such that the rate of emission is no greater than the larger of either 1.8 kilograms per hour or 1% of the HCl in the stack gas prior to entering any pollution control equipment. NR 664.0343(3)(3) An incinerator burning hazardous waste may not emit particulate matter in excess of 180 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter (0.08 grains per dry standard cubic foot) when corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to the formula:
