NR 665.1063(5)
(5) If an owner or operator determines that a piece of equipment contains or contacts a hazardous waste with organic concentrations at least 10 percent by weight, the determination can be revised only after following the procedures in sub.
(4) (a) or
(b).
NR 665.1063(6)
(6) When an owner or operator and the department do not agree on whether a piece of equipment contains or contacts a hazardous waste with organic concentrations at least 10 percent by weight, the procedures in sub.
(4) (a) or
(b) can be used to resolve the dispute.
NR 665.1063(7)
(7) Samples used in determining the percent organic content shall be representative of the highest total organic content hazardous waste that is expected to be contained in or contact the equipment.
NR 665.1063(8)
(8) To determine if pumps or valves are in light liquid service, the vapor pressures of constituents may be obtained from standard reference texts or may be determined by ASTM D2879-86, incorporated by reference in s.
