NR 667.0071(2)
(2) If a facility receives, from a rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter, hazardous waste which is accompanied by a shipping paper containing all the information required on the manifest (excluding the EPA identification numbers, generator's certification, and signatures), the owner or operator or an agent, shall:
NR 667.0071(2)(a)
(a) Sign and date each copy of the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest has not been received) to certify that the hazardous waste covered by the manifest or shipping paper was received.
NR 667.0071(2)(b)
(b) Note any significant discrepancies (as defined in s.
NR 667.0072 (1)) in the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest has not been received) on each copy of the manifest or shipping paper. Note that the department does not intend that the owner or operator of a facility whose procedures under s.
NR 667.0013 include waste analysis must perform that analysis before signing the shipping paper and giving it to the transporter. Section
NR 667.0072 (2), however, requires reporting an unreconciled discrepancy discovered during later analysis.
NR 667.0071(2)(c)
(c) Immediately give the rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter at least one copy of the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest has not been received).
NR 667.0071(2)(d)
(d) Within 30 days after the delivery, send a copy of the signed and dated manifest to the generator; however, if the manifest has not been received within 30 days after delivery, the owner or operator or an agent, shall send a copy of the shipping paper signed and dated to the generator. Note that ss.
NR 662.023 (4) and
(5) require the generator to send 3 copies of the manifest to the facility when hazardous waste is sent by rail or water (bulk shipment).
NR 667.0071(2)(e)
(e) Retain at the facility a copy of the manifest and shipping paper (if signed in lieu of the manifest at the time of delivery) for at least 3 years from the date of delivery.
NR 667.0071(3)
(3) Whenever a shipment of hazardous waste is initiated from a facility, the owner or operator of that facility shall comply with the requirements of ch.
NR 662. The department notes that the provisions of s.
NR 662.016 or
662.017 are applicable to the on-site accumulation of hazardous wastes by generators. Therefore, the provisions of s.
NR 662.016 or
662.017 only apply to owners or operators who are shipping hazardous waste which they generated at that facility.
NR 667.0071(4)
(4) As per s.
NR 662.084 (4) (b) 15., within 3 working days of the receipt of a shipment subject to subch.
H of ch. NR 662, the owner or operator of the facility shall provide a copy of the movement document bearing all required signatures to the foreign exporter, to the competent authorities of the countries of export and transit that control the shipment as an export and transit shipment of hazardous waste respectively, and on or after the electronic import-export reporting compliance date, to EPA electronically using EPA's waste import export tracking system, or its successor system. The original copy of the movement document shall be maintained at the facility for at least 3 years from the date of signature. The owner or operator of a facility may satisfy this recordkeeping requirement by retaining electronically submitted documents in the facility's account on EPA's waste import export tracking system, or its successor system, provided that copies are readily available for viewing and production if requested by an EPA or department inspector. No owner or operator of a facility shall be held liable for the inability to produce the documents for inspection under this section if the owner or operator of a facility can demonstrate that the inability to produce the document is due exclusively to technical difficulty with EPA's waste import export tracking system, or its successor system, for which the owner or operator of a facility bears no responsibility.

Manifest discrepancies are differences 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. Significant discrepancies in quantity are:
NR 667.0072(1)(b)
(b) 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 667.0072(2)
(2) Upon discovering a significant discrepancy, the owner or operator shall attempt to reconcile the discrepancy with the waste generator or transporter (for example, with telephone conversations). If the discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after receiving the waste, the owner or operator shall immediately submit a letter to the department describing the discrepancy and attempts to reconcile it and a copy of the manifest or shipping paper at issue.

NR 667.0112(2)(d)
(d) A detailed description of the steps necessary to remove or decontaminate all hazardous waste residues and contaminated containment system components, equipment, structures, and soils during partial or final closure. These steps may include procedures for cleaning equipment and removing contaminated soils, methods for sampling and testing surrounding soils, and criteria for determining the extent of decontamination required to satisfy the closure performance standards.
