NR 667.0195 What are the secondary containment requirements? To prevent the release of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents to the environment, provide secondary containment that meets the requirements of this section for all new and existing tank systems.
NR 667.0195(1)(a)
(a) Designed, installed and operated to prevent any migration of wastes or accumulated liquid out of the system to the soil, groundwater, or surface water at any time during the use of the tank system.
NR 667.0195(1)(b)
(b) Capable of detecting and collecting releases and accumulated liquids until the collected material is removed.
NR 667.0195(2)
(2) To meet the requirements of sub.
(1), secondary containment systems shall be, at a minimum:
NR 667.0195(2)(a)
(a) Constructed of or lined with materials that are compatible with the waste or wastes to be placed in the tank system and shall have sufficient strength and thickness to prevent failure owing to pressure gradients (including static head and external hydrological forces), physical contact with the waste to which it is exposed, climatic conditions and the stress of daily operation (including stresses from nearby vehicular traffic).
NR 667.0195(2)(b)
(b) Placed on a foundation or base capable of providing support to the secondary containment system, resistance to pressure gradients above and below the system and capable of preventing failure due to settlement, compression, or uplift.
NR 667.0195(2)(c)
(c) Provided with a leak-detection system that is designed and operated so that it will detect the failure of either the primary or secondary containment structure or the presence of any release of hazardous waste or accumulated liquid in the secondary containment system within 24 hours.
NR 667.0195(2)(d)
(d) Sloped or otherwise designed or operated to drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks, spills, or precipitation. Remove spilled or leaked waste and accumulated precipitation from the secondary containment system within 24 hours, or as promptly as possible, to prevent harm to human health and the environment.

The additional capacity shall be sufficient to contain precipitation from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event.
NR 667.0196(2)(d)
(d) Designed and installed to surround the tank completely and to cover all surrounding earth likely to come into contact with the waste if the waste is released from the tank or tanks (that is, capable of preventing lateral as well as vertical migration of the waste).
NR 667.0196(3)(a)
(a) Designed as an integral structure (that is, an inner tank completely enveloped within an outer shell) so that any release from the inner tank is contained by the outer shell.
NR 667.0196(3)(b)
