NR 668.40NR 668.40 Applicability of treatment standards. NR 668.40(1)(1) A prohibited waste identified in the table “Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes” in this section may be land disposed only if it meets the requirements found in the table. For each waste, the table identifies one of the following three types of treatment standard requirements: NR 668.40(1)(a)(a) All hazardous constituents in the waste or in the treatment residue shall be at or below the values found for that waste in the table under the heading “total waste standards”. NR 668.40(1)(b)(b) The hazardous constituents in the extract of the waste or in the extract of the treatment residue shall be at or below the values found in the table under the heading, “waste extract standards”. NR 668.40(1)(c)(c) The waste shall be treated using the technology specified in the table under the heading “technology standard”, and described in detail in s. NR 668.42, Table 1—Technology Codes and Description of Technology-Based Standards. NR 668.40(2)(2) For wastewaters, compliance with concentration level standards is based on maximums for any one day, except for D004 through D011 wastes for which the previously promulgated treatment standards based on grab samples remain in effect. For all nonwastewaters, compliance with concentration level standards is based on grab sampling. For wastes covered by the waste extract standards, the test method 1311, the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure found in “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods”, EPA SW-846, incorporated by reference in s. NR 660.11 shall be used to measure compliance. An exception is made for D004 and D008, for which either of two test methods may be used: Method 1311 or Method 1310B, the extraction procedure toxicity test. For wastes covered by a technology standard, the wastes may be land disposed after being treated using that specified technology or an equivalent treatment technology approved by the EPA Administrator under the procedures set forth in 40 CFR 268.42(b). NR 668.40(3)(3) When wastes with differing treatment standards for a constituent of concern are combined for purposes of treatment, the treatment residue shall meet the lowest treatment standard for the constituent of concern. NR 668.40(4)(4) Notwithstanding the prohibitions specified in sub. (1), treatment and disposal facilities may demonstrate and certify pursuant to s. NR 668.07 (2) (e) compliance with the treatment standards for organic constituents specified by a footnote in the table “Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes” in this section, provided all of the following conditions are satisfied: NR 668.40(4)(a)(a) The treatment standards for the organic constituents were established based on incineration in units operated in accordance with the technical requirements of subch. O of ch. NR 664, or based on combustion in fuel substitution units operating in accordance with applicable technical requirements. NR 668.40(4)(b)(b) The treatment or disposal facility has used the methods referenced in par. (a) to treat the organic constituents. NR 668.40(4)(c)(c) The treatment or disposal facility may demonstrate compliance with organic constituents if good-faith analytical efforts achieve detection limits for the regulated organic constituents that do not exceed the treatment standards specified in this section by an order of magnitude. NR 668.40(5)(5) For characteristic wastes (D001 to D043) that are subject to treatment standards in the table “Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes,” and are not managed in a wastewater treatment system that is regulated under ch. 283, Stats., or that is CWA-equivalent, all underlying hazardous constituents as defined in s. NR 668.02 (9) must meet universal treatment standards, found in s. NR 668.48, Table Universal Treatment Standards, prior to land disposal as defined in s. NR 668.02 (3). NR 668.40(6)(6) The treatment standards for F001 to F005 nonwastewater constituents carbon disulfide, cyclohexanone, and methanol apply to wastes which contain only one, 2, or 3 of these constituents. Compliance is measured for these constituents in the waste extract from test Method 1311, the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure found in “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods”, EPA SW-846, incorporated by reference in s. NR 660.11. If the waste contains any of these three constituents along with any of the other 25 constituents found in F001 to F005, then compliance with treatment standards for carbon disulfide, cyclohexanone, and methanol are not required. NR 668.40(7)(7) Between August 26, 1996 and March 4, 1999 the treatment standards for the wastes specified in s. NR 661.0032 as EPA hazardous waste numbers K156 to K161 and in s. NR 661.0033 as EPA hazardous waste numbers P127, P128, P185, P188 to P192, P194, P196 to P199, P201 to P205, U271, U277 to U280, U364 to U367, U372, U373, U375 to U379, U381 to U387, U389 to U396, U400 to U404, U407, and U409 to U411; and soil contaminated with these wastes; shall be satisfied by either meeting the constituent concentrations presented in the table “Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes” in this section, or by treating the waste by the following technologies: combustion, as defined by the technology code CMBST at s. NR 668.42, Table 1, for nonwastewaters; and, biodegradation as defined by the technology code BIODG, carbon adsorption as defined by the technology code CARBN; chemical oxidation as defined by the technology code CHOXD; or combustion as defined as technology code CMBST at s. NR 668.42, Table 1, for wastewaters. NR 668.40(8)(8) If prohibited D004 to D011 mixed radioactive wastes and mixed radioactive listed wastes containing metal constituents, have been previously treated by stabilization to the treatment standards in effect at that time and put into storage afterwards, then it is not necessary to re-treat the waste to meet treatment standards in this section prior to land disposal. NR 668.40(10)(10) Effective September 4, 1998, the treatment standards for the wastes specified in s. NR 661.0033 as EPA hazardous waste numbers P185, P191, P192, P197, U364, U394, and U395 shall be satisfied by either meeting the constituent concentrations presented in the table “Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes” in this section, or by treating the waste by the following technologies: combustion, as defined by the technology code CMBST at s. NR 668.42, Table 1, for nonwastewaters; biodegradation as defined by the technology code BIODG; carbon adsorption as defined by the technology code CARBN; chemical oxidation as defined by the technology code CHOXD; or combustion as defined as technology code CMBST at s.

NR 668.42 NoteNote: When more than one technology (or treatment train) are specified as alternative treatment standards, the 5 letter technology codes (or the treatment trains) are separated by a semicolon (;) with the last technology preceded by the word “OR”. This indicates that any one of these BDAT technologies or treatment trains can be used for compliance with the standard.
NR 668.42(2)(2) Any person may submit an application to the EPA Administrator demonstrating that an alternative treatment method can achieve a measure of performance equivalent to that achieved by methods specified in subs. (1), (3) and (4) for wastes, or specified in Table 1 for hazardous debris. The applicant shall submit information demonstrating that the treatment method is in compliance with federal, state and local requirements and is protective of human health and the environment. On the basis of this information and any other available information, the EPA Administrator may approve the use of the alternative treatment method if the EPA Administrator finds that the alternative treatment method provides a measure of performance equivalent to that achieved by methods specified in subs. (1), (3) and (4) for wastes or in s. NR 668.45, Table 1 for hazardous debris. The department shall accept any written determination issued by the EPA Administrator unless the department determines that the approved alternative method cannot achieve a measure of performance equivalent to that achieved by methods specified in subs.

Where there is no specific treatment standard for radioactive mixed waste, the treatment standard for the hazardous waste, as designated by EPA waste code, applies.
