3. When treatment of any constituent subject to treatment to a 90% reduction standard would result in a concentration less than 10 times the universal treatment standard for that constituent, then treatment to achieve constituent concentrations less than 10 times the universal treatment standard is not required. Universal treatment standards are identified in s.

(a), prior to land disposal, soils that exhibit the characteristic of ignitability, corrosivity or reactivity shall be treated to eliminate these characteristics.

(c)
Soils that contain nonanalyzable constituents. In addition to the treatment requirements of pars.
(a) and
(b), prior to land disposal, the following treatment is required for soils that contain nonanalyzable constituents:

1. For soil that contains only analyzable and nonanalyzable organic constituents, the analyzable organic constituents shall be treated to the levels specified in pars.
(a) and
(b).

2. Soil that contains only nonanalyzable constituents shall be treated by the method or methods specified in s.
NR 668.42 for the waste contained in the soil.
NR 668.49(4)
(4) When applying the soil treatment standards in sub.
(3), constituents subject to treatment are any constituents listed in s.
NR 668.48, Table UTS that are reasonably expected to be present in any given volume of contaminated soil, except fluoride, selenium, sulfides, vanadium, and zinc, and that are present at concentrations greater than ten times the universal treatment standard. PCBs are not a constituent subject to treatment in any given volume of soil which exhibits the toxicity characteristic solely because of the presence of metals.
NR 668.49(5)
(5) Treatment residuals from treating contaminated soil identified by sub.
(1) as needing to comply with LDRs shall be managed as follows:
NR 668.49(5)(a)
(a) Soil residuals are subject to the treatment standards of this section.
NR 668.49(5)(b)
(b) Non-soil residuals are subject to all of the following requirements:
NR 668.49(5)(b)1.
1. Soils contaminated by listed hazardous waste are subject to the standards applicable to the listed hazardous waste under ch.
291, Stats., and chs.
NR 660 to
673.
NR 668.49(5)(b)2.
2. Soils that exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste, if the non-soil residual also exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste, are subject to the treatment standards applicable to the characteristic hazardous waste.

NR 668.50 Prohibitions on storage of restricted wastes. NR 668.50(1)(1)
Except as provided in this section, the storage of hazardous wastes restricted from land disposal under this chapter or
42 USC 6924 is prohibited, unless all of the following conditions are met:
NR 668.50(1)(a)
(a) A generator stores the wastes in tanks, containers, or containment buildings on-site solely for the purpose of the accumulation of quantities of hazardous waste necessary to facilitate proper recovery, treatment or disposal, and a generator complies with the requirements in ss.
NR 662.016 and
662.017 and chs.
NR 664 and
665.
NR 668.50(1)(b)
(b) An owner or operator of a hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility stores the wastes in tanks, containers or containment buildings solely for the purpose of the accumulation of quantities of hazardous waste necessary to facilitate proper recovery, treatment or disposal, and all of the following additional conditions are met:
NR 668.50(1)(b)1.
1. Each container is clearly marked to identify its contents and with all of the following:
NR 668.50(1)(b)1.b.
b. The applicable EPA hazardous waste number, EPA hazardous waste codes as specified in subchs.
C and
D of ch. NR 661; or use a nationally recognized electronic system, such as bar coding that identifies the EPA hazardous waste number.
NR 668.50(1)(b)1.c.
c. An indication of the hazards of the contents. Examples to indicate a hazard include the applicable hazardous waste ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic characteristic; hazard communication consistent with the department of transportation requirements under
49 CFR part 172 subpart E on labeling or subpart F on placarding; a hazard statement or pictogram consistent with the occupational safety and health administration hazard communication standard under
