NR 516.09(1)(a)3. 3. Features that are temporary and will be removed within 2 years, including intermediate cover.
NR 516.09(1)(a)4. 4. Leachate or gas well installation, or leachate recirculation systems.
NR 516.09(1)(a)5. 5. Replacement of damaged or nonfunctional features of gas extraction systems or leachate head wells that do not involve significant changes in design, location or materials of construction.
NR 516.09(1)(a)6. 6. Portions of the final capping system that would not result in a reduced amount of financial assurance.
NR 516.09(1)(a)7. 7. Except as provided under par. (b), other features determined by the department to pose low potential risk of adverse impacts on public health or the environment in the event of improper construction or failure of the constructed feature.
NR 516.09(1)(b) (b) This section does not apply to approval of construction of any of the following:
NR 516.09(1)(b)1. 1. Liners, leachate collection pipes within the landfill or any other component that would require removal of waste to complete future reconstruction of the component, because this is not considered low risk.
NR 516.09(1)(b)2. 2. Any component for which improper construction or failure of the component could result in leachate being released outside the limits of waste fill, because this is not considered low risk, except that approval of construction documentation for the repair of existing components may be submitted under this section.
NR 516.09(1)(b)3. 3. Any portion of the final capping system that would result in a reduced amount of financial assurance.
NR 516.09(1)(b)4. 4. Any component or feature that would result in a violation of the approved plan of operation.
NR 516.09(2) (2) Procedure. A construction documentation report is deemed approved if all of the following occur:

NR 516.09(2)(b) (b) Either the department does not object to the construction documentation within 30 days after receipt of the notice under par.
