NR 664.0001(10)(d) (d) Inspect the remediation waste management site for malfunctions, deterioration, operator errors and discharges that may be causing, or may lead to, a release of hazardous waste constituents to the environment, or a threat to human health. The owner or operator shall conduct these inspections often enough to identify problems in time to correct them before they harm human health or the environment, and shall remedy the problem before it leads to a human health or environmental hazard.

NR 664.0221 (3) and (4), 664.0251 (3) and (4) and 664.0301 (3) and (4) at the remediation waste management site, according to the requirements of s. NR 664.0019.
NR 664.0001(10)(j) (j) Develop and maintain procedures to prevent accidents and a contingency and emergency plan to control accidents that occur. These procedures shall address proper design, construction, maintenance and operation of remediation waste management units at the site. The goal of the plan shall be to minimize the possibility of, and the hazards from a fire, explosion or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil or surface water that could threaten human health or the environment. The plan shall explain specifically how to treat, store and dispose of the hazardous remediation waste in question, and shall be implemented immediately whenever a fire, explosion or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents which could threaten human health or the environment occurs.
NR 664.0001(10)(k) (k) Designate at least one employee, either on the facility premises or on call (that is, available to respond to an emergency by reaching the facility quickly), to coordinate all emergency response measures. This emergency coordinator shall be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the facility's contingency plan, all operations and activities at the facility, the location and characteristics of waste handled, the location of all records within the facility, and the facility layout. In addition, this person shall have the authority to commit the resources needed to carry out the contingency plan.
NR 664.0001(10)(L) (L) Develop, maintain and implement a plan to meet the requirements in pars. (b) to (f), (i) and (j).
