NR 661.0010(1)(a)2. 2. Pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when it is improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of or otherwise managed.
NR 661.0010(1)(b) (b) The characteristic can be any of the following:
NR 661.0010(1)(b)1. 1. Measured by an available standardized test method which is reasonably within the capability of generators of solid waste or private sector laboratories that are available to serve generators of solid waste.

NR 661.0010 History History: CR 19-082: cr. Register August 2020 No. 776, eff. 9-1-20.
NR 661.0011 NR 661.0011Criteria for listing hazardous waste.
NR 661.0011(1)(1)The department shall list a solid waste as a hazardous waste only upon determining that the solid waste meets one of the following criteria:

NR 661.0011(1)(b) (b) It has been found to be fatal to humans in low doses or, in the absence of data on human toxicity, it has been shown in studies to have an oral LD 50 toxicity measured in rats of less than 50 milligrams per kilogram, an inhalation LC 50 toxicity measured in rats of less than 2 milligrams per liter, or a dermal LD 50 toxicity in rabbits of less than 200 milligrams per kilogram or is otherwise capable of causing or significantly contributing to an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness. Waste listed in accordance with these criteria will be designated acute hazardous waste.
NR 661.0011(1)(c) (c) It contains any of the toxic constituents listed in ch. NR 661 Appendix VIII and, after considering the following factors, the department concludes that the waste is capable of posing a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported or disposed of, or otherwise managed:
NR 661.0011(1)(c)1. 1. The nature of the toxicity presented by the constituent.
NR 661.0011(1)(c)2. 2. The concentration of the constituent in the waste.
NR 661.0011(1)(c)3. 3. The potential of the constituent or any toxic degradation product of the constituent to migrate from the waste into the environment under the types of improper management considered in subd. 7.
NR 661.0011(1)(c)4. 4. The persistence of the constituent or any toxic degradation product of the constituent.
NR 661.0011(1)(c)5. 5. The potential for the constituent or any toxic degradation product of the constituent to degrade into non-harmful constituents and the rate of degradation.
NR 661.0011(1)(c)6. 6. The degree to which the constituent or any degradation product of the constituent bioaccumulates in ecosystems.
