NR 233.02 HistoryHistory: Cr. Register, March, 1997, No. 495, eff. 4-1-97.
NR 233.03NR 233.03 General definitions. In addition to the definitions in ss. NR 205.03, 205.04 and 211.03, the following definitions apply to the terms used in this chapter:

NR 233.03(1e)(1e) “Appropriate pollution control technology” means the wastewater treatment technology listed in Table 10 for a particular pesticide active ingredient including an emulsion breaking step prior to the listed technology when emulsions are present in the wastewater to be treated.
NR 233.03(1o)(1o) “Equivalent system” means a wastewater treatment system that is demonstrated in literature, treatability tests, or self-monitoring data to remove a similar level of pesticide active ingredient or priority pollutant as the applicable appropriate pollution control technology listed in Table 10.
