NR 661.0003(1)(a) (a) It is not excluded from regulation as a hazardous waste under s. NR 661.0004 (2).

NR 661.0003(1)(b) (b) It meets any of the following criteria:

NR 661.0003(1)(b)1. 1. It exhibits any of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in subch. C. However, any mixture of a waste from the extraction, beneficiation, and processing of ores and minerals excluded under s. NR 661.0004 (2) (g) and any other solid waste exhibiting a characteristic of hazardous waste under subch. C is a hazardous waste only if it exhibits a characteristic that would not have been exhibited by the excluded waste alone if such mixture had not occurred, or if it continues to exhibit any of the characteristics exhibited by the non-excluded wastes prior to mixture. Further, for the purposes of applying the Toxicity Characteristic to such mixtures, the mixture is also a hazardous waste if it exceeds the maximum concentration for any contaminant listed in Table 2 of s. NR 661.0024 that would not have been exceeded by the excluded waste alone if the mixture had not occurred or if it continues to exceed the maximum concentration for any contaminant exceeded by the nonexempt waste prior to mixture.

NR 661.0003(1)(b)2. 2. It is listed in subch. D and has not been excluded from the lists in subch. D under ss. NR 660.20 and 660.22.

NR 661.0003(1)(b)4. 4. It is a mixture of solid waste and one or more hazardous wastes listed in subch. D and has not been excluded from this paragraph under ss. NR 660.20 and 660.22, or sub. (7) or (8); however, the following mixtures of solid wastes and hazardous wastes listed in subch. D are not hazardous wastes (except by application of subd. 1. or 2.) if the generator can demonstrate that the mixture consists of wastewater discharge subject to regulation under either s. 283.21 (2), 283.31 or 283.33, Stats., (including wastewater at facilities that have eliminated the discharge of wastewater) and one of the following:

NR 661.0003(1)(b)4.a. a. One or more of the following spent solvents listed in s. NR 661.0031: benzene, carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene or the scrubber waters derived from the combustion of these spent solvents, provided, that the maximum total weekly usage of these solvents, other than the amounts that can be demonstrated not to be discharged to wastewater, divided by the average weekly flow of wastewater into the headworks of the facility’s wastewater treatment or pretreatment system does not exceed one part per million, or the total measured concentration of these solvents entering the headworks of the facility’s wastewater treatment system, at facilities subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act, as amended, at 40 CFR part 60, 61, or 63, or subject to ch. NR 440, subchs. III and IV of ch. NR 446, or chs. NR 447 to 469, or at facilities subject to an enforceable limit in a federal operating permit that minimizes fugitive emissions, does not exceed one part per million on an average weekly basis. Any facility that uses benzene as a solvent and claims this exemption shall use an aerated biological wastewater treatment system and shall use only lined surface impoundments or tanks prior to secondary clarification in the wastewater treatment system. Facilities that choose to measure concentration levels shall file a copy of their sampling and analysis plan with the department. A facility shall file a copy of a revised sampling and analysis plan only if the initial plan is rendered inaccurate by changes in the facility’s operations. The sampling and analysis plan shall include the monitoring point location, headworks, the sampling frequency and methodology, and a list of constituents to be monitored. A facility is eligible for the direct monitoring option once they receive confirmation that the sampling and analysis plan has been received by the department. The department may reject the sampling and analysis plan if the department finds that the sampling and analysis plan fails to include the above information, or the plan parameters would not enable the facility to calculate the weekly average concentration of these chemicals accurately. If the department rejects the sampling and analysis plan or if the department finds that the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the department shall notify the facility to cease the use of the direct monitoring option until the bases for rejection are corrected.

NR 661.0003(1)(b)4.b. b. One or more of the following spent solvents listed in s. NR 661.0031: methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, cresols, cresylic acid, nitrobenzene, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon disulfide, isobutanol, pyridine, spent chlorofluorocarbon solvents, 2-ethoxyethanol, or the scrubber waters derived from the combustion of these spent solvents, provided that the maximum total weekly usage of these solvents, other than the amounts that can be demonstrated not to be discharged to wastewater, divided by the average weekly flow of wastewater into the headworks of the facility’s wastewater treatment or pretreatment system does not exceed 25 parts per million, or the total measured concentration of these solvents entering the headworks of the facility’s wastewater treatment system, at facilities subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act as amended, at 40 CFR part 60, 61, or 63, or subject to ch. NR 440, subchs. III and IV of ch. NR 446, or chs. NR 447 to 469 or at facilities subject to an enforceable limit in a federal operating permit that minimizes fugitive emissions, does not exceed 25 parts per million on an average weekly basis. Facilities that choose to measure concentration levels shall file a copy of their sampling and analysis plan with the department. A facility shall file a copy of a revised sampling and analysis plan only if the initial plan is rendered inaccurate by changes in the facility’s operations. The sampling and analysis plan shall include the monitoring point location, headworks, the sampling frequency and methodology, and a list of constituents to be monitored. A facility is eligible for the direct monitoring option once it receives confirmation that the sampling and analysis plan has been received by the department. The department may reject the sampling and analysis plan if the department finds that the sampling and analysis plan fails to include the above information, or the plan parameters would not enable the facility to calculate the weekly average concentration of these chemicals accurately. If the department rejects the sampling and analysis plan or if the department finds that the facility is not following the sampling and analysis plan, the department shall notify the facility to cease the use of the direct monitoring option until the bases for rejection are corrected.
