NR 662.013(4)(c)(c) Hazardous waste spent materials that are generated, reclaimed, and subsequently reused on-site, so long as the spent materials were previously counted once. NR 662.013(5)(5) Generator category. Based on the generator category as determined under this section, the generator shall meet the applicable independent requirements listed in s. NR 662.010. A generator’s category also determines which of the provisions specified in s. NR 662.014, 662.015, 662.016, or 662.017 shall be met to obtain an exemption from the storage facility license, interim status, and operating requirements when accumulating hazardous waste. NR 662.013(6)(a)1.1. Hazardous wastes generated by a very small quantity generator may, as part of a treatment process, be mixed with solid wastes. A very small quantity generator may, as part of a treatment process, mix a portion or all of its hazardous waste with solid waste and remain subject to s. NR 662.014 even though the resultant mixture exceeds the quantity limits identified in the definition of very small quantity generator under s. NR 660.10 (139), unless the mixture exhibits one or more of the characteristics of hazardous waste identified in subch. C of ch. NR 661. Legitimate treatment processes include the following examples: stabilization and solidification, polymerization, electrochemical oxidation of organic chemicals, elementary neutralization, and precipitating heavy metals out of solution. NR 662.013 NoteNote: The mixing of hazardous waste by a very small quantity generator into a disposal container, such as a roll off box containing solid wastes, is not considered a treatment process.
NR 662.013(6)(a)2.2. If the resulting mixture exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste, this resultant mixture is a newly generated hazardous waste. The very small quantity generator shall count both the resultant mixture amount plus the other hazardous waste generated in the calendar month to determine whether the total quantity exceeds the very small quantity generator calendar month quantity limits identified in the definition of generator categories under s. NR 660.10. If so, to remain exempt from the permitting, interim status, and operating standards, the very small quantity generator shall meet the conditions for exemption applicable to either a small quantity generator or a large quantity generator. The very small quantity generator shall also comply with the applicable independent requirements for either a small quantity generator or a large quantity generator. NR 662.013(6)(a)3.3. If a very small quantity generator’s wastes are mixed with used oil, the mixture is subject to ch. NR 679. Any material produced from such a mixture by processing, blending, or other treatment is also regulated under ch. NR 679. NR 662.013(6)(b)(b) Small quantity generator and large quantity generator wastes. NR 662.013(6)(b)1.1. Hazardous wastes generated by a small quantity generator or large quantity generator may be mixed with solid waste. These mixtures are subject to the following: the mixture rule specified in s. NR 661.0003 (1) (b) 4., (2) (b) and (c), and (7) (b) 1.; the prohibition of dilution rule specified in s. NR 668.03 (1); the land disposal restriction requirements specified in s. NR 668.40 if a characteristic hazardous waste is mixed with a solid waste so that it no longer exhibits the hazardous characteristic; and the hazardous waste determination requirement specified in s. NR 662.011. NR 662.013(6)(b)2.2. If the resulting mixture is found to be a hazardous waste, this resultant mixture is a newly generated hazardous waste. A small quantity generator shall count both the resultant mixture amount plus the other hazardous waste generated in the calendar month to determine whether the total quantity exceeds the small quantity generator calendar monthly quantity limits identified in the definition of generator categories under s. NR 660.10. If so, to remain exempt from the permitting, interim status, and operating standards, the small quantity generator shall meet the conditions for exemption applicable to a large quantity generator. The small quantity generator shall also comply with the applicable independent requirements for a large quantity generator. NR 662.013 HistoryHistory: CR 19-082: cr.
