NR 663.30 Immediate action. NR 663.31 Discharge clean up. Subch. A of ch. NR 663 NoteNote: Chapter NR 662 and this chapter establish the responsibilities of generators and transporters of hazardous waste in the handling, transportation and management of that waste. In these rules, the department has expressly referenced certain regulations of the U.S. department of transportation (DOT) governing the transportation of hazardous materials. These rules concern, among other things, labeling, marking, placarding, using proper containers and reporting discharges. The department has expressly referenced these rules in order to satisfy its statutory obligation to promulgate rules that are necessary to protect human health and the environment in the transportation of hazardous waste. The department’s reference to these DOT regulations ensures consistency with the requirements of DOT and thus avoids the establishment of duplicative or conflicting requirements with respect to these matters. Subch. A of ch. NR 663 NoteDOT has revised its hazardous materials transportation regulations in order to encompass the transportation of hazardous waste and to regulate intrastate, as well as interstate, transportation of hazardous waste. Transporters of hazardous waste are cautioned that DOT’s regulations are fully applicable to their activities and enforceable by DOT. These DOT regulations are codified in 49 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter I, Subchapter C.
