NR 664.0252(1)(1) The department shall approve an action leakage rate for waste pile units subject to s. NR 664.0251 (3) or (4). The action leakage rate is the maximum design flow rate that the leak detection system can remove without the fluid head on the bottom liner exceeding one foot. The action leakage rate shall include an adequate safety margin to allow for uncertainties in the design (e.g., slope, hydraulic conductivity, thickness of drainage material), construction, operation and location of the leak detection system, waste and leachate characteristics, likelihood and amounts of other sources of liquids in the leak detection system and proposed response actions (e.g., the action leakage rate shall consider decreases in the flow capacity of the system over time resulting from siltation and clogging, rib layover and creep of synthetic components of the system, overburden pressures, etc.). NR 664.0252(2)(2) To determine if the action leakage rate has been exceeded, the owner or operator shall convert the weekly flow rate from the monitoring data obtained under s. NR 664.0254 (3), to an average daily flow rate (gallons per acre per day) for each sump. Unless the department approves a different calculation, the average daily flow rate for each sump shall be calculated weekly during the active life and closure period.

NR 664.0251 (3) or (4) shall have an approved response action plan before receipt of waste. The response action plan shall set forth the actions to be taken if the action leakage rate has been exceeded. At a minimum, the response action plan shall describe the actions specified in sub. (2). NR 664.0253(2)(2) If the flow rate into the leak detection system exceeds the action leakage rate for any sump, the owner or operator shall do all of the following: NR 664.0253(2)(a)(a) Notify the department in writing of the exceedance within 7 days of the determination. NR 664.0253(2)(b)(b) Submit a preliminary written assessment to the department within 14 days of the determination, as to the amount of liquids, likely sources of liquids, possible location, size and cause of any leaks and short-term actions taken and planned. NR 664.0253(2)(c)(c) Determine to the extent practicable the location, size and cause of any leak. NR 664.0253(2)(d)(d) Determine whether waste receipt should cease or be curtailed, whether any waste should be removed from the unit for inspection, repairs or controls and whether or not the unit should be closed. NR 664.0253(2)(e)(e) Determine any other short-term and long-term actions to be taken to mitigate or stop any leaks. NR 664.0253(2)(f)(f) Within 30 days after the notification that the action leakage rate has been exceeded, submit to the department the results of the analyses specified in pars. (c), (d) and (e), the results of actions taken and actions planned. Monthly thereafter, as long as the flow rate in the leak detection system exceeds the action leakage rate, the owner or operator shall submit to the department a report summarizing the results of any remedial actions taken and actions planned. NR 664.0253(3)(a)2.2. Conduct a fingerprint, hazardous constituent or other analyses of the liquids in the leak detection system to identify the source of liquids and possible location of any leaks, and the hazard and mobility of the liquid. NR 664.0253(3)(a)3.3. Assess the seriousness of any leaks in terms of potential for escaping into the environment. NR 664.0253 HistoryHistory: CR 05-032: cr. Register July 2006 No. 607, eff. 8-1-06.

Both of the following inspections are required immediately after construction or installation: NR 664.0254(1)(a)(a) Synthetic liners and covers shall be inspected to ensure tight seams and joints and the absence of tears, punctures or blisters. NR 664.0254(1)(b)(b) Soil-based and admixed liners and covers shall be inspected for imperfections including lenses, cracks, channels, root holes or other structural non-uniformities that may cause an increase in the permeability of the liner or cover. NR 664.0254(2)(2) While a waste pile is in operation, it shall be inspected weekly and after storms to detect evidence of any of the following: NR 664.0254(2)(a)(a) Deterioration, malfunctions or improper operation of run-on and run-off control systems. NR 664.0254(2)(b)(b) Proper functioning of wind dispersal control systems, where present.

NR 664.0301(1)(1) Any landfill that is not covered by sub. (3) or s. NR 665.0301 (1) shall have a liner system for all portions of the landfill (except for existing portions of the landfill). The liner system shall have both of the following: NR 664.0301(1)(a)(a) A liner that is designed, constructed and installed to prevent any migration of wastes out of the landfill to the adjacent subsurface soil or groundwater or surface water at any time during the active life (including the closure period) of the landfill. The liner shall be constructed of materials that prevent wastes from passing into the liner during the active life of the facility. The liner shall be all of the following: NR 664.0301(1)(a)1.1. Constructed of materials that have appropriate chemical properties and sufficient strength and thickness to prevent failure due to pressure gradients (including static head and external hydrogeologic forces), physical contact with the waste or leachate to which they are exposed, climatic conditions, the stress of installation and the stress of daily operation. NR 664.0301(1)(a)2.2. Placed upon a foundation or base capable of providing support to the liner and resistance to pressure gradients above and below the liner to prevent failure of the liner due to settlement, compression or uplift. NR 664.0301(1)(a)3.3. Installed to cover all surrounding earth likely to be in contact with the waste or leachate. NR 664.0301(1)(b)(b) A leachate collection and removal system immediately above the liner that is designed, constructed, maintained and operated to collect and remove leachate from the landfill. The department shall specify design and operating conditions in the operating license to ensure that the leachate depth over the liner does not exceed 30 cm (one foot). The leachate collection and removal system shall be both of the following: NR 664.0301(1)(b)1.a.a. Chemically resistant to the waste managed in the landfill and the leachate expected to be generated. NR 664.0301(1)(b)1.b.b. Of sufficient strength and thickness to prevent collapse under the pressures exerted by overlying wastes, waste cover materials and any equipment used at the landfill. NR 664.0301(1)(b)2.2. Designed and operated to function without clogging through the scheduled closure of the landfill. NR 664.0301(2)(2) The owner or operator will be exempted from the requirements of sub. (1) if the department finds, based on a demonstration by the owner or operator, that alternative design and operating practices, together with location characteristics, will prevent the migration of any hazardous constituents (see s. NR 664.0093) into the groundwater or surface water at any future time. In deciding whether to grant an exemption, the department will consider all of the following: NR 664.0301(2)(c)(c) The hydrogeologic setting of the facility, including the attenuative capacity and thickness of the liners and soils present between the landfill and groundwater or surface water. NR 664.0301(2)(d)(d) All other factors which would influence the quality and mobility of the leachate produced and the potential for it to migrate to groundwater or surface water. NR 664.0301(3)(3) The owner or operator of each new landfill unit on which construction commences after June 1, 1995, each lateral expansion of a landfill unit on which construction commences after June 1, 1995, and each replacement of an existing landfill unit that is to commence reuse after June 1, 1995 shall install 2 or more liners and a leachate collection and removal system above and between the liners. “Construction commences” is as defined in s. NR 660.10 under “existing facility”.
