NR 664.0302(1)(1) The department shall approve an action leakage rate for landfill units subject to s. NR 664.0301 (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 664.0302(2)(2) To determine if the action leakage rate has been exceeded, the owner or operator shall convert the weekly or monthly flow rate from the monitoring data obtained under s. NR 664.0303 (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, and monthly during the long-term care period when monthly monitoring is required under s. NR 664.0303 (3). NR 664.0302 HistoryHistory: CR 05-032: cr. Register July 2006 No. 607, eff. 8-1-06.

NR 664.0303(2)(2) While a landfill is in operation, it shall be inspected weekly and after storms to detect evidence of any of the following: NR 664.0303(2)(a)(a) Deterioration, malfunctions or improper operation of run-on and run-off control systems. NR 664.0303(2)(b)(b) Proper functioning of wind dispersal control systems, where present. NR 664.0303(2)(c)(c) The presence of leachate in and proper functioning of leachate collection and removal systems, where present. NR 664.0303(3)(a)(a) An owner or operator required to have a leak detection system under s. NR 664.0301 (3) or (4) shall record the amount of liquids removed from each leak detection system sump at least once each week during the active life and closure period. NR 664.0303(3)(b)(b) After the final cover is installed, the amount of liquids removed from each leak detection system sump shall be recorded at least monthly. If the liquid level in the sump stays below the pump operating level for 2 consecutive months, the amount of liquids in the sumps shall be recorded at least quarterly. If the liquid level in the sump stays below the pump operating level for 2 consecutive quarters, the amount of liquids in the sumps shall be recorded at least semi-annually. If at any time during the long-term care period the pump operating level is exceeded at units on quarterly or semi-annual recording schedules, the owner or operator shall return to monthly recording of amounts of liquids removed from each sump until the liquid level again stays below the pump operating level for 2 consecutive months. NR 664.0303(3)(c)(c) “Pump operating level” is a liquid level proposed by the owner or operator and approved by the department based on pump activation level, sump dimensions and level that avoids backup into the drainage layer and minimizes head in the sump.
