NR 666.100(4)(b)(b) A hazardous waste meeting either of the following criteria is not processed solely for metal recovery:
NR 666.100(4)(b)1.1. The hazardous waste has a total concentration of organic compounds listed in ch. NR 661 Appendix VIII, exceeding 500 ppm by weight, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned for destruction. The concentration of organic compounds in a waste as-generated may be reduced to the 500 ppm limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. Blending for dilution to meet the 500 ppm limit is prohibited and documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly diluted shall be retained in the records required by par.(a)3.
NR 666.100(4)(b)2.2. The hazardous waste has a heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb or more, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned as fuel. The heating value of a waste as-generated may be reduced to below the 5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. Blending for dilution to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited and documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly diluted shall be retained in the records required by par. (a) 3.
NR 666.100(4)(c)(c) To be exempt from ss.

NR 666.100(4)(c)1.c.c. The waste is not a hazardous waste listed in subch. D of ch. NR 661 because it is listed for an organic constituent as identified in ch. NR 661 Appendix VII.
NR 666.100(4)(c)1.d.d. The owner or operator certifies in the one-time notice that hazardous waste is burned under this paragraph and that sampling and analysis will be conducted or other information will be obtained as necessary to ensure continued compliance with these requirements. Sampling and analysis shall be conducted according to par. (a) 2. and records to document compliance with this paragraph shall be kept for at least 3 years.
NR 666.100(4)(c)2.2. The department may decide on a case-by-case basis that the toxic organic constituents in a material listed in ch. NR 666 Appendix XI, ch. NR 666 Appendix XII, or ch. NR 666 Appendix XIII that contains a total concentration of more than 500 ppm toxic organic compounds listed in ch. NR 661 Appendix VIII may pose a hazard to human health and the environment when burned in a metal recovery furnace exempt from this subchapter. In that situation, after adequate notice and opportunity for comment, the metal recovery furnace shall become subject to this subchapter when burning that material. In making the hazard determination, the department will consider all of the following factors:
NR 666.100(4)(c)2.a.a. The concentration and toxicity of organic constituents in the material.
NR 666.100(4)(c)2.b.b. The level of destruction of toxic organic constituents provided by the furnace.
