subch. D of ch. NR 668Subchapter D — Treatment Standards
NR 668.40NR 668.40Applicability of treatment standards.
NR 668.40(1)(1)A prohibited waste identified in the table “Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes” in this section may be land disposed only if it meets the requirements found in the table. For each waste, the table identifies one of the following three types of treatment standard requirements:
NR 668.40(1)(a)(a) All hazardous constituents in the waste or in the treatment residue shall be at or below the values found for that waste in the table under the heading “total waste standards”.
NR 668.40(1)(b)(b) The hazardous constituents in the extract of the waste or in the extract of the treatment residue shall be at or below the values found in the table under the heading, “waste extract standards”.
NR 668.40(1)(c)(c) The waste shall be treated using the technology specified in the table under the heading “technology standard”, and described in detail in s. NR 668.42, Table 1—Technology Codes and Description of Technology-Based Standards.
NR 668.40(2)(2)For wastewaters, compliance with concentration level standards is based on maximums for any one day, except for D004 through D011 wastes for which the previously promulgated treatment standards based on grab samples remain in effect. For all nonwastewaters, compliance with concentration level standards is based on grab sampling. For wastes covered by the waste extract standards, the test method 1311, the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure found in “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods”, EPA SW-846, incorporated by reference in s. NR 660.11 shall be used to measure compliance. An exception is made for D004 and D008, for which either of two test methods may be used: Method 1311 or Method 1310B, the extraction procedure toxicity test. For wastes covered by a technology standard, the wastes may be land disposed after being treated using that specified technology or an equivalent treatment technology approved by the EPA Administrator under the procedures set forth in 40 CFR 268.42(b).
NR 668.40(3)(3)When wastes with differing treatment standards for a constituent of concern are combined for purposes of treatment, the treatment residue shall meet the lowest treatment standard for the constituent of concern.
NR 668.40(4)(4)Notwithstanding the prohibitions specified in sub. (1), treatment and disposal facilities may demonstrate and certify pursuant to s. NR 668.07 (2) (e) compliance with the treatment standards for organic constituents specified by a footnote in the table “Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes” in this section, provided all of the following conditions are satisfied:
NR 668.40(4)(a)(a) The treatment standards for the organic constituents were established based on incineration in units operated in accordance with the technical requirements of subch. O of ch. NR 664, or based on combustion in fuel substitution units operating in accordance with applicable technical requirements.
NR 668.40(4)(b)(b) The treatment or disposal facility has used the methods referenced in par. (a) to treat the organic constituents.
