Ch. NR 670 Note Note: This chapter is similar to federal regulations contained in 40 CFR part 270, revised as of July 1, 2003.

subch. A of ch. NR 670 Subchapter A — General Information

NR 670.001 NR 670.001 Purpose and scope of subchs. A to I.

NR 670.001(1) (1) Coverage.

NR 670.001(1)(a) (a) These license rules establish provisions for the hazardous waste facility licensing program under ch. 291.25, Stats.

NR 670.001(1)(b) (b) The rules in this chapter cover basic department licensing requirements, such as license application requirements, standard license conditions, and monitoring and reporting requirements. These rules are part of a regulatory scheme implementing chs. 289 and 291, Stats., set forth in different parts of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. The following chart indicates where the rules implementing ch. 291, Stats., appear in the Wisconsin Administrative Code.

NR 670.001(1)(c) (c) The hazardous waste license program has separate additional regulations that contain technical requirements. These separate regulations are used by the department to determine what requirements shall be placed in licenses if they are issued. These separate regulations are located under chs. NR 664, 666, 667, and 668.

NR 670.001(2) (2) Overview of the hazardous waste license program. Not later than 90 days after the promulgation or revision of rules in ch. NR 661, identifying and listing hazardous wastes, generators, and transporters of hazardous waste, and owners or operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities may be required to file a notification of that activity under s. NR 660.07. Treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste by any person who has not applied for and received a hazardous waste license is prohibited. A license application consists of two parts, part A (see s. NR 670.013) and a feasibility and plan of operation report (see s. NR 670.014 and applicable sections in ss. NR 670.015 to 670.029). Treatment and storage facilities (TSDs) that are otherwise subject to licensing under ch. 291, Stats., and meet the criteria in pars. (a) or (b) may be eligible for a standardized license under subch. J of ch. NR 667. For existing HWM facilities, the requirements to submit a license application is satisfied by submitting only part A until the date the department sets for submitting the feasibility and plan of operation report. Part A consists of Forms 1 and 3 of the EPA Consolidated Permit Application Forms. Timely submission of both notification under s. NR 660.07 and part A qualifies owners and operators of existing HWM facilities (who are required to have a license) for an interim license under s. 291.25, Stats. Facility owners and operators with an interim license are treated as having been issued an operating license until the department makes a final determination on the operating license application. Facility owners and operators with interim licenses shall comply with interim license standards set forth at chs. NR 665 and 666. Facility owners and operators with interim licenses are not relieved from complying with other state requirements. For existing HWM facilities, the department shall set a date, giving at least 6 months notice, for submission of the feasibility and plan of operation report. There is no form for the feasibility and plan of operation report; rather, the report shall be submitted in narrative form and contain the information set forth in ss. NR 670.014 to 670.029. Owners or operators of new HWM facilities shall submit the license application at least 180 days before physical construction is expected to commence.

NR 670.001(2)(a) (a) The facility generates hazardous waste and then stores or non-thermally treats the hazardous waste on-site in tanks, containers, or containment buildings.
