If the department concludes, based on one or more of the factors listed in par. (a), that compliance with the standards of 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE alone may not be protective of human health or the environment, the department will require the additional information or assessments necessary to determine whether additional controls are necessary to ensure protection of human health and the environment. This includes information necessary to evaluate the potential risk to human health or the environment resulting from both direct and indirect exposure pathways. The department may also require a licensee or applicant to provide information necessary to determine whether these assessments should be required. NR 670.010(13)(a)(a) The department will base the evaluation of whether compliance with the standards of 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE alone is protective of human health or the environment on factors relevant to the potential risk from a hazardous waste combustion unit, including, as appropriate, any of the following factors: NR 670.010(13)(a)1.1. Particular site-specific considerations such as proximity to receptors (such as schools, hospitals, nursing homes, day care centers, parks, community activity centers, or other potentially sensitive receptors), unique dispersion patterns, and other relevant factors. NR 670.010(13)(a)2.2. Identities and quantities of emissions of persistent, bioaccumulative, or toxic pollutants considering enforceable controls in place to limit those pollutants. NR 670.010(13)(a)3.3. Identities and quantities of non-dioxin products of incomplete combustion most likely to be emitted and to pose significant risk based on known toxicities (confirmation of which should be made through emissions testing). NR 670.010(13)(a)4.4. Identities and quantities of other off-site sources of pollutants in proximity of the facility that significantly influence interpretation of a facility-specific risk assessment. NR 670.010(13)(a)5.5. Presence of significant ecological considerations, such as the proximity of a particularly sensitive ecological area. NR 670.010(13)(a)6.6. Volume and types of wastes, for example wastes containing highly toxic constituents. NR 670.010(13)(a)7.7. Other on-site sources of hazardous air pollutants that significantly influence interpretation of the risk posed by the operation of the source in question. NR 670.010(13)(a)8.8. Adequacy of any previously conducted risk assessment, given any subsequent changes in conditions likely to affect risk. NR 670.010 HistoryHistory: CR 05-032: cr.

NR 664. These information requirements are necessary in order for the department to determine compliance with the ch. NR 664 standards. If owners and operators of HWM facilities can demonstrate that the information prescribed in the feasibility and plan of operation report cannot be provided to the extent required, the department may make allowance for submission of the information on a case-by-case basis. Information required in the feasibility and plan of operation report shall be submitted to the department and signed according to s. NR 670.011. Technical data, such as design drawings and specifications, and engineering studies shall be certified by a qualified professional engineer. For long-term care licenses, only the information specified in s. NR 670.028 is required in the feasibility and plan of operation report. NR 670.014(2)(2) General information requirements. All of the following information is required for all HWM facilities, except as s. NR 664.0001 provides otherwise: NR 670.014(2)(b)(b) Chemical and physical analyses of the hazardous waste and hazardous debris to be handled at the facility. At a minimum, these analyses shall contain all the information which must be known to treat, store or dispose of the wastes properly according to ch. NR 664.

NR 670.014(2)(k)3.3. Owners and operators of all facilities shall provide an identification of whether the facility is located within a 100-year floodplain. This identification must indicate the source of data for such determination and include a copy of the relevant federal insurance administration flood map, if used, or the calculations and maps used where an FIA map is not available. Information shall also be provided identifying the 100-year flood level and any other special flooding factors (e.g., wave action) which must be considered in designing, constructing, operating, or maintaining the facility to withstand washout from a 100-year flood. NR 670.014 NoteNote: Where maps for the national flood insurance program produced by the federal insurance administration (FIA) of the federal emergency management agency are available, they will normally be determinative of whether a facility is located within or outside of the 100-year floodplain. However, where the FIA map excludes an area, usually areas of the floodplain less than 200 feet in width, these areas must be considered and a determination made as to whether they are in the 100-year floodplain. Where FIA maps are not available for a proposed facility location, the owner or operator must use equivalent mapping techniques to determine whether the facility is within the 100-year floodplain, and if so located, what the 100-year flood elevation would be.
NR 670.014(2)(k)4.4. Owners and operators of facilities located in the 100-year floodplain shall provide the following information: NR 670.014(2)(k)4.a.a. Engineering analysis to indicate the various hydrodynamic and hydrostatic forces expected to result at the site as consequence of a 100-year flood. NR 670.014(2)(k)4.b.b. Structural or other engineering studies showing the design of operational units (e.g., tanks, incinerators) and flood protection devices (e.g., floodwalls, dikes) at the facility and how these will prevent washout. NR 670.014(2)(k)4.c.c. If applicable, and in lieu of subds. 4. a. and b., a detailed description of procedures to be followed to remove hazardous waste to safety before the facility is flooded, including: 1) Timing of such movement relative to flood levels, including estimated time to move the waste, to show that such movement can be completed before floodwaters reach the facility.
2) A description of the location or locations to which the waste will be moved and demonstration that those facilities will be eligible to receive hazardous waste in accordance with the regulations under chs. NR 664 to 666 and 670. 3) The planned procedures, equipment, and personnel to be used and the means to ensure that such resources will be available in time for use.
4) The potential for accidental discharges of the waste during movement.
