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.

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.
