NR 670.079(4)(4) Final Determination. The department shall make a final written determination on the remediation variance request within 65 business days. The department may require the applicant to provide additional information to document compliance with chs. NR 660 to 679. The final determination may require construction inspection and fees under ch. NR 670 Appendix II. NR 670.079 NoteNote: The applicant is encouraged to contact the department early for assistance in planning the content of a complete application.
NR 670.079 NoteNote: For purposes of implementing this section, the department has determined that it would be an undue or unreasonable hardship to apply for, and wait for issuance of a hazardous waste treatment or storage license under s. 291.25, Stats., for the treatment or storage of remediation waste as part of the clean up a contaminated site. For example, in order to clean up a contaminated site, it may be necessary to treat excavated soil that is hazardous. In this situation it may be an undue or unreasonable hardship to delay the cleanup of the contamination while awaiting the issuance of a hazardous waste treatment license. The remediation variance approval issued by the department will include operating requirements necessary to protect public health and the environment during site remediation.
