Analysis Prepared by the Department of Natural Resources

1. Statute Interpreted: Sections 227.14 (1m), 289.06, 289.24, 289.30, 289.41, 289.46 and 289.67, Stats., ch. 291, Stats., and s. 299.53, Stats.

2. Statutory Authority: Sections 227.11 (2) (a), 227.14 (1m), 287.03 (1) (a), 289.05, 289.06, 289.21, 289.24, 289.30, 289.31, 289.33, 289.41, 289.43, 289.61, 289.63, 291.05, 291.07, 291.25, 299.05 and 299.53, Stats.

3. Explanation of Agency Authority: The proposed rules replace and update current rules that comprehensively regulate the generation, transportation, recycling, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste and used oil. As authorized by s. 227.14 (1m), Stats., the format of the proposed rules is similar to the federal regulations published in the code of federal regulations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the resource conservation and recovery act (RCRA).

When the Wisconsin legislature passed the Hazardous Waste Management Act in 1977 it set out a declaration of policy in what is now s. 291.001, Stats., regarding hazardous waste management. It found that hazardous wastes, when mismanaged, pose a substantial danger to the environment and public health and safety. To provide for proper management of hazardous waste within the state, the legislature called upon the department to develop and administer a regulatory program that met nine specific objectives.

Section 291.001, Stats., calls for a program that: (1) Relies upon private industry or local units of government to provide hazardous waste management services, (2) Requires the transportation, storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes to be performed only by licensed operators, (3) Requires generators of hazardous waste to use operators licensed to transport, treat, store or dispose of hazardous wastes, (4) Does not interfere with, control or regulate the manufacturing processes that generate hazardous wastes, (5) Ensures the maintenance of adequate records on, and the reporting of, the disposition of all hazardous wastes either generated in or entering this state, (6) Encourages to the extent feasible, the reuse, recycling or reduction of hazardous wastes, (7) Provides adequate care and protection of disposal facilities after the facilities cease to accept hazardous wastes, (8) Provides members of the public and units of local government an opportunity to review and comment upon the construction, operation and long-term care of hazardous waste management facilities, and (9) Meets the minimum requirements of RCRA.

In furtherance of these stated objectives, the legislature adopted a number of statutes setting out general and specific hazardous waste rulemaking authority. Section 291.05, Stats., for instance, requires the department to adopt by rule EPA’s criteria for identifying the characteristics of hazardous waste, and to adopt EPA’s lists of hazardous wastes and hazardous constituents, with limited exceptions. Rules governing hazardous waste transportation are also mandated, as are rules governing specific aspects of hazardous waste generation, treatment, storage and disposal, corrective action, licensing, closure, long term care, and license and plan review and approval fees.

Since hazardous wastes are a subset of solid wastes, rulemaking authority in various sections of ch. 289, Stats., is also relied upon by the department, in particular authority relating to hazardous waste facility location, design, construction, operation, maintenance, closure, long-term care, negotiation and arbitration, financial responsibility and licensing and recycling. Finally, the department also relies in part on rulemaking authority in s. 299.53, Stats., to regulate used oil.

4. Related Statutes or Rules: Chapters 160, 287, 289, 292, 293 and 299, Stats., and chs. NR 2, 140, 141, 500 to 538, 700 to 754 and 812, Wis. Adm. Code.

5. Plain Language Analysis: The rule incorporates into state law changes made to federal hazardous waste regulations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the following Federal Registers, to the extent allowed by state law:

A.

NESHAP Final Standards for HW Combustors Amendments, April 8, 2008.

Summary: The federal amendments to the October 2005 final rule clarify several compliance and monitoring provisions and correct several omissions and typographical errors in the final rule. The amendments contain no unfunded mandates, no information collection burdens, affect only hazardous waste combustion facilities with specific North American Industry Classification System (NAICs) codes, and at present there are no known affected entities operating in Wisconsin. (Corrections and clarifications; minimal to no impact; EPA checklist 217)

Addressed in NR 664.0340, Wis. Adm. Code.

B.

F019 Exemption for Waste Water Treatment Sludges from Auto Manufacturing Zinc Phosphating Process, June 4, 2008.

Summary: The F019 listing is amended to exempt wastewater treatment sludges generated from zinc phosphating, when such phosphating is used in the motor vehicle manufacturing process, provided that the wastes are not placed outside on the land prior to shipment to a landfill for disposal, and the wastes are placed in landfill units that are subject to or meet the specified landfill design criteria. This F019 listing does not affect any other wastewater treatment sludges. (Relaxation/exemption; EPA checklist 218)

Addressed in NR 661.0031, Wis. Adm. Code.

C.

OECD Requirements; Export Shipments of Spent Lead – Acid Batteries, January 8, 2010.

Summary: The amendments implement changes to the agreements concerning the transboundary movement of hazardous waste among countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), including notice and consent requirements, exception reports, import consent documentation and manifest requirements. (Required to maintain equivalency; not administered by the state; EPA Checklist 222)

Addressed in NR 662.010, 662.055, 662.080 to 662.089, 664.0071, 665.0012 and 665.0071, Wis. Adm. Code.
