subch. L of ch. NR 662 Subchapter L — Alternative Standards for Episodic Generation

NR 662.230 NR 662.230 Applicability. This subchapter is applicable to very small quantity generators and small quantity generators as defined in s. NR 660.10.

NR 662.230 History History: CR 19-082: cr. Register August 2020 No. 776, eff. 9-1-20.

NR 662.231(1) (1) “Episodic event” means an activity or activities, either planned or unplanned, that does not normally occur during generator operations, resulting in an increase in the generation of hazardous wastes that exceeds the calendar month quantity limits for the generator’s usual category.

NR 662.231(2) (2) “Planned episodic event” means an episodic event that the generator planned and prepared for, including regular maintenance, tank cleanouts, short-term projects, and removal of excess chemical inventory.

NR 662.231(3) (3) “Unplanned episodic event” means an episodic event that the generator did not plan or reasonably did not expect to occur, including production process upsets, product recalls, accidental spills, or acts of nature.

NR 662.232 NR 662.232 Conditions for a generator managing hazardous waste from an episodic event.

NR 662.232(1) (1) Very small quantity generator. A very small quantity generator may maintain its existing generator category for hazardous waste generated during an episodic event provided that the generator complies with all of the following:

NR 662.232(1)(a) (a) The very small quantity generator is limited to one episodic event per calendar year, unless a petition is granted under s. NR 662.233.

NR 662.232(1)(b) (b) The very small quantity generator shall notify the department no later than 30 calendar days prior to initiating a planned episodic event using EPA Form 8700-12. In the event of an unplanned episodic event, the generator shall notify the department within 72 hours of the unplanned event via phone, email, or fax and subsequently submit EPA Form 8700-12. The generator’s notification shall include the start date and end date of the episodic event, the reason for the episodic event, types and estimated quantities of hazardous waste expected to be generated as a result of the episodic event, and shall identify a facility contact and emergency coordinator with 24-hour telephone access to discuss the notification submittal or respond to an emergency in compliance with s. NR 662.016 (2) (i) 1.

NR 662.232(1)(c) (c) The very small quantity generator shall have an EPA identification number or obtain an EPA identification number using EPA Form 8700-12.

NR 662.232(1)(d) (d) A very small quantity generator is prohibited from accumulating hazardous waste generated from an episodic event on drip pads and in containment buildings. When accumulating hazardous waste in containers and tanks the following conditions apply:

NR 662.232(1)(d)1. 1. A very small quantity generator accumulating in containers shall mark or label its containers with all of the following:

NR 662.232(1)(d)1.a. a. The words “Episodic Hazardous Waste.”

NR 662.232(1)(d)1.b. b. An indication of the hazards of the contents. Acceptable indications of hazardous contents include the following: applicable hazardous waste characteristic or characteristics, such as ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic; hazard communication consistent with the department of transportation requirements on labeling or placarding, incorporated into s. Trans 326.01 (3); a hazard statement or pictogram consistent with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standard, incorporated into s. SPS 332.50; or a chemical hazard label consistent with the National Fire Protection Association 704 label, incorporated into s. SPS 314.001 (1) (a).”

NR 662.232(1)(d)1.c. c. The date the episodic event began, clearly visible for inspection on each container.

NR 662.232(1)(d)2. 2. A very small quantity generator accumulating episodic hazardous waste in tanks shall do all of the following:

NR 662.232(1)(d)2.a. a. Mark or label the tanks with the words “Episodic Hazardous Waste.”

NR 662.232(1)(d)2.b. b. Mark or label the tanks with an indication of the hazards of the contents. Acceptable indications of hazardous contents include the following: applicable hazardous waste characteristic or characteristics, such as ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic; hazard communication consistent with the department of transportation requirements on labeling or placarding, incorporated into s. Trans 326.01 (3); a hazard statement or pictogram consistent with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standard, incorporated into s. SPS 332.50; or a chemical hazard label consistent with the National Fire Protection Association 704 label, incorporated into s. SPS 314.001 (1) (a).

NR 662.232(1)(d)2.c. c. Use inventory logs, monitoring equipment or other records to identify the date upon which each episodic event begins.

NR 662.232(1)(d)2.d. d. Keep inventory logs or records with the information specified in subd. c. on-site and available for inspection for at least 3 years from the end date of the episodic event.

NR 662.232(1)(d)3. 3. Hazardous waste shall be managed in a manner that minimizes the possibility of a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to the air, soil, or water, including all of the following conditions:

NR 662.232(1)(d)3.a. a. Containers shall be in good condition and compatible with the hazardous waste being accumulated therein. Containers shall be kept closed except to add or remove waste.
