NR 506.105(2) (2) Volume limitations.

NR 506.105(2)(a) (a) Except as provided in par. (b) or (c), the volume of untreated petroleum contaminated soil from a single clean-up site or facility that is proposed for landfill disposal may not exceed 250 cubic yards as measured in situ.

NR 506.105(2)(b) (b) Except as provided in par. (c), untreated volumes of petroleum contaminated soil from a single clean-up site or facility that exceed 250 cubic yards may be disposed of in a licensed landfill with a department approved composite liner, or a liner that is equivalent to a composite liner in terms of environmental protection as determined by the department, if approved by the department in the plan of operation for the landfill.

NR 506.105(2)(c) (c) Volumes of untreated petroleum contaminated soil from a single clean-up site or facility that exceed 2,000 cubic yards may be disposed of in a landfill only if prior written approval of a remedial action options report is obtained in accordance with s. NR 722.13 and approved in the landfill’s plan of operation.

NR 506.105(3) (3) Maximum organic compound concentration. No person may accept for disposal in a landfill untreated petroleum contaminated soil having an average organic compound concentration exceeding 2,000 mg/kg except for soils managed in accordance with ch. NR 708. For volumes of material less than 55 gallons the department may waive this prohibition in writing if the department finds that there are no practicable treatment alternatives. The department may accept knowledge in lieu of testing for specific waste types.

NR 506.105 Note Note: The average organic compound concentration for untreated petroleum contaminated material is generally measured by diesel range organic compounds (DRO), gasoline range organic compounds (GRO), petroleum volatile organic compounds (PVOC), or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (PAH), alone or in combination.

NR 506.105 Note Note: NR 419 imposes the following limits:

NR 506.105 Note For ozone nonattainment areas the concentration of volatile organic compound contaminants in the soil accepted may not exceed 250 mg/kg.

NR 506.105 Note For ozone attainment areas, in all contaminated soils accepted with a volatile organic compound concentration of greater than 250 mg/kg, the total quantity of volatile organic compounds may not exceed 25 tons per year.

NR 506.105 Note Material contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) must be managed in accordance with the requirements of ch. NR 157 and this chapter.

NR 506.105(4) (4) Record keeping. Except as otherwise provided in par. (b), the owner or operator of a landfill which accepts untreated contaminated unconsolidated material having an average organic compound concentration exceeding 250 mg/kg in accordance with this section shall maintain records in accordance with s. NR 506.17 and the following:

NR 506.105(4)(a) (a) Records shall be maintained of the volume of materials received, the average organic compound concentration, the average benzene concentration, and the location for each site from which untreated petroleum contaminated soil is accepted at the landfill.

NR 506.105(4)(b) (b) Records shall be maintained on an on-going basis and summarized annually of the accumulated total pounds of organic compounds and accumulated pounds of benzene accepted in untreated petroleum contaminated soils at the landfill. The department may waive this requirement if an alternative air monitoring program for VOC emissions is approved by the department in accordance with ch. NR 419.

NR 506.105(4)(c) (c) The tonnage records of untreated petroleum contaminated soil accepted annually shall be summarized and submitted with the annual tonnage certification report required by s. NR 520.14 (3) (a).

NR 506.12 NR 506.12 Ultra low-level radioactive waste. No person may dispose of ultra low-level radioactive waste at a landfill except in accordance with the following:

NR 506.12(1) (1) Landfill criteria. Only landfills meeting the following criteria may accept ultra low-level radioactive waste for disposal:

NR 506.12(1)(a) (a) The landfill shall be a licensed and approved landfill as defined in s. 289.01 (3), Stats.

NR 506.12(1)(b) (b) The landfill shall be approved by the department in writing to accept ultra low-level radioactive waste.

NR 506.12(2) (2) General requirements. The following criteria also apply to landfills proposing to accept ultra low-level radioactive waste:

NR 506.12(2)(a) (a) Sludge wastes shall meet the requirements contained in s. NR 506.13 or 506.14, as appropriate.

NR 506.12(2)(b) (b) A plan shall be submitted which addresses the control of any radon gas which may be generated by the waste.
