Any mixture of domestic sewage, as defined in subd.1., and other wastes that passes through a sewer system to a publicly owned treatment works for treatment, except as prohibited by s. NR 666.505 and Clean Water Act requirements specified in 40 CFR 403.5 (b). NR 661.0004 NoteNote: This exclusion applies only to the actual point source discharge. It does not exclude industrial wastewaters while they are being collected, stored or treated before discharge, nor does it exclude sludges that are generated by industrial wastewater treatment.
NR 661.0004 NoteNote: Title 42 USC 2011 to 2114 is also known as the atomic energy act of 1954, as amended. NR 661.0004(1)(e)(e) Materials subjected to in-situ mining techniques that are not removed from the ground as part of the extraction process. NR 661.0004(1)(f)(f) Pulping liquors that are reclaimed in a pulping liquor recovery furnace and reused in the pulping process, unless they are accumulated speculatively as defined in s. NR 661.0001 (3). NR 661.0004(1)(h)(h) Secondary materials that are reclaimed and returned to the original process or processes in which they were generated where they are reused in the production process provided all of the following conditions are met: NR 661.0004(1)(h)1.1. Only tank storage is involved, and the entire process through completion of reclamation is closed by being entirely connected with pipes or other comparable enclosed means of conveyance. NR 661.0004(1)(h)2.2. Reclamation does not involve controlled flame combustion, such as occurs in boilers, industrial furnaces, or incinerators. NR 661.0004(1)(h)3.3. The secondary material is never accumulated in the tanks for more than 12 months without being reclaimed. NR 661.0004(1)(h)4.4. The reclaimed material is not used to produce a fuel or used to produce products that are used in a manner constituting disposal. NR 661.0004(1)(i)1.1. Spent wood preserving solutions that have been reclaimed and are reused for their original intended purpose. NR 661.0004(1)(i)2.2. Wastewaters from the wood preserving process that have been reclaimed and are reused to treat wood. NR 661.0004(1)(i)3.3. Prior to reuse, the wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions described in subds. 1. and 2., so long as they meet all of the following conditions: NR 661.0004(1)(i)3.a.a. The wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions are reused on-site at waterborne plants in the production process for their original intended purpose. NR 661.0004(1)(i)3.b.b. Prior to reuse, the wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions are managed to prevent release to either land or groundwater or both. NR 661.0004(1)(i)3.c.c. Any unit used to manage wastewaters or spent wood preserving solutions prior to reuse can be visually or otherwise determined to prevent such releases. NR 661.0004(1)(i)3.d.d. Any drip pad used to manage the wastewaters or spent wood preserving solutions prior to reuse complies with the standards in subch. W of ch. NR 665, regardless of whether the plant generates a total of less than 100 kg/month of hazardous waste. NR 661.0004(1)(i)3.e.e. Prior to operating pursuant to this exclusion, the plant owner or operator prepares a one-time notification stating that the plant intends to claim the exclusion, giving the date on which the plant intends to begin operating under the exclusion, and containing the following language: “I have read the applicable regulation establishing an exclusion for wood preserving wastewaters and spent wood preserving solutions and understand it requires me to comply at all times with the conditions set out in the regulation.” The plant shall maintain a copy of the notification in its on-site records until closure of the facility. The exclusion applies so long as the plant meets all of the conditions. If the plant goes out of compliance with any condition, it may apply to the department for reinstatement. The department may reinstate the exclusion upon finding that the plant has returned to compliance with all conditions and that the violations are not likely to recur. NR 661.0004(1)(j)(j) EPA hazardous waste numbers K060, K087, K141, K142, K143, K144, K145, K147, and K148, and any wastes from the coke by-products processes that are hazardous only because they exhibit the Toxicity Characteristic, TC, specified in s. NR 661.0024 when, subsequent to generation, these materials are recycled to coke ovens, to the tar recovery process as a feedstock to produce coal tar, or mixed with coal tar prior to the tar’s sale or refining. This exclusion is conditioned on there being no land disposal of the wastes from the point the wastes are generated to the point they are recycled to coke ovens or tar recovery or refining processes, or mixed with coal tar. NR 661.0004(1)(k)(k) Nonwastewater splash condenser dross residue from the treatment of K061 in high temperature metals recovery units, provided the residue is shipped in drums, if shipped, and not land disposed before recovery. NR 661.0004(1)(L)1.1. Oil-bearing hazardous secondary material that are generated at a petroleum refinery, SIC code 2911, and are inserted into the petroleum refining process, SIC code 2911, including distillation, catalytic cracking, fractionation, or thermal cracking units, unless the material is placed on the land, or speculatively accumulated before being recycled. Materials inserted into thermal cracking units are excluded under this subdivision, provided that the coke product also does not exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste. Oil-bearing hazardous secondary material may be inserted into the same petroleum refinery where they are generated, or sent directly to another petroleum refinery and still be excluded under this provision. Except as provided in subd. 2., oil-bearing hazardous secondary materials generated elsewhere in the petroleum industry are not excluded under this subdivision. Residuals generated from processing or recycling materials excluded under this subdivision, where such materials as generated would have otherwise met a listing under subch. D, are designated as F037 listed wastes when disposed or intended for disposal.
