NR 661.0004(1)(t)1.1. Hazardous secondary material used to make zinc micronutrient fertilizers may not be accumulated speculatively, as defined in s. NR 661.0001 (3) (h).
NR 661.0004(1)(t)2.2. Generators and intermediate handlers of zinc-bearing hazardous secondary material that are to be incorporated into zinc fertilizers shall do all of the following:
NR 661.0004(1)(t)2.a.a. Submit a one-time notice to the department that contains the name, address and EPA identification number of the generator or intermediate handler facility, provides a brief description of the secondary material that will be subject to the exclusion, and identifies when the manufacturer intends to begin managing excluded, zinc-bearing hazardous secondary material under the conditions specified in this paragraph.
NR 661.0004(1)(t)2.b.b. Store the excluded secondary material in tanks, containers, or buildings that are constructed and maintained in a way that prevents releases of the secondary material into the environment. At a minimum, any building used for that purpose shall be an engineered structure made of non-earthen materials that provide structural support, and shall have a floor, walls and a roof that prevent wind dispersal and contact with rainwater. Tanks used for that purpose shall be structurally sound and, if outdoors, shall have roofs or covers that prevent contact with wind and rain. Containers used for that purpose shall be kept closed except when it is necessary to add or remove material, and shall be in sound condition. Containers that are stored outdoors shall be managed within storage areas that have containment structures or systems sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills and accumulated precipitation; provide for effective drainage and removal of leaks, spills and accumulated precipitation; and prevent run-on into the containment system.
NR 661.0004(1)(t)2.c.c. With each off-site shipment of excluded hazardous secondary material, provide written notice to the receiving facility that the material is subject to the conditions of this paragraph.
NR 661.0004(1)(t)2.d.d. Maintain at the generator’s or intermediate handlers’ facility for no less than 3 years records of all shipments of excluded hazardous secondary material. For each shipment those records shall at a minimum contain the name of the transporter and date of the shipment; the name and address of the facility that received the excluded material, and documentation confirming receipt of the shipment; and the type and quantity of excluded secondary material in each shipment.
