NR 506.16 NR 506.16 Procedures for excluding the receipt of waste not specifically approved for acceptance at the landfill. Owners and operators of landfills that accept municipal solid waste shall implement a program at the landfill for detecting and preventing the disposal of waste not specifically approved for acceptance including but not limited to liquids, sludges, regulated hazardous waste and PCB waste. The program shall include the following:

NR 506.16(1) (1) Random inspections of incoming loads. Random inspections shall be made of every incoming load of solid waste unless the owner or operator receives approval in writing from the department to take other steps to insure that incoming loads do not contain wastes not specifically approved for acceptance.

NR 506.16(1)(a) (a) Inspections shall be conducted on every 5,000 tons of solid waste accepted or one inspection per month, whichever is more frequent. No more than one inspection per week is required. An owner or operator of a landfill which accepts less than 10,000 tons per year of solid waste and demonstrates adequate justification for less frequent inspections may be approved by the department for a minimum of 4 inspections per year. To assure that the inspections are random, the first truckload which exceeds the accumulated total of 5,000 tons of solid waste shall be selected for inspection. Alternate methods of assuring random selection may be approved by the department.

NR 506.16(1)(b) (b) The inspection shall involve discharging the waste load and viewing its contents in an area that clearly segregates the waste from all other solid wastes and is capable of controlling any potentially hazardous waste prior to disposal of the waste.

NR 506.16(2) (2) Records of inspections. Records of the random load inspections shall include the following information:

NR 506.16(2)(a) (a) The date and time solid wastes were received.

NR 506.16(2)(d) (d) The community or communities where the solid waste was generated.

NR 506.16(2)(e) (e) The type or types of waste such as commercial, industrial, residential or any combination.

NR 506.16(2)(f) (f) The name of the certified facility manager or certified site operator inspecting the load.

NR 506.16(2)(g) (g) All of the observations made by the inspector, including any actions taken to manage or return nonapproved waste or actions taken if extreme toxicity or hazard is discovered.
