NR 664.0094(2)(a)(a) Potential adverse effects on groundwater quality, considering all of the following: NR 664.0094(2)(a)1.1. The physical and chemical characteristics of the waste in the regulated unit, including its potential for migration. NR 664.0094(2)(a)2.2. The hydrogeological characteristics of the facility and surrounding land. NR 664.0094(2)(a)6.6. The existing quality of groundwater, including other sources of contamination and their cumulative impact on the groundwater quality. NR 664.0094(2)(a)7.7. The potential for health risks caused by human exposure to waste constituents. NR 664.0094(2)(a)8.8. The potential damage to wildlife, crops, vegetation and physical structures caused by exposure to waste constituents. NR 664.0094(2)(b)(b) Potential adverse effects on hydraulically-connected surface-water quality, considering all of the following: NR 664.0094(2)(b)1.1. The volume and physical and chemical characteristics of the waste in the regulated unit. NR 664.0094(2)(b)2.2. The hydrogeological characteristics of the facility and surrounding land. NR 664.0094(2)(b)3.3. The quantity and quality of groundwater, and the direction of groundwater flow. NR 664.0094(2)(b)6.6. The current and future uses of surface waters in the area and any water quality standards established for those surface waters. NR 664.0094(2)(b)7.7. The existing quality of surface water, including other sources of contamination and the cumulative impact on surface water quality. NR 664.0094(2)(b)8.8. The potential for health risks caused by human exposure to waste constituents. NR 664.0094(2)(b)9.9. The potential damage to wildlife, crops, vegetation and physical structures caused by exposure to waste constituents. NR 664.0094(2m)(2m) The department may not establish an alternate concentration limit under sub. (2) that is inconsistent with ch. NR 140. NR 664.0094(3)(3) In making any determination under sub. (2) about the use of groundwater in the area around the facility the department shall consider any identification of underground sources of drinking water and exempted aquifers made under 40 CFR 144.7. NR 664.0094 HistoryHistory: CR 05-032: cr. Register July 2006 No. 607, eff. 8-1-06. NR 664.0095(1)(1) The department shall specify in the facility license the point of standards application at which the groundwater protection standard of s. NR 664.0092 applies and at which monitoring shall be conducted. The point of standards application is a vertical surface located at the hydraulically downgradient limit of the waste management area that extends down into the uppermost aquifer underlying the regulated units. NR 664.0095(2)(2) The waste management area is the limit projected in the horizontal plane of the area on which waste will be placed during the active life of a regulated unit. NR 664.0095(2)(a)(a) The waste management area includes horizontal space taken up by any liner, dike or other barrier designed to contain waste in a regulated unit. NR 664.0095(2)(b)(b) If the facility contains more than one regulated unit, an imaginary line circumscribing the several regulated units describes the waste management area.
