NR 440.75(8)(8)Reporting requirements. Except as provided in sub. (3) (b) 2. a. 2):
NR 440.75(8)(a)(a) Each owner or operator subject to the requirements of this section shall do all of the following:
NR 440.75(8)(a)1.1. Submit to the department an initial design capacity report which fulfills the requirements of the notification of the date construction is commenced as required under s. NR 440.07 (1) (a) no later than one of the following:
NR 440.75(8)(a)1.a.a. June 10, 1996, for landfills that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction on or after May 30, 1991 but before March 12, 1996.
NR 440.75(8)(a)1.b.b. Ninety days after the date of commenced construction, modification or reconstruction for landfills that commence construction, modification or reconstruction on or after March 12, 1996.
NR 440.75(8)(a)2.2. Ensure that the initial design capacity report submitted under subd. 1. contains the following information:
NR 440.75(8)(a)2.a.a. A map or plot of the landfill, providing the size and location of the landfill, and identifying all areas where solid waste may be landfilled according to an operating license issued under s. 289.31, Stats., by the department.
NR 440.75(8)(a)2.b.b. The maximum design capacity of the landfill. Where the maximum design capacity is specified in an operating license issued under s. 289.31, Stats., by the department, a copy of the operating license specifying the maximum design capacity may be submitted as part of the report. If the maximum design capacity of the landfill is not specified in the operating license, the maximum design capacity shall be calculated using good engineering practices. The calculations shall be provided, along with the relevant parameters, as part of the report. The department may request other reasonable information as may be necessary to verify the maximum design capacity of the landfill.
NR 440.75(8)(a)3.3. Submit an amended design capacity report to the department providing notification of an increase in the design capacity of the landfill, within 90 days of an increase in the maximum design capacity of the landfill to or above 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters. This increase in design capacity may result from an increase in the volume of the landfill allowed in an operating license issued under s. 289.31, Stats., by the department, or an increase in the density as documented in the annual recalculation required in sub. (9) (h).
NR 440.75(8)(b)(b)

Each owner or operator subject to the requirements of this section shall submit an NMOC emission rate report to the department initially and annually thereafter, except as provided for in subds. 2. and 4. The department may request additional information as may be necessary to verify the reported NMOC emission rate. The NMOC emission rate report shall contain an annual or 5-year estimate of the NMOC emission rate calculated using the formula and procedures provided in sub. (5) (a) or (b), as applicable. The initial NMOC emission rate report may be combined with the initial design capacity report required in par. (a) 1. and shall be submitted no later than one of the following:
