Equipment used for recovery is part of a process unit and is not a waste management unit. NR 419.02 NoteNote: Examples of waste management units are wastewater tanks, surface impoundments, individual drain systems, and biological wastewater treatment units. Examples of equipment that may be considered waste management units are containers, air flotation units, oil-water separators and organic-water separators, and organic removal devices such as decanters, strippers, or thin-film evaporation units.
NR 419.02(18m)(18m) “Wastewater stream” means a stream that contains process wastewater. NR 419.02(18s)(18s) “Wastewater tank” means a stationary waste management unit that is designed to contain an accumulation of process wastewater or affected residuals and is constructed primarily of non-earthen materials such as wood, concrete, steel, or plastic. NR 419.02(22)(22) “Water seal” means any seal pot, p-leg trap, or other type of trap filled with water that creates a barrier between the water level of the seal and the atmosphere. The water level of the seal must be maintained in the vertical leg of a drain in order to be considered a water seal. NR 419.02(23)(23) “Wet weather retention basin” means an impoundment or tank that is used to store rainfall runoff that would exceed the capacity of the wastewater treatment system until it can be returned to the wastewater treatment system or, if the water meets the applicable discharge limits, discharged without treatment.
