DHS 157.30(3)(a)(a) A licensee or registrant may discharge licensed or registered material into sanitary sewerage if each of the following conditions is satisfied:
DHS 157.30(3)(a)1.1. The material is readily soluble, or is readily dispersible biological material, in water.
DHS 157.30(3)(a)2.2. The quantity of licensed or registered radioactive material that the licensee or registrant releases into the sewer in one month divided by the average monthly volume of water released into the sewer by the licensee or registrant does not exceed the concentration listed in Table III of ch. DHS 157 Appendix E.
DHS 157.30(3)(a)3.3. If more than one radionuclide is released, all the following conditions shall also be satisfied:
DHS 157.30(3)(a)3.a.a. A licensee or registrant shall determine the fraction of the limit in Table III of ch. DHS 157 Appendix E represented by discharges into sanitary sewerage by dividing the actual monthly average concentration of each radionuclide released by the licensee or registrant into the sewer by the concentration of that radionuclide listed in Table III of ch. DHS 157 Appendix E.
DHS 157.30(3)(a)3.b.b. The sum of the fractions for each radionuclide required by subd. 3. a. does not exceed unity.
DHS 157.30(3)(a)3.c.c. The total quantity of licensed or registered radioactive material that the licensee or registrant releases into the sanitary sewerage in a year does not exceed 185 GBq (5 Ci) of hydrogen-3, 37 GBq (1 Ci) of carbon-14 and 37 GBq (1 Ci) of all other radioactive materials combined.
DHS 157.30(3)(b)(b) Excreta from individuals undergoing medical diagnosis or therapy with radioactive material are not subject to the limitations contained in par. (a).
DHS 157.30(4)(4)Treatment or disposal by incineration. A licensee or registrant may treat or dispose of licensed or registered material by incineration only in the form and concentration specified in sub. (5) or as specifically approved by the department under sub. (2).
DHS 157.30(5)(5)Disposal of specific wastes.
DHS 157.30(5)(a)(a) A licensee or registrant may dispose of all of the following licensed or registered material as if the material were not radioactive:
DHS 157.30(5)(a)1.1. 1.85 kBq (0.05 mCi) or less of hydrogen-3, iodine-125 or carbon-14 per gram of medium used for liquid scintillation counting.
DHS 157.30(5)(a)2.2. 1.85 kBq (0.05 mCi) or less of hydrogen-3, iodine-125 or carbon-14 per gram of animal tissue, averaged over the weight of the entire animal.
DHS 157.30(5)(b)(b) A licensee or registrant may not dispose of tissue under par. (a) 2. in a manner that would permit its use either as food for humans or as animal feed.
DHS 157.30(5)(c)(c) A licensee or registrant shall maintain records under s. DHS 157.31 (9).
DHS 157.30(6)(6)Transfer for disposal and manifests.
DHS 157.30(6)(a)(a) The requirements of this subsection and Appendix G are designed to control transfers of low-level radioactive waste by any waste generator, waste collector or waste processor licensee who ships low level waste either directly, or indirectly through a waste collector or waste processor, to a licensed low level waste land disposal facility; establish a shipping manifest tracking system and supplement existing requirements concerning transfers and record keeping for those wastes.
DHS 157.30(6)(b)(b) Any licensee shipping radioactive waste or byproduct material as defined in s. DHS 157.03 (50) (c) to (e) intended for ultimate disposal at a licensed land disposal facility shall document the information required in ch. DHS 157 Appendix G, Section I and transfer this recorded information to the intended consignee in accordance with the requirements of ch. DHS 157 Appendix G.
DHS 157.30(6)(c)(c) Each shipment manifest shall include a certification by the waste generator as specified in ch. DHS 157 Appendix G, Section II.
DHS 157.30(6)(d)(d) Each person involved in the transfer of waste for disposal or in the disposal of waste, including the waste generator, waste collector, waste processor and disposal facility operator, shall comply with the requirements specified in ch. DHS 157 Appendix G, Section III.
DHS 157.30(7)(7)Compliance with environmental and health protection regulations. Nothing in subs. (1) to (6) relieves a licensee or registrant from complying with other applicable federal, state and local regulations governing any other toxic or hazardous properties of materials that may be disposed of according to subs. (1) to (6).
DHS 157.30(8)(8)Disposal of certain byproduct material.
DHS 157.30(8)(a)(a) Licensed byproduct material as defined in s. DHS 157.03 (50) (c) to (e) may be disposed of under 10 CFR 61 or equivalent agreement state regulations, even though it is not defined as low level radioactive waste. Any licensed byproduct material being disposed of at a facility, or transferred for ultimate disposal at a facility licensed by the NRC under 10 CFR 61 or an agreement state with equivalent regulations shall meet the requirements of sub. (6).
DHS 157.30(8)(b)(b) A licensee may dispose of byproduct material as defined in s. DHS 157.03 (50) (c) to (e) at a disposal facility authorized to dispose of such material under federal or state solid or hazardous waste law, including the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as authorized under 42 USC 2014 (e).
