NR 514.045(2)(2) Completeness. Within 90 days after the owner or operator of a new or existing CCR landfill submits a plan of operation modification, the department shall provide written notification to the owner or operator, and any other person who has filed a written request, whether or not the plan of operation modification is complete. If the submittal is determined to be incomplete, the department shall specify the information that shall be submitted before the plan may be deemed complete. The department shall determine if the plan of operation modification is complete by determining whether or not the minimum requirements of this chapter have been met. The department may require the applicant to submit additional information at any time, including after determining that the plan of operation is complete, if the department establishes that the plan of operation is insufficient without the additional information. If the owner or operator submits additional information that substantially differs from the complete submittal, the procedures under this subsection and sub. (3) shall be repeated.

NR 514.045(3)(3) Notification of completeness, public meeting and public comment period. After the department determines the report is complete, the department shall publish a class 1 notice under ch. 985, Stats., in the official newspaper designated under s. 985.04 or 985.05, Stats., or, if none exists, in a newspaper likely to give notice in the area of the landfill, and shall publish the notice on its internet site. A copy of the plan of operation modification submittal shall also be published on the department’s internet site during the comment period. The notice shall include a statement that the plan of operation modification for initial permitting of the CCR landfill is complete. The notice shall invite the submission of written comments by any person within 60 days after the notice is published. The department shall hold a virtual or in person public meeting during the 60-day comment period to receive oral comments on the complete submittal.

NR 514.045 NoteNote: Section NR 506.17 (3) (d) 1. requires an owner or operator to publicly notice the plan of operation modification submittal and the department’s final decision documents, including the notification of completeness, on the owner or operator’s publicly accessible internet site.

NR 514.045(4)(4) Draft decision and review times. The department shall issue a draft decision on the plan of operation modification to the owner or operator in writing within 60 days after the completion of the public comment period under sub. (3). The draft decision shall include a written response to comments received under sub. (3). The draft decision shall be published on the department’s internet site for 30 days for public comments. The department shall issue a final decision within 30 days following the end of the 30-day public comment period on the draft decision.

NR 514.045(5)(5) Failure to demonstrate compliance with locational criteria.

NR 514.045(5)(a)(a) Within 6 months of a determination that an existing CCR landfill does not comply with the location criteria for unstable areas specified under sub. (1) (c), an owner or operator shall cease placing CCR and non-CCR waste streams into the CCR landfill and close the CCR landfill in accordance with the requirements under s. NR 506.083. This timeframe does not apply if the owner or operator complies with the alternative closure procedures under s. NR 506.083 (7).

NR 514.045(5)(b)(b) An owner or operator of a new CCR landfill or a lateral expansion of a CCR landfill who fails to make the demonstration showing compliance with the locational requirements specified under sub. (1) (b) to (f) is prohibited from placing CCR in the CCR unit.

NR 514.05NR 514.05 Engineering plans. The plan of operation for all new landfills and expansions of existing landfills shall contain a set of engineering plans which are drawn in accordance with ss. NR 500.05 and 504.07 to 504.12, and the following requirements. Engineering plans shall be drawn on standard 24 inch by 36 inch plan sheets. If facility details cannot be shown on standard plan sheets at a 1:100 scale, the engineering plans may be drawn on 30 inch by 42 inch plan sheets. All plan sheets except the title sheet, existing conditions sheet, cross-sections and details sheets shall utilize the existing conditions sheet as a base map. For complex plans, existing conditions within the landfill area may be shown by lighter lines or may be eliminated.

NR 514.05(1)(1) Title sheet. A title sheet shall be included indicating the project title, who prepared the plans, the date the plans were prepared, the applicant for whom the plans were prepared, a table of contents, a map showing the location of the facility within the county or multicounty area, the location of the county or multicounty area within the state and the area to be served.

NR 514.05(2)(2) Existing conditions. An existing conditions plan shall be included consisting of a detailed topographic map of the proposed facility landfill and all areas within 1,500 feet of the proposed limits of filling prior to development. The minimum scale shall be 1” = 200 feet with a maximum 2 foot contour interval. The contour interval selected shall be sufficiently small to clearly show surface water flow patterns within and around the landfill. All elevations shall be related to USGS datum. The plan shall identify and define the following:

NR 514.05(2)(e)(e) Locations of all soil borings, all existing and abandoned groundwater monitoring wells, and all public and private water supply wells, and the general locations of all known septic system drain fields within 1,000 feet of the landfill area or within 500 feet of any monitoring well.

NR 514.05(3)(3) Sub-base grades and base grades. Plan sheets shall be included which depict the sub-base grades, all sub-base appurtenances such as lysimeters or drain pipes, and the base grades.

NR 514.05(4)(4) Engineering design features. Separate plan sheets shall be included to depict the overall landfill area and the limits of liner construction and filling. The plan sheets shall depict the layout and slope of the liner system and leachate collection system including pipes, sumps, riser pipes on interior sideslopes, manholes, trenches, berms, lift stations, permanent storm water control structures, pipe cleanouts and other pertinent structures. Invert elevations shall be provided at any changes in grade for all leachate and groundwater collection and transfer systems.
