NR 718.13 Note
Note: Contaminated soil which does not meet the requirements of this section may be approved for off-site disposal or disposal in a licensed solid waste disposal facility under ch.
289, Stats., and chs.
NR 500 to
538. It may also be treated or disposed of on the property from which it was excavated under s.
NR 718.11.

NR 718.13(3)
(3) Unless otherwise directed by the department, responsible parties shall sample and analyze the contaminated soil according to all of the requirements in
s. NR 718.11 (2) (b) 2.
NR 718.13(4)

NR 718.13(6)(b)
(b) The geology and hydrogeology of the area, including information from well logs and well construction records for nearby wells.
NR 718.13(6)(c)
(c) The unavailability of other environmentally suitable alternatives.
NR 718.13(6)(e)
(e) The threat to public health, safety or welfare or the environment.
NR 718.13 Note
Note: Allowable residual contaminant levels at the disposal site may also be determined using the procedures in s.
NR 720.19 (3) or another department approved method. However, this will require prior department approval. If contaminants of concern are not listed in table 1 or table 2 of ch.
NR 720, the allowable residual contaminant levels can be determined using procedures in s.
NR 720.19 (3) or other department approved method, with prior department approval. For example, for soil contamination with diesel fuel where polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are contaminants of concern, allowable levels for PAHs can be determined site specifically.
