NR 664.0090 Note
Note: Groundwater monitoring requirements in chs.
NR 140 and
141 also apply.
NR 664.0090(1)(a)(a) Except as provided in sub.
(2), this subchapter applies to owners or operators of facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste. The owner or operator shall satisfy the requirements identified in par.
(b) for all wastes (or constituents thereof) contained in solid waste management units at the facility, regardless of the time at which waste was placed in the units.
NR 664.0090(1)(b)
(b) All solid waste management units shall comply with the requirements in s.
NR 664.0101. A surface impoundment or waste pile unit or landfill that receives hazardous waste after July 26, 1982 (in this subchapter, referred to as a “regulated unit") shall comply with the requirements of ss.
NR 664.0091 to
664.0100 in lieu of s.
NR 664.0101 for purposes of detecting, characterizing and responding to releases to the uppermost aquifer. The financial responsibility requirements of s.
NR 664.0101 apply to regulated units.
NR 664.0090(2)
(2) The owner or operator's regulated unit or units are not regulated for releases into the uppermost aquifer under this subchapter if any of the following apply:
NR 664.0090(2)(b)
(b) The owner or operator operates a unit which the department finds meets all of the following conditions:
NR 664.0090(2)(b)2.
2. Does not receive or contain liquid waste or waste containing free liquids.
NR 664.0090(2)(b)3.
3. Is designed and operated to exclude liquid, precipitation and other run-on and run-off.
NR 664.0090(2)(b)6.
6. The owner or operator shall provide continuing operation and maintenance of these leak detection systems during the active life of the unit and the closure and long-term care periods.
NR 664.0090(2)(b)7.
7. To a reasonable degree of certainty, shall not allow hazardous constituents to migrate beyond the outer containment layer prior to the end of the long-term care period.
NR 664.0090(2)(d)
(d) The department finds that there is no potential for migration of liquid from a regulated unit to the uppermost aquifer during the active life of the regulated unit (including the closure period) and the long-term care period specified under s.
NR 664.0117. A qualified geologist or geotechnical engineer shall certify this demonstration. In order to provide an adequate margin of safety in the prediction of potential migration of liquid, the owner or operator shall base any predictions made under this paragraph on assumptions that maximize the rate of liquid migration.
NR 664.0090(3)
(3) This subchapter applies during the active life of the regulated unit (including the closure period). After closure of the regulated unit, this subchapter:
NR 664.0090(3)(a)
(a) Does not apply if all waste, waste residues, contaminated containment system components and contaminated subsoils are removed or decontaminated at closure.
NR 664.0090(5)
(5) This subchapter applies to all owners and operators subject to s.
NR 670.001 (3) (g), when the department issues either a long-term care license or an enforceable document (as defined in s.
NR 670.001 (3) (g)) at the facility. When the department issues an enforceable document, references in this subchapter to “in the license" mean “in the enforceable document".
NR 664.0090(6)
(6) The department may replace all or part of the requirements of ss.
NR 664.0091 to
664.0100 applying to a regulated unit with alternative requirements for groundwater monitoring and corrective action for releases to groundwater set out in the license (or in an enforceable document) (as defined in s.
NR 670.001 (3) (g)) where the department determines that all of the following apply:
NR 664.0090(6)(a)
(a) The regulated unit is situated among solid waste management units (or areas of concern), a release has occurred and both the regulated unit and one or more solid waste management units (or areas of concern) are likely to have contributed to the release.
NR 664.0090(6)(b)
(b) It is not necessary to apply the groundwater monitoring and corrective action requirements of ss.
NR 664.0091 to
664.0100 because alternative requirements will protect human health and the environment.

(a) Whenever hazardous constituents under s.
NR 664.0093 from a regulated unit are detected at a point of standards application under s.
NR 664.0095, the owner or operator shall institute a compliance monitoring program under s.
NR 664.0099. Detected is defined as statistically significant evidence of contamination as described in s.
NR 664.0098 (6).
NR 664.0091(1)(b)
(b) Whenever the groundwater protection standard under s.
NR 664.0092 is exceeded, the owner or operator shall institute a corrective action program under s.
NR 664.0100. Exceeded is defined as statistically significant evidence of increased contamination as described in s.
NR 664.0099 (4).
NR 664.0091(1)(c)
(c) Whenever hazardous constituents under s.
NR 664.0093 from a regulated unit exceed concentration limits under s.
NR 664.0094 in groundwater between the point of standards application under s.
NR 664.0095 and the downgradient facility property boundary, the owner or operator shall institute a corrective action program under s.
NR 664.0100.
NR 664.0091(1)(e)
(e) Chemical and physical samples shall be analyzed by a laboratory certified or registered under ch.
NR 149, except for field analyses for pH, specific conductance and temperature.
NR 664.0091(2)
(2) The department shall specify in the facility license the specific elements of the monitoring and response program. The department may include one or more of the programs identified in sub.
(1) in the facility license as may be necessary to protect human health and the environment and shall specify the circumstances under which each of the programs will be required. In deciding whether to require the owner or operator to be prepared to institute a particular program, the department shall consider the potential adverse effects on human health and the environment that might occur before final administrative action on an application to modify the license to incorporate such a program could be taken.

NR 664.0093 detected in the groundwater from a regulated unit do not exceed the concentration limits under s.
NR 664.0094 or the enforcement standards listed in ch.
NR 140, whichever are more stringent, in the uppermost aquifer underlying the waste management area beyond the point of standards application under s.
NR 664.0095 during the compliance period under s.

(2).
NR 664.0093(2)
(2) The department shall exclude a ch.
NR 661 Appendix VIII constituent from the list of hazardous constituents specified in the license if it finds that the constituent is not capable of posing a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment. In deciding whether to grant an exemption, the department shall consider all of the following:
NR 664.0093(2)(a)
