NR 243.15 NoteNote: Department approval may be in addition to any local or county approvals needed. Also, a storm water construction WPDES permit may be required prior to construction pursuant to ch. NR 216. NR 243.15(1)(c)(c) Alternative practices or designs. When the owner or operator of the large CAFO demonstrates that accepted management practices or those practices or design standards specified in this section are more stringent than necessary to avoid a detrimental effect on water quality, the department may approve alternative practices or design standards. This demonstration may be made during the permit issuance process under ch. 283, Stats., or during the plan review process under this section. The department may only approve alternative practices or design standards if the owner or operator can demonstrate that the design and operation of the alternative practices will achieve compliance with the requirements of ss. NR 243.13 and 243.14 (9), surface water and groundwater quality standards and the 180-day storage requirement in s. NR 243.17 (3). NR 243.15(1)(d)(d) Additional requirements. As part of its written approval of plans and specifications, the department may require that accepted management practices or design standards or those practices or design standards specified in this section be superseded by more stringent operational or design requirements or practices, based on the following site-specific conditions: NR 243.15(1)(d)1.1. Physical location of the facilities or systems, including depth to groundwater and bedrock and proximity to surface waters and wetlands. NR 243.15(1)(d)2.2. Soil limitations such as permeability, infiltration rate, drainage class and flooding hazard. NR 243.15(1)(d)5.5. Additional requirements or practices necessary to prevent exceedance of groundwater or surface water quality standards or impairments to wetland functional values. NR 243.15(2)(2) Runoff control. Runoff control systems in the production area shall be designed to comply with the applicable standards in s.

NR 243.13(2), operations are not allowed to discharge pollutants to navigable waters under any circumstance or storm event from parts of the production area where manure or process wastewater is not properly stored or contained by a structure. Wastewater treatment strips, grassed waterways or buffers are examples of facilities or systems that by themselves do not constitute a structure. NR 243.15(3)(3) Storage or containment. Permittees proposing to construct storage or containment facilities shall design and install facilities that, at a minimum, meet the following requirements: NR 243.15(3)(a)(a) Nutrient management.
