NR 502.08(5)(5) Engineering plans. The plan of operation shall include a set of engineering plans and maps which contain the following information unless an exemption is granted by the department in writing: NR 502.08(5)(a)(a) An existing conditions map, which shows the entire facility and the area within 1/4 mile. The minimum scale shall be 1″ = 400′. This map shall include the proposed facility boundary, property lines, easements and rights-of-way, buildings foundations, roads, utilities and other structures; topography, drainage swales, surface waters, wetlands, floodplains and similar drainage features; wooded areas; location of soil borings and test pits; features of historical and archaeological significance; and other features as appropriate. NR 502.08(5)(b)(b) A facility plan which includes the proposed facility access roads and traffic patterns, buildings, scales, utility lines, drainage diversion, screening, means of access control, final topography, areas to be cleared of vegetation, and other design features. The extent of coverage and scale shall be the same as that for the existing conditions map. NR 502.08(5)(c)(c) A proposed layout of each facility building including receiving, processing, and loadout areas. The minimum scale shall be 1″ = 20′. The building layout shall also show the location of all major facility equipment, including material handling equipment, air handling and air pollution control equipment, floor drains and process sewers, and other pertinent design features. NR 502.08(5)(d)(d) At least one cross section drawn through the receiving area, each process line, and the loadout area indicating existing topography, limits of excavation, proposed final grade, and other pertinent design features. More cross sections may be necessary depending on the complexity of the facility design. NR 502.08(6)(6) Minimum operational requirements. No person may operate or maintain a solid waste processing facility except in conformance with any approved plan of operation and the following minimum requirements: NR 502.08(6)(a)(a) A sign, acceptable to the department, shall be posted at the entrance to the facility which indicates the name, license number, the hours of operation, a list of all prohibited wastes, the penalty for unauthorized use, all necessary safety precautions and other pertinent information. NR 502.08(6)(b)(b) Access to the processing facility shall be limited to those times that an attendant is on duty. NR 502.08(6)(c)(c) A processing facility shall be operated under the close supervision of responsible individuals who are thoroughly familiar with the requirements and operational procedures of the plant. NR 502.08(6)(d)(d) Unloading of solid waste shall take place only in approved, designated areas. All solid waste, with the exception of that in the process line, shall be stored in conformance with s. NR 502.05. NR 502.08(6)(e)(e) The operation shall be conducted in a manner to prevent public health hazards and nuisances, including keeping the processing facility and adjacent area clean and free from litter, and taking effective means to control flies, rodents and other insects or vermin. NR 502.08(6)(f)(f) Waste containing free liquids, sludges or asbestos waste shall be excluded unless plans specifically addressing the handling of these materials have been submitted to the department and approved in writing. Solid waste which is flammable or explosive may not be accepted. Infectious waste may be accepted only in accordance with s. NR 526.12. NR 502.08(6)(g)(g) Equipment shall be provided to control accidental fires and arrangements shall be made with the local fire protection agency to provide immediate services when needed. NR 502.08(6)(h)(h) All operators shall be trained on the sources, quantities and characteristics of the wastes to be processed; process line start up procedures, routine monitoring and cleanup procedures; daily processing and equipment maintenance schedules; methods of controlling access, odors and windblown materials; methods of controlling fires and explosions, use of appropriate safety equipment; persons to contact concerning operational problems and emergencies. An operator training manual containing this and other pertinent operating information shall be prepared and maintained at the facility. Means of communication with emergency facilities shall be provided. NR 502.08(6)(j)(j) Materials resulting from composting or similar processes and offered for sale or public distribution shall be: NR 502.08(6)(j)1.1.
