Section 664.1083. Waste determination procedures.  


Latest version.
  • (1) Procedure to determine average VO concentration of a hazardous waste at the point of waste origination.
    (a) An owner or operator shall determine the average VO concentration at the point of waste origination for each hazardous waste placed in a waste management unit exempted under s. NR 664.1082 (3) (a) from using air emission controls according to the standards in ss. NR 664.1084 to 664.1087 , as applicable to the waste management unit. Make the determinations according to all of the following:
    1. Make an initial determination of the average VO concentration of the waste stream before the first time any portion of the material in the hazardous waste stream is placed in a waste management unit exempted under s. NR 664.1082 (3) (a) from using air emission controls, and thereafter make an initial determination of the average VO concentration of the waste stream for each averaging period that a hazardous waste is managed in the unit.
    2. Perform a new waste determination whenever changes to the source generating the waste stream are reasonably likely to cause the average VO concentration of the hazardous waste to increase to a level that is equal to or greater than the applicable VO concentration limits in s. NR 664.1082 .
    (b) For a waste determination that is required by par. (a) , determine the average VO concentration of a hazardous waste at the point of waste origination according to the procedures in s. NR 665.1084 (1) (b) to (d) .
    (2) Procedures for treated hazardous waste.
    (a) An owner or operator shall perform the applicable waste determinations for each treated hazardous waste placed in waste management units exempted under s. NR 664.1082 (3) (b) 1. to 6. from using air emission controls according to standards in ss. NR 664.1084 to 664.1087 , as applicable to the waste management unit. Make the determinations according to all of the following:
    1. Make an initial determination of the average VO concentration of the waste stream before the first time any portion of the material in the treated waste stream is placed in the exempt waste management unit, and thereafter update the information used for the waste determination at least once every 12 months following the date of the initial waste determination.
    2. Perform a new waste determination whenever changes to the process generating or treating the waste stream are reasonably likely to cause the average VO concentration of the hazardous waste to increase to a level such that the applicable treatment conditions specified in s. NR 664.1082 (3) (b) are not achieved.
    (b) Perform the waste determination for a treated hazardous waste according to the procedures in s. NR 665.1084 (2) (b) to (i) , as applicable to the treated hazardous waste.
    (3) Procedure to determine the maximum organic vapor pressure of a hazardous waste in a tank.
    (a) An owner or operator shall determine the maximum organic vapor pressure for each hazardous waste placed in a tank using Tank Level 1 controls according to standards in s. NR 664.1084 (3) .
    (b) The maximum organic vapor pressure of the hazardous waste may be determined according to the procedures in s. NR 665.1084 (3) (b) to (d) .
    (4) Procedure for determining no detectable organic emissions. For the purpose of complying with this subchapter, an owner or operator shall determine no detectable organic emissions according to the procedures in s. NR 665.1084 (4) .
