Section 665.0312. Special requirements for ignitable or reactive waste.

 

(1)  Except as provided in sub. (2) and s. NR 665.0316 , ignitable or reactive waste may not be placed in a landfill, unless the waste and landfill meets all applicable requirements of ch. NR 668 and both of the following:

(a) The resulting waste, mixture or dissolution of material no longer meets the definition of ignitable or reactive waste under s. NR 661.21 or 661.23 .

(b) Section NR 665.0017 (2) is complied with.

(2)  Except for prohibited wastes which remain subject to treatment standards in subch. D of ch. NR 668 , ignitable wastes in containers may be landfilled without meeting the requirements of sub. (1) , provided that the wastes are disposed of in such a way that they are protected from any material or conditions which may cause them to ignite. At a minimum, ignitable wastes shall be disposed of in non-leaking containers which are carefully handled and placed so as to avoid heat, sparks, rupture or any other condition that might cause ignition of the wastes; shall be covered daily with soil or other non-combustible material to minimize the potential for ignition of the wastes and may not be disposed of in cells that contain or will contain other wastes which may generate heat sufficient to cause ignition of the waste.
