Section 664.0110. Applicability.

  Except as s. NR 664.0001 provides otherwise:

(1)   Sections NR 664.0111 to 664.0115 (which concern closure) apply to the owners and operators of all hazardous waste management facilities.

(2)   Sections NR 664.0116 to 664.0120 (which concern long-term care) apply to the owners and operators of all of the following:

(a) All hazardous waste disposal facilities.

(b) Waste piles and surface impoundments from which the owner or operator intends to remove the wastes at closure to the extent that these sections are made applicable to the facilities in s. NR 664.0228 or 664.0258 .

(c) Tank systems that are required under s. NR 664.0197 to meet the requirements for landfills.

(d) Containment buildings that are required under s. NR 664.1102 to meet the requirements for landfills.

(3)  The department may replace all or part of the requirements of this subchapter (and the unit-specific standards referenced in s. NR 664.0111 (3) applying to a regulated unit), with alternative requirements set out in an operating license or in an enforceable document (as defined in s. NR 670.001 (3) (g) ), where the department determines that both of the following conditions are met:

(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.

(b) It is not necessary to apply the closure requirements of this subchapter (and those referenced in this subchapter) because the alternative requirements will protect human health and the environment and will satisfy the closure performance standard of s. NR 664.0111 (1) and (2) .
