Note

The department does not intend that the owner or operator of a facility whose procedures under s. NR 665.0013(3) include waste analysis shall perform that analysis before signing the shipping paper and giving it to the transporter. Section NR 665.0072(2) , however, requires reporting an unreconciled discrepancy discovered during later analysis. Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Section NR 662.023 (3) requires the generator to send 3 copies of the manifest to the facility when hazardous waste is sent by rail or water (bulk shipment). Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 The provisions of s. NR 662.034 or 662.192 are applicable to the on-site accumulation of hazardous wastes by generators. Therefore, the provisions of s. NR 662.034 or 662.192 only apply to owners or operators who are shipping hazardous waste which they generated at that facility. Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1
