Determination of eligible uses. Determination of eligible uses. Acceptable beneficial uses for industrial byproducts that have been determined not to be a hazardous waste, as defined in s. NR 660.10 (52) , and tested in accordance with s. NR 538.06 shall be determined as follows: (1) Contained or converted uses. All industrial byproducts, including select foundry sand, are eligible for contained or converted uses in accordance with provisions of s. NR 538.10 (1) . (2) Geotechnical fill. Industrial byproducts, including select foundry sand, that have been determined to contain less than the concentration specified for the parameters listed in ch. NR 538 Appendix , Table 1, Column B, are eligible for use as geotechnical fill in accordance with the provisions of ss. NR 538.10 (2) and 538.12 , except nonmetallic mine reclamation uses under s. NR 538.12 (2) (e) , which must be designated by the department as a select foundry sand under s. NR 538.06 (3) (f) or determined to contain less than the concentration specified for the parameters listed in ch. NR 538 Appendix , Table 1, Column A. (3) Construction uses. Industrial byproducts, including select foundry sand, that have been determined to contain less than the concentration specified for the parameters listed in ch. NR 538 Appendix , Table 1, Column B, are eligible for construction uses in accordance with the provisions of s. NR 538.10 (3) . (4) Unconfined uses. Industrial byproducts, including select foundry sand, that have been determined to contain less than the concentration specified for the parameters listed in ch. NR 538 Appendix , Table 1, Column B and Table 2 are eligible for unconfined uses in accordance with the provisions of s. NR 538.10 (4) . (5) Soil or plant additives. Flue gas desulfurization materials that have been determined to contain less than the concentration specified for the parameters listed in ch. NR 538 Appendix , Table 3, are eligible for use as soil and plant additives in accordance with the provisions of s. NR 538.10 (5) . Industrial byproducts intended for use as agricultural liming additives that have been determined to contain less than the concentrations specified in Table 3 of s. NR 204.07 (5) (c) are eligible for use as soil or plant additives in accordance with the provisions of s. NR 538.10 (5) . (6) Criteria and process for using eligibility standards. (a) If a standard for a parameter listed in ch. NR 538 Appendix is above the limit of detection and the limit of quantitation, the standard shall be considered exceeded if the parameter is reported at or above the standard. (b) If a standard for a parameter listed in ch. NR 538 Appendix is between the limit of detection and the limit of quantitation, inclusive, the standard shall be considered exceeded if the parameter is reported at or above the limit of quantitation. (c) The following applies when a standard for a parameter listed in ch. NR 538 Appendix is below the lowest achievable limit of detection: 1. If a parameter is not detected in a sample, the standard shall be considered to have been met. 2. If a parameter is reported at or above the limit of detection but below the limit of quantitation, a confirmation analysis shall be conducted. The standard shall be considered exceeded if the presence of that parameter has been confirmed by the use of an appropriate analytical method as determined by the department. 3. If a parameter is reported at or above the limit of quantitation, the standard shall be considered exceeded.
