Waste specific prohibitions — newly identified organic toxicity characteristic wastes and newly listed coke by-product and chlorotoluene production wastes. (1) Effective December 19, 1994, the wastes specified in s. NR 661.0032 as EPA hazardous waste numbers K141, K142, K143, K144, K145, K147, K148, K149, K150, and K151 are prohibited from land disposal. In addition, debris contaminated with EPA hazardous waste numbers F037, F038, K107 to K112, K117, K118, K123 to K126, K131, K132, K136, U328, U353, U359, and soil and debris contaminated with D012 to D043, K141 to K145, and K147 to K151 are prohibited from land disposal. Wastes that are specified in s. NR 661.0024 , Table 1 as EPA hazardous waste numbers: D012, D013, D014, D015, D016, D017, D018, D019, D020, D021, D022, D023, D024, D025, D026, D027, D028, D029, D030, D031, D032, D033, D034, D035, D036, D037, D038, D039, D040, D041, D042, D043 that are not radioactive, or that are managed in systems other than those whose discharge is regulated under ch. 283 , Stats., or that are zero dischargers that do not engage in CWA-equivalent treatment before ultimate land disposal are prohibited from land disposal. (2) On September 19, 1996, radioactive wastes that are mixed with D018 to D043 that are managed in systems other than those whose discharge is regulated under ch. 283 , Stats., or that are zero dischargers that engage in CWA-equivalent treatment before ultimate land disposal, are prohibited from land disposal. CWA-equivalent treatment means biological treatment for organics, alkaline chlorination or ferrous sulfate precipitation for cyanide, precipitation/sedimentation for metals, reduction of hexavalent chromium, or other treatment technology that can be demonstrated to perform equally or greater than these technologies. Radioactive wastes mixed with K 141 to K 145, and K147 to K151 are also prohibited from land disposal. In addition, soil and debris contaminated with these radioactive mixed wastes are prohibited from land disposal. (3) Between December 19, 1994 and September 19, 1996, the wastes included in sub. (2) may be disposed in a landfill or surface impoundment, only if the unit is in compliance with 40 CFR 268.5(h)(2) . (4) The requirements of subs. (1) to (3) do not apply if any of the following conditions are met: (a) The wastes meet the applicable treatment standards specified in subch. D . (b) EPA has granted an exemption from a prohibition pursuant to a petition under 40 CFR 268.6 , with respect to those wastes and units covered by the petition. (c) The wastes meet the applicable alternate treatment standards established pursuant to a petition granted under 40 CFR 268.44(a) to (g) or s. NR 668.44 (8) to (13) . (d) EPA has granted an extension to the effective date of a prohibition pursuant to 40 CFR 268.5 , with respect to these wastes covered by the extension. (5) To determine whether a hazardous waste identified in this section exceeds the applicable treatment standards specified in s. NR 668.40 , the initial generator shall test a sample of the waste extract or the entire waste, depending on whether the treatment standards are expressed as concentrations in the waste extract or the waste, or the generator may use knowledge of the waste. If the waste contains constituents in excess of the applicable subch. D levels, the waste is prohibited from land disposal, and all requirements of this chapter are applicable, except as otherwise specified.
