NR 157.05 Full-service contractors.
(1) In lieu of meeting the requirements appearing in ss. NR 157.03 (2) and 157.04, the generator may contract with a full-service contractor for transportation, servicing or processing of PCBs or products containing PCBs for disposal. A full-service contractor shall be licensed as a transporter of hazardous wastes pursuant to ch. NR 663 and shall have a minimum of $ 300,000 in liability insurance. This insurance shall provide coverage for damage resulting from spillage of PCBs and products containing PCBs or from disposal at any facility which is not approved for acceptance of PCBs by the applicable state or federal agency for the disposal of PCBs.
(2) The full-service contractor shall be responsible for contracting with a facility to accept the PCBs or products containing PCBs. Shipment to service or disposal facilities in the state of Wisconsin shall be limited to those facilities which meet the requirements of ss. NR 157.06 and 157.07. If, for any reason, delivery of the shipment is rejected by the service or disposal facility, the contractor shall immediately make provisions for delivery to another service or disposal facility or shall make provisions for storage of the rejected shipment not to exceed 60 days. The department may extend the 60 day period upon a showing by the full service contractor that a service or disposal facility capable of accepting for disposal PCBs or products containing PCBs is not available. Any handling or storage by the contractor shall be done in a manner which will prevent losses to the environment.
(3) The full-service contractor shall take measures to insure that:
(a) All PCBs which are transported are stored in sturdy and secure containers in a manner to prevent leakage or spillage. Except for transformers, containers used for the transportation or storage of PCBs or products containing PCBs shall not be used for the storage or transportation of any other material.
(b) A supply of absorbents or other materials or equipment is carried to be used to contain and pick up the PCBs should spillage occur during transport.
(c) Provisions are adopted for the repackaging of the PCBs and continuation of the shipment to the service or disposal facility and for noting the amount spilled and disposition of spilled waste on the waste tracking forms on resumption of the trip.
(d) If spillage does occur, the full-service contractor shall implement the procedures required in sub. (3) and shall promptly notify the division of emergency government at (608) 266-3232.
(4) The full-service contractor shall make provisions with generators and service or disposal facilities to complete waste tracking forms provided or approved by the department. These forms shall be retained by the contractor for the inspection of the department.
