Accumulated Sediment End Use Certification
Form 4400-248 (R 12/09) Page 3 of 5
Part B Professional Certification: Must be completed by a professional geologist, hydrologist, engineer or soil scientist
Based on information obtained in Part A, the following action was taken (check those that apply):
The drainage area meets criteria 2, 3 and 4 but does not meet criterion 1, so initial sampling under NR 528.06(3)(b)1. to 4. was
performed under my direction. I reviewed the results and have determined the following actions will be taken (check any which apply):
The drainage area does not meet criteria 2, 3 or 4, so go to Part B1 to determine additional parameters to add to the initial sampling.
NR 528.04(4) Table 2 ceiling levels were exceeded so the sediment will be taken to a licensed landfill.
NR 528.04(4) Table 2 ceiling levels were not exceeded but sampling results for indicator parameters listed under NR 528.06(3)
(b)3 and 4 indicated elevated levels of contaminants, so follow-up sampling in accordance with NR 528.06(3)(b)5 has been
performed and I have evaluated the results under Part B2.
NR 528.04(4) Table 2 ceiling levels were not exceeded and the sampling results for indicator parameters listed under NR 528.06
(3)(b)3 and 4 did not indicate elevated levels of contaminants, so I am recommending the end use described under Section 3
and complete certification statement.
Part B1 Worksheet: Information on Drainage Area to Storm Water Management Structure
Part B1: Only to be completed if criteria 2, 3 or 4 in Part A are not met.
Presence of Areas of Suspected Contamination
or Other Conditions or Events (Example)
Provide Details
Tier I Industry (NR 216.21(2)(a))
Tier II storage and loading areas
(NR 216.21(2)(b))
Brownfields
Oil or chemical spill has occurred
Agriculture land use history suggests persistent
pesticides may be in sediment.
Other uses such as but not limited to those in
Part A Worksheet
I completed Part B1 Worksheet and determined an appropriate management option (check if true):
Based on the results of the second half of Part A Worksheet and Part B1 Worksheet, I have added the appropriate additional
parameters to the initial sampling under NR 528.06(3)(b)1 to 4, performed initial sampling, saw no elevated levels of contaminants
and am recommending the end use listed in Section 3.
The initial sampling performed after adding additional parameters indicated elevated levels of contaminants so I will follow the steps
in Part B2 to determine an appropriate end use.
Part B2: To be completed if directed here from Part B1 or if ceiling levels were not exceeded but initial sampling results
under NR 528.06(3)(b)1 to 4 indicated elevated levels of contaminants.
Initial sampling results under NR 528.06(3)(b)1 to 4 indicated elevated levels of contaminants so the following
action occurred (check those that apply):
Follow-up sampling was performed in accordance with NR 528.06(3)(b)5 and the results evaluated.
The end use listed under Section 3 was chosen.
The end use listed under Section 3 was chosen and more stringent management was employed under my direction.
Record retention is being performed in accordance with NR 528.08.
Certification Statement
I am a professional engineer registered to practice in Wisconsin or a geologist, hydrologist or soil scientist licensed to practice in
Wisconsin and am qualified by training and experience to evaluate the potential for soil, surface water and groundwater contamination
from the end use of accumulated sediment.
I hereby certify that the accumulated sediment is not a hazardous waste, as defined by s. NR 661.03, Wis. Adm. Code. I hereby certify
that the information provided in Part B, B1 and B2 on this form is true, accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge. Based on
my evaluation of the accumulated sediment sampling results, intended end use, site-specific factors at the end use site and
management practices I certify that if the end use chosen in Section 3 is properly implemented, the site will meet the applicable
requirements of s. NR 528.04, Wis. Adm. Code and it is likely the site will not cause any significant risk to public health, safety or
welfare or the environment. My professional opinion is given to a reasonable degree of professional certainty, and is based upon my
evaluation of reasonable and sufficient information and generally accepted engineering and scientific practices. I am aware that
violation of these requirements is subject to enforcement under secs. 289.96 and 299.97 Wis. Stats.
