Answer Key
, 1. [WI-SMOL-E4-Q1] Dairyland Septage operating at 3200 W Burnham St, Milwaukee, WI 53215
in 2024 handles 544 gallons of septage with 56 mg/L nitrogen. Regarding Pathogen and vector
attraction, what does Wisconsin code require?
A. Records kept 1 year only – WDNR requires 5-year retention.
B. Per Pathogen and vector attraction: WDNR requires compliance with NR 113/114 – 544 gal load must meet
56 ft setback/application limits with Grade L master supervision.
C. DOT placard not needed for septage – required for bulk waste transport.
D. Apply on frozen ground if under 56 acres – prohibited when frozen/snow-covered.
Rationale: Correct B. For Wisconsin Septage Master Operator Grade L, Pathogen and vector attraction under
NR 113/114 governs. Example Dairyland Septage scenario with 544 gallons and 56 mg/L: Wisconsin requires
certified Grade L operator, proper manifest, setbacks, seasonal restrictions, 5-year logs. Why others wrong:
Manifest always required, frozen ground application prohibited, Grade L cannot be substituted by Grade T,
records 5 years not 1, soil eval required, DOT placarding required. This reflects 2026/2027 WDNR update.
