Ala. Admin. Code r. 335-14-2-.09 - Use And Management Of Containers
(1) Applicability. This subpart applies to
hazardous secondary materials excluded under the remanufacturing exclusion at
335-14-2-.01(4)
(a)27. and stored in containers.
(2) Condition of containers. If a container
holding hazardous secondary material is not in good condition (e.g., severe
rusting, apparent structural defects) or if it begins to leak, the hazardous
secondary material must be transferred from this container to a container that
is in good condition or managed in some other way that complies with the
requirements of this part.
(3)
Compatibility of hazardous secondary materials with containers. The container
must be made of or lined with materials which will not react with, and are
otherwise compatible with, the hazardous secondary material to be stored, so
that the ability of the container to contain the material is not
impaired.
(4) Management of
containers
(a) A container holding hazardous
secondary material must always be closed during storage, except when it is
necessary to add or remove the hazardous secondary material.
(b) A container holding hazardous secondary
material must not be opened, handled, or stored in a manner which may rupture
the container of cause it to leak.
(5) [Reserved].
(6) Containment
(a) Container storage areas must have a
containment system that is designed and operated in accordance with paragraph
(b) of this section.
(b) A
containment system must be designed and operated as follows:
1. A base must underlie the containers which
is free of cracks or gaps and is sufficiently impervious to contain leaks,
spills, and accumulated precipitation until the collected material is detected
and removed;
2. The base must be
sloped or the containment system must be otherwise designed and operated to
drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks, spills, or precipitation, unless
the containers are elevated or are otherwise protected from contact with
accumulated liquids;
3. The
containment system must have sufficient capacity to contain 10% of the volume
of containers or the volume of the largest container, whichever is
greater.
4. Run-on into the
containment system must be prevented unless the collection system has
sufficient excess capacity in addition to that required in paragraph (b)(3) of
this section to contain any run-on which might enter the system; and
5. Spilled or leaked material and accumulated
precipitation must be removed from the sump or collection area in as timely a
manner as is necessary to prevent overflow of the collection system.
(7) Special requirements
for ignitable or reactive hazardous secondary material. Containers holding
ignitable or reactive hazardous secondary material must be located at least 15
meters (50 feet) from the facility's property line.
(8) Special requirements for incompatible
materials.
(a) Incompatible materials must
not be placed in the same container.
(b) Hazardous secondary material must not be
placed in an unwashed container that previously held an incompatible
material.
(c) A storage container
holding a hazardous secondary material that is incompatible with any other
materials stored nearby must be separated from the other materials or protected
from them by means of a dike, berm, wall, or other device.
(9) [Reserved].
(10) Air emission standards. The
remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary
material shall manage all hazardous secondary material placed in a container in
accordance with the applicable requirements of
335-14-2-.27,
335-14-2-.28,
and
335-14-2-.29.
