Mich. Admin. Code R. 299.9305 - Satellite accumulation area requirements for small and large quantity generators
Rule 305.
(1) A
generator may accumulate as much as 55 gallons of non-acute hazardous waste or
either 1 quart of liquid acute hazardous waste or severely toxic hazardous
waste or 1 kilogram of solid acute hazardous waste or severely toxic waste in
containers at or near any point of generation where wastes initially accumulate
and that is under the control of the operator of the process that generates the
waste, without an operating license issued under part 111 of the act, MCL
324.11101 to 324.11153, and without complying with parts 5 to 8 of these rules,
if all of the conditions for exemption in this rule are met. A generator may
comply with the conditions for exemption in this rule instead of complying with
the conditions for exemption in
R
299.9306(1)(b) to (r) or
R
299.9307(1), except as required in
this subrule and subrule (2) of this rule. The conditions for exemption for
satellite accumulation include all of the following requirements:
(a) If a container holding hazardous waste is
not in good condition, or if it begins to leak, the generator immediately
transfer the hazardous waste from this container to a container that is in good
condition and does not leak, or immediately transfer and manage the waste in a
central accumulation area operated in compliance with
R
299.9306(1)(b) to (r) or
R
299.9307(1).
(b) The generator shall use a container made
of or lined with materials that will not react with, and are otherwise
compatible with, the hazardous waste to be accumulated, so that the ability of
the container to contain the waste is not impaired.
(c) All of the following special standards
for incompatible wastes:
(i) Incompatible
wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials, must not be placed in the same
container unless the requirements of
40
CFR 265.17(b) are
met.
(ii) Hazardous waste must not
be placed in an unwashed container that previously held an incompatible waste
or material unless the requirements of
40
CFR 265.17(b) are
met.
(iii) A container holding a
hazardous waste that is incompatible with any waste or other materials
accumulated nearby in other containers must be separated from the other
materials or protected from them by any practical means.
(d) A container holding hazardous waste must
be closed at all times during accumulation, except to add, remove, or
consolidate waste or when temporary venting of a container is necessary for the
proper operating of equipment or to prevent dangerous situations, such as
build-up of extreme pressure.
(e) A
generator shall mark or label its container with both the following:
(i) The words "Hazardous Waste."
(ii) A description of the waste or the
hazardous waste number, and an indication of the hazards of the contents. The
indication of the hazards of the contents may include the applicable hazardous
waste characteristic(s), the hazard communication consistent with 49 CFR part
172, subpart E or F, a hazard statement or pictogram consistent with
29 CFR
1910.1200, or a chemical hazard label
consistent with the NFPA standard no. 704.
(2) A generator who accumulates either
non-acute hazardous waste, acute hazardous waste, or severely toxic hazardous
waste in excess of the amounts listed in subrule (1) of this rule at or near
any point of generation shall do 1 or more of the following with respect to
that amount of excess waste:
(a) Comply with
the applicable central accumulation area requirements in
R
299.9306(1)(b) to (r) or
R
299.9307(1) within 3 consecutive
calendar days.
(b) Remove the
excess waste from the satellite accumulation area within 3 consecutive calendar
days to 1 or more of the following:
(i) A
central accumulation area operated in accordance with the applicable
requirements of
R
299.9306(1)(b) to (r) or
R
299.9307(1).
(ii) An on-site interim status or licensed
treatment, storage, or disposal facility.
(iii) An off-site designated
facility.
(c) During the
3-consecutive-calendar-day period, continue to comply with subrules (1)(a) to
(c) of this rule. The generator shall mark or label each container holding the
excess accumulation of hazardous waste with the date the excess amount began
accumulating.
(3) All
satellite accumulation areas operated by a small quantity generator shall meet
the provisions of
R
299.9306(1)(f) to (r).
(4) All satellite accumulation areas operated
by a large quantity generator shall meet the provisions of 40 CFR part 262,
subpart M.
