Laboratories and shops are examples of satellite accumulation areas. After 90 days wastes must be transported to a permitted treatment, storage or disposal facility. Each laboratory, shop, or departmental building waste accumulation area at WSU is considered by regulatory agencies to be a satellite accumulation area. Close the container during storage, except when adding or removing waste. Allow waste from only one process per container.
Place wastes in compatible containers.
Container Labeling Mark each container with a label that clearly identifies the chemicals. See S70.40 for labeling requirements. The maximum volume of any waste that may be stored in a satellite accumulation area is 55 gallons, unless the waste is acutely hazardous. The maximum volume of acutely hazardous waste that may be stored in a satellite accumulation area is one quart. When 55 gallons of dangerous waste or one quart of acutely hazardous waste are generated, mark the date on the container label.
