Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
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.
