A. In addition to complying with the
				  requirements of Regulation .02 of this chapter, a person seeking a CHS facility
				  permit to manage hazardous waste in tanks shall provide the Secretary with the

B. For facilities that use tanks to store or
				  treat hazardous waste, except as otherwise provided in COMAR
				  26.13.05.10 s A, the permit
				  applicant shall provide a description of design and operating procedures which
				  demonstrate compliance with requirements of all of COMAR
				  26.13.05.10 s -.10-7, including:
(1) References to design standards or other
				  available information used, or to be used, in design and construction of the
				  tank;
(2) A description of design
				  specifications including identification of construction materials and lining
				  materials, including pertinent characteristics such as corrosion or erosion
				  resistance;
(3) For each tank, the
				  dimensions, capacity, and shell thickness of the tank;
(4) A diagram of piping, instrumentation, and
				  process flow for each tank system;
(5) Description of feed systems, safety
				  cutoff, bypass systems, and pressure controls, for example, vents;
(6) A written assessment that has been
				  reviewed and certified by an independent qualified registered professional
				  engineer that attests to the structural integrity and suitability for handling
				  hazardous waste of each tank system, as required under COMAR
				  26.13.05.10 s -2 and
				  .10-3;
(7) A description of
				  materials and equipment used to provide external corrosion protection, as
				  required under COMAR
				  26.13.05.10 s
				  -3B(2)(c)(ii);
(8) For new tank
				  systems, a detailed description of how the tank system or systems will be
				  installed in compliance with COMAR
				  26.13.05.10 s
				  -3B(4)-(8);
(9) Detailed plans and
				  description of how the secondary containment system for each tank system is or
				  will be designed, constructed, and operated to meet the requirements of COMAR
				  26.13.05.10 s -4A-F;
(10) For tank systems for which a variance
				  from the requirements of COMAR
				  26.13.05.10 s -4 is sought, as
				  provided by COMAR
				  26.13.05.10 s -5:
(a) Detailed plans and engineering and
				  hydrogeologic reports, as appropriate, describing alternate design and
				  operating practices that will, in conjunction with location aspects, prevent
				  the migration of any hazardous waste or hazardous constituents into the ground
				  water or surface water during the life of the facility, or
(b) A detailed assessment of the substantial
				  present or potential hazards posed to human health or the environment should a
				  release enter the environment;
(11) A description of controls and practices
				  to prevent spills and overflows, as required by COMAR
				  26.13.05.10 s C(2); and
(12) For tank systems in which ignitable,
				  reactive, or incompatible wastes are to be stored or treated, a description of
				  how operating procedures and tank system and facility design will achieve
				  compliance with the requirements of COMAR
				  26.13.05.10 s -1A and B.
