Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-52 - Generator Standards › Section 3745-52-15 - Satellite accumulation area requirements for small quantity generators and large quantity generators

Current through all regulations passed and
			 filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								A generator may
			 accumulate as much as fifty-five gallons of non-acute hazardous waste and
			 either one quart of liquid acute hazardous waste listed in rule
			 3745-51-31
			 or paragraph (E) of rule
			 3745-51-33
			 of the Administrative Code or one kilogram (kg) ( 2.2 pounds) of solid acute
			 hazardous waste listed in rule
			 3745-51-31
			 or paragraph (E) of rule
			 3745-51-33
			 of the Administrative Code in containers at or near any point of generation
			 where wastes initially accumulate which is under the control of the operator of
			 the process generating the waste, without a permit or permit by rule and
			 without complying with Chapters 3745-50, 3745-54 to 3745-57, 3745-65 to
			 3745-69, 3745-205, 3745-256, and 3745-266 of the Administrative Code, provided
			 that 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 paragraph (B) of rule 3745-52-16 or paragraph
			 (A) of rule 3745-52-17 of the Administrative Code, except as required in
			 paragraphs (A)(7) and (A)(8) of rule 3745-52-15 of the Administrative Code. The
			 conditions for exemption for satellite accumulation are as follows:
(1)
									If a container
			 holding hazardous waste is not in good condition, or if the container begins to
			 leak, the generator shall 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 paragraph (B) of rule 3745-52-16 or paragraph (A)
			 of rule 3745-52-17 of the Administrative Code.
(2)
									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.
(3)
									Special standards for incompatible wastes.
(a)
										Incompatible
			 wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials, (see appendix to rule
			 3745-66-99
			 of the Administrative Code for examples) shall not be placed in the same
			 container, unless paragraph (B) of rule
			 3745-65-17
			 of the Administrative Code is complied with.
(b)
										Hazardous waste
			 shall not be placed in an unwashed container that previously held an
			 incompatible waste or material (see appendix to rule
			 3745-66-99
			 of the Administrative Code for examples), unless paragraph (B) of rule
			 3745-65-17
			 of the Administrative Code is complied with.
(c)
										A container
			 holding a hazardous waste that is incompatible with any waste or other
			 materials accumulated nearby in other containers shall be separated from the
			 other materials or protected from the incompatible waste or material by any
			 practical means.
(4)
									A container
			 holding hazardous waste shall be closed at all times during accumulation,
			 except when either of the following occur:
(a)
										When adding,
			 removing, or consolidating waste.
(b)
										When temporary
			 venting of a container is necessary due to either of the following:
(i)
											For the proper
			 operation of equipment.
(ii)
											To prevent dangerous situations, such as build-up of
			 extreme pressure.
(5)
									A generator shall
			 mark or label the generator's container with all of the following:
(a)
										The words
			 "Hazardous Waste."
(b)
										An indication of the hazards of the contents [examples
			 include, but are not limited to, the applicable hazardous waste characteristic
			 (i.e., ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic); hazard communication consistent
			 with the department of transportation requirements at 49 C.F.R. Part 172
			 subpart E (labeling) or subpart F (placarding); a hazard statement or pictogram
			 consistent with the occupational safety and health administration hazard
			 communication standard at
			 29 C.F.R.
			 1910.1200; or a chemical hazard label
			 consistent with the national fire protection association code
			 704].
(6)
									A generator who accumulates either acute hazardous
			 waste listed in rule
			 3745-51-31
			 or paragraph (E) of rule
			 3745-51-33
			 of the Administrative Code or non-acute hazardous waste in excess of the
			 amounts listed in paragraph (A) of this rule at or near any point of generation
			 shall do the following:
(a)
										Within three consecutive calendar days, comply with the
			 applicable central accumulation area requirements in paragraph (B) of rule
			 3745-52-16 or paragraph (A) of rule 3745-52-17 of the Administrative Code;
			 or
(b)
										Remove the excess from the satellite accumulation area
			 within three consecutive calendar days to one of the following:
(i)
											A central
			 accumulation area operated in accordance with the applicable requirements in
			 paragraph (B) of rule 3745-52-16 or paragraph (A) of rule 3745-52-17 of the
			 Administrative Code.
(ii)
											An on-site permit by rule or permitted treatment,
			 storage, or disposal facility.
(iii)
											An off-site
			 designated facility; and
(c)
										During the
			 three-consecutive-calendar-day period, the generator shall continue to comply
			 with paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(5) of this rule. The generator shall mark or
			 label the container holding the excess accumulation of hazardous waste with the
			 date the excess amount began accumulating.
(7)
									All satellite
			 accumulation areas operated by a small quantity generator shall meet the
			 preparedness and prevention requirements of paragraph (B)(8) of rule 3745-52-16
			 and emergency procedures of paragraph (B)(9) of rule 3745-52-16 of the
			 Administrative Code.
(8)
									All satellite accumulation areas operated by a large
			 quantity generator shall meet the preparedness, prevention, and emergency
			 procedures in rules 3745-52-250 to 3745-52-265 of the Administrative
			 Code.
