								Rules 3745-69-40 to
			 3745-69-45 of the Administrative Code apply to owners and operators of
			 facilities that use new or existing drip pads to convey treated wood drippage,
			 precipitation, or surface water run-on to an associated collection
			 system. Existing drip pads are those constructed before
			 September 2, 1997, and those for which the owner or
			 operator has generated a design and has entered into binding financial or other
			 agreements for construction prior to September 2,
			 1997. All other drip pads are new drip pads. The requirement at paragraph
			 (B)(3) of rule
			 3745-69-43
			 of the Administrative Code to install a leak collection system applies to only
			 those drip pads that are constructed after September 2,
			 1997 except for those constructed after September 2,
			 1997 for which the owner or operator has a design and has entered into
			 binding financial or other agreements for construction prior to
			 September 2, 1997.
(B) The owner or operator of any drip pad
			 that is inside or under a structure that provides protection from precipitation
			 so that neither run-off nor run-on is generated is not subject to regulation
			 under paragraph (E) or (F) of rule
			 3745-69-43
			 of the Administrative Code, as appropriate.
(C)
								Rules 3745-69-40 to
			 3745-69-45 of the Administrative Code are not applicable to the management of
			 infrequent and incidental drippage in storage yards provided that the owner or
			 operator maintains and complies with a written contingency plan that describes

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-69 - Miscellaneous Treatment Methods › Section 3745-69-43 - Design and operating requirements for drip pads

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Drip pads
			 must:
(1) Be constructed of non-earthen materials,
			 excluding wood and non-structurally supported asphalt;
(2) Be sloped to free-drain treated wood
			 drippage, rain and other waters, or solutions of drippage and water or other
			 wastes to the associated collection system;
(3) Have a curb or berm around the perimeter;
(4)
(a) Have a hydraulic conductivity of less
			 than or equal to 1 x 10-7 centimeters per second,
			 e.g., existing concrete pads must be sealed, coated, or covered with a surface
			 material with a hydraulic conductivity of less than or equal to 1 x
			 10-7 centimeters per second such that the entire
			 surface where drippage occurs or may run across is capable of containing such
			 drippage and mixtures of drippage and precipitation, materials, or other wastes
			 while being routed to an associated collection system. This surface material
			 must be
			 maintained free of cracks and gaps that could adversely affect its hydraulic
			 conductivity, and the material must be chemically compatible with the preservatives
			 that contact the drip pad. The requirements of this provision apply only to
			 existing drip pads and those drip pads for which the owner or operator elects
			 to comply with paragraph(B) of rule
			 3745-69-42
			 of the Administrative Code instead of paragraph(A)of rule
			 3745-69-42
			 of the Administrative Code.
(b) The
			 owner or operator must obtain and keep on file at the facility a written
			 assessment of the drip pad, reviewed and certified by
			  qualified  professional engineer that attests to
			 the results of the evaluation. The assessment must be
			 reviewed, updated, and recertified annually. The evaluation
			 must
			 document the extent to which the drip pad meets the design and operating
			 standards of this rule, except for paragraph (B) of this rule.
(5) Be of sufficient structural
			 strength and thickness to prevent failure due to physical contact, climatic
			 conditions, the stress of installation, and the stress of daily operations,
			 e.g., variable and moving loads such as vehicle traffic, movement of wood, etc.
[Comment: Ohio EPA will generally consider applicable
				standards established by professional organizations generally recognized by
				industry such as the American concrete institute (ACI) and the American society
				of testing materials (ASTM) in judging the structural integrity requirement of
				paragraph (A)(5) of this rule.]
