Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-52 - Generator Standards › Section 3745-52-232 - Conditions for generators that manage hazardous waste from an episodic event

Current through all regulations passed and filed
			 through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Very small quantity generator. A very small quantity
			 generator may maintain the generator's existing generator category for
			 hazardous waste generated during an episodic event provided that the generator
			 complies with all of the following conditions:
(1)
									The very small
			 quantity generator is limited to one episodic event per calendar year, unless a
			 petition is granted under rule 3745-52-233 of the Administrative
			 Code.
(2)
									Notification. The very small quantity generator shall
			 notify Ohio EPA no later than thirty calendar days prior to initiating a
			 planned episodic event using Ohio EPA form 9029. In the event of an unplanned
			 episodic event, the generator shall notify Ohio EPA within seventy-two hours
			 after the unplanned event via telephone, email, or fax and subsequently submit
			 Ohio EPA form 9029. The generator shall include the start date and end date of
			 the episodic event, the reason for the event, and types and estimated
			 quantities of hazardous waste expected to be generated as a result of the
			 episodic event, and shall identify a facility contact and emergency coordinator
			 with twenty-four-hour telephone access to discuss the notification submittal or
			 respond to an emergency in compliance with paragraph (B)(9)(a) of rule
			 3745-52-16 of the Administrative Code.
(3)
									U.S. EPA
			 identification number. The very small quantity generator shall have a U.S. EPA
			 identification number or obtain a U.S. EPA identification number using Ohio EPA
			 form 9029.
(4)
									Accumulation. A very small quantity generator is
			 prohibited from accumulating hazardous waste generated from an episodic event
			 on drip pads and in containment buildings. When accumulating hazardous waste in
			 containers and tanks, all of the following conditions apply:
(a)
										Containers. A
			 very small quantity generator accumulating in containers shall mark or label
			 the containers with the following:
(i)
											The words "Episodic Hazardous Waste."
(ii)
											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].
(iii)
											The date upon which the episodic event began, clearly
			 visible for inspection on each container.
(b)
										Tanks. A very
			 small quantity generator accumulating episodic hazardous waste in tanks shall
			 do all of the following:
(i)
											Mark or label the tank with the words "Episodic
			 Hazardous Waste."
(ii)
											Mark or label the tanks with 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].
(iii)
											Use inventory logs, monitoring equipment or other
			 records to identify the date upon which each episodic event
			 begins.
(iv)
											Keep on-site and readily available for inspections the
			 inventory logs or records with the information required in paragraph (A)(4)(b)
			 of this rule.
(c)
										Hazardous waste shall be managed in a manner that
			 minimizes the possibility of a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste
			 or hazardous waste constituents to the air, soil, or water, including the
			 following:
(i)
											Containers shall be in good condition and compatible with
			 the hazardous waste being accumulated therein. Containers shall be kept closed
			 except to add or remove waste.
(ii)
											Tanks shall be
			 in good condition and compatible with the hazardous waste accumulated therein.
			 Tanks shall have procedures in place to prevent the overflow (e.g., be equipped
			 with a means to stop inflow with systems such as a waste feed cutoff system or
			 bypass system to a standby tank when hazardous waste is continuously fed into
			 the tank). Tanks shall be inspected at least once each operating day to ensure
			 all applicable discharge control equipment, such as waste feed cutoff systems,
			 bypass systems, and drainage systems are in good working order and to ensure
			 the tank is operated according to the tank's design by reviewing the data
			 gathered from monitoring equipment such as pressure and temperature gauges from
			 the inspection.
(5)
									The very small
			 quantity generator shall comply with the hazardous waste manifest rules
			 3745-52-20
			 to
			 3745-52-27
			 of the Administrative Code when the very small quantity generator sends the
			 very small quantity generator's episodic event hazardous waste off-site to a
			 "designated facility," as defined in rule
			 3745-50-10
			 of the Administrative Code.
(6)
									The very small
			 quantity generator has up to sixty calendar days from the start of the episodic
			 event to manifest and send the very small quantity generator's hazardous waste
			 generated from the episodic event to a "designated facility," as defined in
			 rule
			 3745-50-10
			 of the Administrative Code.
(7)
									Very small
			 quantity generators shall maintain all of the following records for three years
			 after the end date of the episodic event:
(a)
										Beginning and end
			 dates of the episodic event.
(b)
										A description of
			 the episodic event.
(c)
										A description of the types and quantities of hazardous
			 wastes generated during the event.
(d)
										A description of
			 how the hazardous waste was managed as well as the name of the RCRA-designated
			 facility that received the hazardous waste.
(e)
										Names of
			 hazardous waste transporters.
(f)
										An approval
			 letter from Ohio EPA if the generator petitioned to conduct one additional
			 episodic event per calendar year.
