				  the storage of hazardous wastes restricted from land disposal under subpart C
				  of this part is prohibited, unless the following conditions are met:
(1) A generator stores such wastes in tanks,
				  containers, or containment buildings onsite solely for the purpose of the
				  accumulation of such quantities of hazardous waste as necessary to facilitate
				  proper recovery, treatment, or disposal and the generator complies with the
				  requirements in R.61-79.262.16 and 262.17 and R.61-79.264 and 265.
(2) An owner/operator of a hazardous waste
				  treatment, storage, or disposal facility stores such wastes in tanks,
				  containers, or containment buildings solely for the purpose of the accumulation
				  of such quantities of hazardous waste as necessary to facilitate proper
				  recovery, treatment, or disposal and: (amended 11/90, 12/92)
(i) Each container is clearly marked to
				  identify its contents and with:
(A) The words
				  "Hazardous Waste";

				  applicable EPA hazardous waste number(s) (EPA hazardous waste codes) in
				  R.61-79.261 subparts C and D; or use a nationally recognized electronic system,
				  such as bar coding, to identify the EPA hazardous waste number(s);
(C) An indication of the hazards of the
				  contents (examples include, but are not limited to, the applicable hazardous
				  waste characteristics(s) (i.e., ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic); hazard
				  communication consistent with the Department of Transportation requirements at
				  49 CFR part 172 subpart E (labeling) or subpart F (placarding); a hazard
				  statement or pictogram consistent with the Occupational Safety and Health

				  These separate regulations are located in R.61-79.264, 266, and 268.
(4) A healthcare facility accumulates such
				  wastes in containers on-site solely for the purpose of the accumulation of such

(5) A reverse distributor
				  accumulates such wastes in containers on-site solely for the purpose of the
				  accumulation of such quantities of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals as necessary
				  to facilitate proper recovery, treatment, or disposal and the reverse
				  distributor complies with section 266.510 of this chapter.
