				  conditions in a container. The container shall be closed, structurally sound,
				  compatible with the contents of the battery and shall lack evidence of leakage,
				  spillage or damage that could cause leakage under reasonably foreseeable
				  conditions.
(b) A small quantity
				  handler of universal waste may conduct any of the following activities as long
