Subpart I_Use and Management of Containers
Sec. 264.177 Special requirements for incompatible wastes.
(a) Incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials
(see
appendix V for examples), must not be placed in the same container,
unless Sec. 264.17(b) is complied with.
(b) Hazardous waste must not be placed in an unwashed container
that
previously held an incompatible waste or material.
[Comment: As required by Sec. 264.13, the waste analysis plan must
include analyses needed to comply with Sec. 264.177. Also, Sec.
264.17(c) requires wastes analyses, trial tests or other documentation
to assure compliance with Sec. 264.17(b). As required by Sec. 264.73,
the owner or operator must place the results of each waste analysis
and
trial test, and any documented information, in the operating record
of
the facility.]
(c) A storage container holding a hazardous waste that is
incompatible with any waste or other materials stored nearby in
other
containers, piles, open tanks, or surface impoundments must be separated
from the other materials or protected from them by means of a dike,
berm, wall, or other device.
[Comment: The purpose of this section is to prevent fires, explosions,
gaseous emission, leaching, or other discharge of hazardous waste
or
hazardous waste constituents which could result from the mixing
of
incompatible wastes or materials if containers break or leak.] |
