Subpart I_Use and Management of Containers
Sec. 265.177 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. 265.17(b) is complied with.
(b) Hazardous waste must not be placed in an unwashed container
that
previously held an incompatible waste or material (see appendix
V for
examples), unless Sec. 265.17(b) is complied with.
(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

gaseous
emissions, 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.] |
