Section 11-268-50 - Prohibitions on storage of restricted wastes
(a) Except as provided in this section, the storage of hazardous wastes restricted from land disposal under subchapter C of this chapter or RCRA section 3004 ( 42 U.S.C. 6924) (1984) is prohibited, unless the following conditions are met:
(1) A generator stores such wastes in tanks, containers, or containment buildings on-site 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 section 11-262-34 and chapters 11-264 and 11-265.
(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:
(i) Each container is clearly marked to identify its contents and the date each period of accumulation begins;
(ii) Each tank is clearly marked with a description of its contents, the quantity of each hazardous waste received, and the date each period of accumulation begins, or such information for each tank is recorded and maintained in the operating record at that facility. Regardless of whether the tank itself is marked, an owner/operator must comply with the operating record requirements specified in section 11-264-73 or 11-265-73.
(3) A transporter stores manifested shipments of such wastes at a transfer facility for ten days or less.
(b) An owner/operator of a treatment, storage or disposal facility may store such wastes for up to one year unless the department can demonstrate that such storage was not solely for the purpose of accumulation of such quantities of hazardous waste as are necessary to facilitate proper recovery, treatment, or disposal.
(c) An owner/operator of a treatment, storage or disposal facility may store such wastes beyond one year; however, the owner/operator bears the burden of proving that such storage was solely for the purpose of accumulation of such quantities of hazardous waste as are necessary to facilitate proper recovery, treatment, or disposal.
(d) If a generator's waste is exempt from a prohibition on the type of land disposal utilized for the waste (for example, a national capacity variance under Subpart C of 40 CFR 268), the prohibition in subsection (a) does not apply during the period of such exemption.
(e) The prohibition in subsection (a) does not apply to hazardous wastes that meet the treatment standards specified under sections 11-268-41, 11-268-42, and 11-268-43, or, where treatment standards have not been specified, is in compliance with the applicable prohibitions specified in section 11-268-32 or RCRA section 3004 ( 42 U.S.C. 6924) (1984).
(f) Liquid hazardous wastes containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at concentrations greater than or equal to fifty ppm must be stored at a facility that meets the requirements of 40 CFR 761.65(b) and must be removed from storage and treated or disposed as required by this chapter within one year of the date when such wastes are first placed into storage. The provisions of subsection (c) do not apply to such PCB wastes prohibited under section 11-268-32.
