Section 335.585 - General Inspection Requirements(a) The owner or operator must inspect the facility for compliance with the site operating plan.(b) The owner or operator must develop and follow a written schedule for inspecting monitoring equipment, safety and emergency equipment, and operating and structural equipment (such as dikes and sump pumps) that are important to preventing, detecting, or responding to environmental or human health hazards. (1) The owner or operator must maintain the schedule at the facility.(2) The schedule must identify the types of problems (e.g., malfunctions or deterioration) that are to be looked for during the inspection (e.g., inoperative sump pump, leaking fitting, or eroding dike).(3) The frequency of inspection may vary for the items on the schedule. However, the frequency should be based on the rate of deterioration of the equipments and the probability of an environmental or human health incident if the deterioration, malfunction, or any operator error goes undetected between inspections. Areas subject to spills, such as loading and unloading areas, must be inspected daily when in use. At a minimum, the inspection schedule must include the items and frequencies required in 40 Code of Federal Regulations §264.303 for hazardous waste landfills.(c) The owner or operator must remedy any deterioration or malfunction of equipment or structures that the inspection reveals on a schedule that ensures that the problem does not lead to an environmental or human health hazard. Where a hazard is imminent or has already occurred, remedial action must be taken immediately.(d) The owner or operator must record inspections in an inspection log or summary, and retain these records in accordance with the requirements of § 335.113(d) of this title (relating to Reporting of Emergency Situations by Emergency Coordinator). At a minimum, these records must include the date and time of the inspection, the name of the inspector, a notation of the observations made, and the date and nature of any repairs or other remedial actions.30 Tex.
