Section 11-265.15 - General inspection requirements(a) The owner or operator must inspect his facility for malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors, and discharges which may be causing-or may lead to: (1) Release of hazardous waste constituents to the environment or(2) a threat to human health. The owner or operator must conduct these inspections often enough to identify problems in time to correct them before-they harm human health or the-environment.(b)(1) The owner or operator must develop and follow a written schedule-for inspecting all monitoring equipment, safety and emergency equipment, -security devices, and operating and-structural equipment (such as dikes-and sump pumps) that are import-ant to preventing, detecting, or responding-to environmental or human health hazards.(2) He must keep this schedule at the facility.(3) The schedule must identify the types of problems (e.g., malfunctions or deterioration) which are to be looked for during the inspection (e.g., inoperative sump pump, leaking fitting, eroding dike, etc.).(4) 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 equipment and the probability of an environmental or human health incident if the deterioration, malfunction, or 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 called for in §§265.174, 265.193, 265.195, 265.226, 265.260, 265.278, 265.304, 265.347, 265.377, 265.403, 265.1033, 265.1052, 265.1053, 265.1058, and 265.1084 through 265.1090, where applicable.(c) The owner or operator must remedy any deterioration or malfunction of equipment or structures which the inspection reveals on a schedule which 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. He must keep these records for at least three years from the date of inspection. 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.Haw.
