(2) Demonstrate the length of time that the waste has been accumulated from the date it becomes a waste by:

b. Marking or labeling each individual item of universal waste with the date it became a waste or was received;

c. Maintaining an inventory system on-site that identifies the date each universal waste became a waste or was received;

e. Placing the universal waste in a specific accumulation area and identifying the earliest date that any universal waste in the area became a waste or was received; or

f. Any other method that clearly demonstrates the length of time that the universal waste has been accumulated from the date it becomes a waste or is received.

(b) A universal waste handler may accumulate universal waste for longer than one year from the date the universal waste becomes a waste or is received only if:
