Section 33-24-05-1083 - Containment1. Container storage areas must have a containment system that is designed and operated in accordance with subsection 2, except as provided otherwise in subsection 3.2. The containment system must be designed and operated as follows: a. A base must underlie the containers that is free of cracks or gaps and is sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills, and accumulated precipitation until the collected material is detected and removed.b. The base must be sloped or the containment system, must be otherwise designed and operated to drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks, spills, or precipitation, unless the containers are elevated or are otherwise protected from contact with accumulated liquids.c. The containment system must have sufficient capacity to contain ten percent of the volume of containers, or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. This requirement does not apply to containers that do not contain free liquids.d. Run-on into the containment system must be prevented unless the collection system has sufficient excess capacity, in addition to that required in subdivision c, to contain the liquid.e. Spilled or leaked waste and accumulated precipitation must be removed from the sump or collection area as promptly as is necessary to prevent overflow of the collection system.3. Storage areas that store containers holding only wastes with no free liquids need not have a containment system as defined in subsection 2, except as provided by subsection 4, if: a. The storage area is sloped or is otherwise designed and operated to drain and remove liquid resulting from precipitation; orb. The containers are elevated or are otherwise protected from contact with accumulated liquid.4. Storage areas that store containers holding F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027 wastes that do not contain free liquids must have a containment system as defined by subsection 2.N.D.
