N.D. Admin. Code 33-24-05-1132

Current through Supplement No. 393, July, 2024
Section 33-24-05-1132 - Requirements to prevent releases

Owners or operators must use controls and practices to ensure containment of the hazardous waste within the unit, and must, at a minimum:

1. Maintain the primary barrier to be free of significant cracks, gaps, corrosion, or other deterioration that could cause hazardous waste to be released from the primary barrier.
2. Maintain the level of the stored or treated, or both, hazardous waste within the containment walls of the unit so that the height of any containment wall is not exceeded.
3. Take measures to prevent tracking of hazardous waste out of the unit by personnel or by equipment used in handling the waste. An area must be designated to decontaminate equipment and any rinsate must be collected and properly managed.
4. Take measures to control fugitive dust emissions such that any openings (doors, windows, vents, cracks) exhibit no visible emissions (see 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, Method 22 -visual determination of fugitive emissions from material sources and smoke emissions from flares). In addition, all associated particulate collection devices (for example, fabric filter, electrostatic precipitator) must be operated and maintained with sound air pollution control practices. This state of no visible emissions must be maintained effectively at all times during routine operating and maintenance conditions, including when vehicles and personnel are entering and exiting the unit.
