Ohio Administrative Code|Rule 3745-52-232 | Conditions for generators that manage hazardous waste from an episodic event.

                                                
(A) Very small quantity generator. A very
		  small quantity generator may maintain the generator's existing generator
		  category for hazardous waste generated during an episodic event provided that
		  the generator complies with all of the following conditions:
(1) The very small
			 quantity generator is limited to one episodic event per calendar year, unless a
			 petition is granted under rule 3745-52-233 of the Administrative
			 Code.
(2) Notification. The
			 very small quantity generator shall notify Ohio EPA no later than thirty
			 calendar days prior to initiating a planned episodic event using Ohio EPA form
			 9029. In the event of an unplanned episodic event, the generator shall notify
			 Ohio EPA within seventy-two hours after the unplanned event via telephone,
			 email, or fax and subsequently submit Ohio EPA form 9029. The generator shall
			 include the start date and end date of the episodic event, the reason for the
			 event, and types and estimated quantities of hazardous waste expected to be
			 generated as a result of the episodic event, and shall identify a facility
			 contact and emergency coordinator with twenty-four-hour telephone access to
			 discuss the notification submittal or respond to an emergency in compliance
			 with paragraph (B)(9)(a) of rule 3745-52-16 of the Administrative
			 Code.
(3) U.S. EPA
			 identification number. The very small quantity generator shall have a U.S. EPA
			 identification number or obtain a U.S. EPA identification number using Ohio EPA
			 form 9029.
(4) Accumulation. A very
			 small quantity generator is prohibited from accumulating hazardous waste
			 generated from an episodic event on drip pads and in containment buildings.
			 When accumulating hazardous waste in containers and tanks, all of the following
			 conditions apply:
(a) Containers. A very small quantity generator
				accumulating in containers shall mark or label the containers with the
				following:
(i) The words
				  "Episodic Hazardous Waste."
(ii) An indication of the
				  hazards of the contents [examples include, but are not limited to, the
				  applicable hazardous waste characteristic (i.e., ignitable, corrosive,
				  reactive, toxic); hazard communication consistent with the department of
				  transportation requirements at 49 C.F.R. Part 172 subpart E (labeling) or
				  subpart F (placarding); a hazard statement or pictogram consistent with the
				  occupational safety and health administration hazard communication standard at
				  29 C.F.R. 1910.1200; or a chemical hazard label consistent with the national
				  fire protection association code 704].
(iii) The date upon which
				  the episodic event began, clearly visible for inspection on each
				  container.
(b) Tanks. A very small quantity generator accumulating
				episodic hazardous waste in tanks shall do all of the following:
(i) Mark or label the
				  tank with the words "Episodic Hazardous Waste."
(ii) Mark or label the
				  tanks with an indication of the hazards of the contents [examples include, but
				  are not limited to, the applicable hazardous waste characteristic (i.e.,
				  ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic); hazard communication consistent with
				  the department of transportation requirements at 49 C.F.R. Part 172 subpart E
				  (labeling) or subpart F (placarding); a hazard statement or pictogram
				  consistent with the occupational safety and sealth administration hazard
				  communication standard at 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200; or a chemical hazard label
				  consistent with the national fire protection association code
				  704].
(iii) Use inventory logs,
				  monitoring equipment or other records to identify the date upon which each
				  episodic event begins.
(iv) Keep on-site and
				  readily available for inspections the inventory logs or records with the
				  information required in paragraph (A)(4)(b) of this rule.
(c) Hazardous waste shall be managed in a manner that
				minimizes the possibility of a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste
				or hazardous waste constituents to the air, soil, or water, including the
				following:
(i) Containers shall be
				  in good condition and compatible with the hazardous waste being accumulated
				  therein. Containers shall be kept closed except to add or remove
				  waste.
(ii) Tanks shall be in
				  good condition and compatible with the hazardous waste accumulated therein.
				  Tanks shall have procedures in place to prevent the overflow (e.g., be equipped
				  with a means to stop inflow with systems such as a waste feed cutoff system or
				  bypass system to a standby tank when hazardous waste is continuously fed into
				  the tank). Tanks shall be inspected at least once each operating day to ensure
				  all applicable discharge control equipment, such as waste feed cutoff systems,
				  bypass systems, and drainage systems are in good working order and to ensure
				  the tank is operated according to the tank's design by reviewing the data
				  gathered from monitoring equipment such as pressure and temperature gauges from
				  the inspection.
(5) The very small
			 quantity generator shall comply with the hazardous waste manifest rules
			 3745-52-20 to 3745-52-27 of the Administrative Code when the very small
			 quantity generator sends the very small quantity generator's episodic
			 event hazardous waste off-site to a "designated facility," as defined
			 in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code.
(6) The very small
			 quantity generator has up to sixty calendar days from the start of the episodic
			 event to manifest and send the very small quantity generator's hazardous
			 waste generated from the episodic event to a "designated facility,"
			 as defined in rule 3745-50-10 of the Administrative Code.
(7) Very small quantity
			 generators shall maintain all of the following records for three years after
			 the end date of the episodic event:
(a) Beginning and end dates of the episodic
				event.
(b) A description of the episodic event.
(c)  A description of the types and quantities of hazardous
				wastes generated during the event.
(d) A description of how the hazardous waste was managed as
				well as the name of the RCRA-designated facility that received the hazardous
				waste.
(e) Names of hazardous waste transporters.
(f) An approval letter from Ohio EPA if the generator
				petitioned to conduct one additional episodic event per calendar
				year.
(B) Small quantity generators. A small
		  quantity generator may maintain the small quantity generator's existing
		  generator category during an episodic event provided that the small quantity
		  generator complies with the following conditions:
(1) The small quantity
			 generator is limited to one episodic event per calendar year unless a petition
			 is granted under rule 3745-52-233 of the Administrative Code.
(2) Notification. The
			 small quantity generator shall notify Ohio EPA no later than thirty calendar
			 days prior to initiating a planned episodic event using Ohio EPA form 9029. In
			 the event of an unplanned episodic event, the small quantity generator shall
			 notify Ohio EPA within seventy-two hours after the unplanned event via
			 telephone, email, or fax, and subsequently submit Ohio EPA form 9029. The small
			 quantity generator shall include the start date and end date of the episodic
			 event, the reason for the event, types and estimated quantities of hazardous
			 wastes expected to be generated as a result of the episodic event, and identify
			 a facility contact and emergency coordinator with twenty-four-hour telephone
			 access to discuss the notification submittal or respond to
			 emergency.
