(A) Container storage areas shall have a
		  containment system that is designed and operated in accordance with paragraph
		  (B) of this rule, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (C) of this
		  rule.
(B) A containment system shall be
		  designed and operated as follows:
(1) A base shall underlie
			 the containers which is free of cracks or gaps and sufficiently impervious to
			 contain leaks, spills, and accumulated precipitation until the collected
			 material is detected and removed;
(2) The base shall be
			 sloped or the containment system shall 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;
(3) The containment
			 system shall have sufficient capacity to contain ten per cent of the volume of
			 containers or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater.
			 Containers that do not contain free liquids need not be considered in this
			 determination;
(4) Run-on into the
			 containment system shall be prevented unless the collection system has
			 sufficient excess capacity in addition to that required in paragraph (B)(3) of
			 this rule to contain any run-on which might enter the system; and
(5) Spilled or leaked
			 waste and accumulated precipitation shall be removed from the sump or
			 collection area in as timely a manner as is necessary to prevent overflow of
			 the collection system.
[Comment: If the collected material is a
			 hazardous waste under Chapter 3745-51 of the Administrative Code, such material
			 shall be managed as a hazardous waste in accordance with all applicable
			 requirements of Chapters 3745-52, 3745-53, 3745-54 to 3745-57, 3745-65 to
			 3745-69, 3745-205, 3745-256, and 3745-266 of the Administrative Code. If the
			 collected material is discharged through a point source to waters of the United
			 States, the collected material is subject to the requirements of Section 402 of
			 the Clean Water Act.]
(C) Storage areas that store containers
		  holding only wastes that do not contain free liquids need not have a
		  containment system described in paragraph (B) of this rule, except as provided
		  by paragraph (D) of this rule or provided that:
(1) The storage area is
			 sloped or is otherwise designed and operated to drain and remove liquid
			 resulting from precipitation; or
(2) The containers are
			 elevated or are otherwise protected from contact with accumulated
			 liquid.
(D) Storage areas that store containers
		  holding the wastes listed in paragraph (D)(1) of this rule that do not contain
		  free liquids shall have a containment system described in paragraph (B) of this
		  rule:
(1) F020, F021, F022,
			 F023, F026, and F027.
