329 IAC 11.7-5-1 - Storage requirements for alternative fuels
Authority: IC 13-14-8-7; IC 13-15; IC 13-19-3
Affected: IC 13-30-2; IC 36-9-30
Sec. 1.
(a) All
registered facilities must store alternative fuels or residues in a manner that
does not threaten human health and protects the environment. The following are
examples of adequate storage:
(1) A building
that is weather tight with impervious floors.
(2) A container capable of being enclosed.
(3) A completely enclosed vehicle.
(4) Tanks.
(5) Other methods of storage that do not
threaten or harm human health or the environment and have been approved by the
commissioner.
(b)
Speculative accumulation of alternative fuel is not allowed. Facilities
registered under this article must engage in only legitimate reuse or recycling
as demonstrated by the following:
(1) The
owner or operator of the registered facility must have a plan to reuse or
recycle the alternative fuel that shows the following:
(A) Alternative fuel may be stored for
periods exceeding six (6) months if there is a demonstrated need documented at
the facility.
(B) The alternative
fuel or any residue is stored in accordance with this rule and in a manner
reflecting its value as a commodity.
(2) The registered facility must maintain
records of alternative fuel received at the facility, nonalternative fuels
burned in tons daily, and alternative fuel processed at the facility, recorded
in estimated tons in a consistent manner at least daily, and include the
following:
(A) Btu value for each waste
stream.
(B) The total amount of
residue shipped from the facility for disposal.
(3) Shipping papers and manifests as
applicable for shipments of alternative fuel and residue shipped to or from the
facility shall be maintained by the facility for a period of three (3) years.
(c) Storage, including
the retention, containment, or accumulation of alternative fuel or residue, on
a temporary basis must not:
(1) threaten or
potentially threaten human health; or
(2) impact or potentially impact the
environment.
It is a rebuttable presumption that storage of alternative fuel or any residue for more than six (6) months constitutes discarding and disposal.
(d) Any
outside container or vehicle that is used for storage must be completely closed
at the end of the operating day unless other storage provisions are approved by
the commissioner.
