Kan. Admin. Regs. § 4-13-25c - Location, design, and construction requirements of a bulk pesticide storage facility
Each owner or operator shall meet the following requirements:
(a)
(1) Each bulk pesticide storage facility
shall be designed, constructed, and maintained according to the pesticide
manufacturers' directions, instructions, or recommendations. The facility shall
be constructed of materials that contain spills, prevent runoff, and avoid
leaching of the pesticide being mixed, loaded, or unloaded. Construction
materials shall be chemically compatible with the pesticides that come in
contact with the material.
(2) Each
bulk pesticide storage facility shall be designed, constructed, and maintained
to accommodate all reasonably foreseeable loading and unloading conditions,
including the anticipated wheel load of a vehicle, and to protect appurtenances
and bulk pesticide containers against damage from operating personnel and
moving equipment through the use of flexible connections, guard rails,
barriers, and protective cages, where necessary.
(3) Asphalt shall not be used as a material
in the construction of a bulk pesticide storage facility.
(b) No bulk pesticide storage facility shall
be constructed or maintained in a flood plain unless the bulk pesticide is
stored above the base flood elevation.
(c) The floor of each bulk pesticide storage
facility shall be constructed of material that prevents the movement of
pesticide materials and moisture through the floor and shall be designed,
constructed, and maintained in a manner that allows discharges to be collected,
contained, and recovered.
(d) All
electrical equipment and wiring shall be elevated to prevent the equipment and
wiring from becoming submerged and shall be grounded to dissipate static
electricity.
(e) Both private and
public water supplies shall be protected from contamination from the bulk
pesticide storage facility.
(f)
Each bulk pesticide storage facility shall contain a mixing and loading
pad.
(g) Each bulk pesticide
storage facility shall be secured to protect against reasonably foreseeable
unauthorized access that could result in a discharge.
(h) Each bulk pesticide storage facility
shall be designed, constructed, and maintained to prevent contact of any dry
bulk pesticide with precipitation. Contact with precipitation shall be
prevented by the following:
(1) Using a
permanent cover; and
(2) placing
dry bulk pesticide on pallets or a raised concrete platform enclosed by a curb
that is at least six inches high and extends at least two feet beyond the
perimeter of the dry bulk pesticide storage area.
(i) Each bulk pesticide storage facility
shall be designed, constructed, and maintained to avoid the creation of
pesticide waste and to prevent cross-contamination of pesticides.
(j) Bulk pesticides shall not be stored or
mixed in underground containers.
