Mich. Admin. Code R. 285.641.13 - Storage of bulk dry fertilizer
Rule 13.
(1) A
storage facility shall store and handle dry fertilizer materials in a manner to
prevent contamination by minimizing losses to the air, surface water,
groundwater, or subsoil.
(2) A
storage facility shall store nonfluid fertilizers inside a sound structure or
device that has a cover or roof top, sidewalls, and a base sufficient to
prevent contact with precipitation and surface waters. If bulk dry fertilizer
is stored outdoors, the storage facility shall place the dry fertilizer on a
ground cover that is sufficiently impermeable to prevent seepage or runoff and
shall completely cover the dry fertilizer with a tarpaulin or other suitable
covering to prevent contact with precipitation and surface water.
(3) A storage facility shall conduct all
loading, unloading, mixing, and handling of dry fertilizer at the storage
facility on a paved impermeable surface of a size and design that will contain
the fertilizer and allow for the collection of spilled material to be recycled,
applied at agronomic rates, or disposed of in a manner approved by the
department.
(4) A storage facility
shall use containment devices, structures, or techniques to minimize the
emission of dust and vapors beyond the facility boundaries.
(5) A facility that is placed in service
after the effective date of this rule shall immediately comply with this rule.
A facility that is in service before the effective date of this rule has 2
years to comply with this rule.
