Mich. Admin. Code R. 299.9615 - Tank systems
Rule 615.
(1)
Owners or operators who use tank systems to treat or store hazardous waste
shall comply with all of the requirements of 40 C.F.R. part 264, subpart J,
except as provided in subrule (4) of this rule.
(2) Owners or operators of tank systems that
are not in compliance with the containment requirements of 40 C.F.R.
§264.193 (b) to (f) shall do all of the following until either the tank
system is brought into compliance with the standards of 40 C.F.R. §264.193
(a) or until a variance is obtained as provided by 40 C.F.R. §264.193 (h):
(a) Ensure that aboveground tank systems that
are used for the treatment or storage of liquid hazardous wastes, or hazardous
wastes which could generate free liquids during storage, are located in areas
which are paved, diked, curbed, or otherwise structurally enclosed so as to be
able to contain not less than 100% of the largest tank system within the
enclosed area. Where the hazardous wastes that are stored are incompatible with
the materials of construction of tank systems within the enclosed area, or
where the tank systems are interconnected so that a loss from one tank system
may lead to losses in other tank systems, the owner or operator shall ensure
that all tank systems are structurally enclosed so as to be able to contain not
less than 100% of the liquid portion of the material being stored in all tank
systems.
(b) For underground tank
systems that are used for the treatment or storage of liquid hazardous wastes,
or hazardous wastes that could generate free liquids, do all of the following:
(i) Provide adequate secondary containment
and a leachate collection and withdrawal system to contain any release of
hazardous wastes or hazardous waste constituents from the tank
system.
(ii) Conduct a complete
inventory of hazardous wastes in the tank system not less than twice a
month.
(iii) Conduct leachate
sampling and analysis at least once a year. If the inventories required
pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this subdivision indicate a loss of waste,
leachate sampling and analysis shall be performed within 24 hours of the
discovery of the loss.
(3) All tank systems which are put into
service after July 14, 1986, or which are upgraded pursuant to the provisions
of 40 C.F.R. §264.193 shall be assessed in accordance with the provisions
of 40 C.F.R. §264.192 (a) (3) and provided with the necessary corrosion
protection as determined pursuant to the assessment.
(4) All tank systems shall be designed,
constructed, operated, and maintained in compliance with the requirements of R
29.5101 to R 29.5504 pursuant to the provisions of act 207.
(5) Owners or operators shall label tank
systems in accordance with the provisions of NFPA standard no. 704.
(6) The director may waive the interim
secondary containment requirements of subrule (2) of this rule for wastewater
treatment units and elementary neutralization units based upon an assessment of
the hydrogeological aspects of the site with respect to the provisions of part
31 of the act, the nature and volume of the waste treated or stored, and the
location and nature of the facility.
(7) NFPA standard no. 704 is adopted by
reference in R 299.11002. The provisions of 40 C.F.R. part 264, subpart J, are
adopted by reference in R 299.11003. For the purposes of this adoption, the
word "director" shall replace the words "regional administrator" and
"administrator" and the words "operating license application" shall replace the
words "part B."
