Ohio Admin. Code 901:5-2-05 - Operations
(A) During all
operations involving the transferring or mixing of liquid fertilizer carried on
at a storage facility, a suitable means of containment including, but not
limited to, collection pans, pads, and dikes shall be placed under each valve,
coupling, and pump located outside a secondary containment facility. Each
collection device must be able to contain any foreseeable leaks or spills which
may occur during transferring or mixing of liquid fertilizer.
(B) An individual familiar with the operation
of the mechanical appurtenances in use at the facility and familiar with the
procedures to be used for control and recovery of discharges shall be present
during all transfer and mixing operations.
(C) All transfer and mixing operations shall
be stopped in the event a discharge occurs and may not be resumed until the
cause of the discharge is corrected and all discharges are recovered.
(D) All wash water and rinsates
from equipment cleaning and fertilizer handling or any other operation carried
on at a storage facility shall be collected using a containment method, device,
or structure adequately sized to prevent spillage onto unprotected areas. No
collected liquid or material shall be discharged to any watercourse, storm
sewer, field tile, or sanitary sewer. All rainwater collected within the diked
area must be shown not to be in violation of current water quality standards
before it can be disposed of through field tile, sewer, or any watercourse.
(E) All permanent storage vessels
which are or will be out of service for more than six months due to
deterioration or leaks, or out of service for more than two years for any
reason shall be thoroughly cleaned, all hatches shall be left open, and valves
and connections shall be severed and sealed.
(F) No permanent storage vessel shall be
filled with any liquids other than those which are compatible with the
materials used in the construction of the permanent storage vessel nor filled
beyond the capacity for which it is designed, taking into account the density
of the liquid being stored and thermal expansion during storage.
(G) Non-pressurized nurse tanks shall not be
used for storage of liquid fertilizer for more than thirty consecutive days.
(H) No person shall fill or cause
to be filled any permanent storage vessel which fails to meet the requirements
of Chapter 901:5-2 of the Administrative Code.
