Universal Citation: 35 IL Admin Code ยง 722.332
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) VSQGs. A VSQG may maintain its existing generator category for hazardous waste generated during an episodic event provided that the generator complies with the following conditions:
1) The VSQG is limited
to one episodic event per calendar year, unless the Agency has determined that
an additional episodic event is necessary, as provided in Section
722.333;
2) Notification. The VSQG must notify the
Agency no later than 30 calendar days prior to initiating a planned episodic
event using Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activities (Site Identification
From) (USEPA Form 8700-12). In the event of an unplanned episodic event, the
generator must notify Agency within 72 hours of the unplanned event via phone,
email, or fax and subsequently submit USEPA Form 8700-12. The generator must
include the start date and end date of the episodic event, the reasons for the
event and the types and estimated quantities of hazardous waste expected to be
generated as a result of the episodic event, and the generator must identify a
facility contact and emergency coordinator with 24-hour telephone access to
discuss the notification submittal or respond to an emergency in compliance
with Section
722.116(b)(9)(A);
BOARD NOTE: USEPA Form 8700-12 is available from the Agency, Bureau of Land (217-782-6762). It is also available on-line for download in PDF file format: www.epa.gov/hwgenerators/instructions-and-form-hazardous-waste-generators-transporters-and-treatment-storage-and.
3) USEPA Identification Number.
The VSQG must have a USEPA identification number or obtain a USEPA
identification number using USEPA Form 8700-12;
4) Accumulation. A VSQG is prohibited from
accumulating hazardous waste generated from an episodic event on drip pads or
in containment buildings. When accumulating hazardous waste in containers and
tanks the following conditions apply:
A)
Containers. A VSQG accumulating in containers must mark or label its containers
with the following:
i) The words "Episodic
Hazardous Waste";
ii) An indication
of the hazards of the contents. Examples include, but are not limited to, the
applicable hazardous waste characteristics (i.e., ignitable, corrosive,
reactive, or toxic); hazard communication consistent with subpart E (Labelling)
and subpart F (Placarding) of 49 CFR 172, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill.
Adm. Code
720.111; a hazard
statement or pictogram consistent with
29 CFR
1910.1200 (Hazard Communication),
incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111; or a chemical hazard
label consistent with NFPA 704, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.111; and
iii) The date when the
episodic event began, clearly visible for inspection on each
container.
B) Tanks. A
VSQG accumulating episodic hazardous waste in tanks must do the following:
i) Mark or label the tank with the words
"Episodic Hazardous Waste";
ii)
Mark or label its tanks with an indication of the hazards of the contents.
Examples include, but are not limited to, the applicable hazardous waste
characteristics (i.e., ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic); hazard
communication consistent with subpart E (Labeling) and subpart F (Placarding)
of 49 CFR 172, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111; a hazard
statement or pictogram consistent with
29 CFR
1910.1200 (Hazard Communication),
incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111; or a chemical hazard
label consistent with NFPA 704, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
720.111;
iii) Use inventory logs,
monitoring equipment, or other records to identify the date upon which each
episodic event begins; and
iv) Keep
inventory logs or records with the information required by subsection
(a)(4)(B)(iii) on site and readily available for inspection.
C) The generator must manage
hazardous waste in a manner that minimizes the possibility of a fire,
explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to the
air, soil, or water;
i) Containers must be in
good condition and compatible with the hazardous waste being accumulated in
them. The generator must keep containers closed except to add or remove waste;
and
ii) Tanks must be in good
condition and compatible with the hazardous waste accumulated in them. Tanks
must have procedures in place to prevent the overflow (e.g., be equipped with a
means to stop inflow with systems such as a waste feed cutoff system or bypass
system to a standby tank when hazardous waste is continuously fed into the
tank). Tanks must be inspected at least once each operating day to ensure all
applicable discharge control equipment, such as waste feed cutoff systems,
bypass systems, and drainage systems are in good working order and to ensure
that the generator operates the tank according to its design by reviewing the
data gathered from monitoring equipment such as pressure and temperature gauges
from the inspection.
5) The VSQG must comply with the hazardous
waste manifest provisions of Subpart B when the VSQG sends its episodic event
hazardous waste off site to a designated facility, as defined in 35 Ill. Adm.
Code
720.110.
6) The VSQG has up to 60 calendar days from
the start of the episodic event to manifest and send its hazardous waste
generated from the episodic event to a designated facility, as defined in 35
Ill. Adm. Code 720.110.
7) A VSQG
must maintain the following records for three years from the end date of the
episodic event:
A) The beginning and end
dates of the episodic event;
B) A
description of the episodic event;
C) A description of the types and quantities
of hazardous wastes generated during the event;
D) A description of how the hazardous waste
was managed, as well as the name of the RCRA-designated facility that received
the hazardous waste;
E) The names
of hazardous waste transporters; and
F) The approval letter from the Agency if the
generator requested the Agency under Section
722.333
to conduct one additional episodic event per calendar year.
b) SQGs. An SQG may maintain its existing generator category during an episodic event provided that the generator complies with the following conditions:
1) The SQG is limited to one episodic event
per calendar year, unless the Agency has determined that an additional episodic
event is necessary, as provided in Section 722.333;
2) Notification. The SQG must notify Agency
no later than 30 calendar days prior to initiating a planned episodic event
using USEPA Form 8700-12 (Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activities (Site
Identification From)). In the event of an unplanned episodic event, the SQG
must notify Agency within 72 hours of the unplanned event via phone, email, or
fax and subsequently submit USEPA Form 8700-12. The SQG must include the start
date and end date of the episodic event, the reasons for the event and the
types and estimated quantities of hazardous wastes expected to be generated as
a result of the episodic event, and the generator must identify a facility
contact and emergency coordinator with 24-hour telephone access to discuss the
notification submittal or respond to emergency;
