Section 33.1-24-05-1105 - Secondary containment requirements
Universal Citation: ND Admin Code § 33.1-24-05-1105
Current through Supplement No. 395, January, 2025
To prevent the release of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents to the environment, the owner or operator must provide secondary containment that meets the requirements of this section for all new and existing tank systems.
1. Secondary containment systems must be:
a. Designed,
installed, and operated to prevent any migration of wastes or accumulated
liquid out of the system to the soil, ground water, or surface water at any
time during the use of the tank system; and
b. Capable of detecting and collecting
releases and accumulated liquids until the collected material is
removed.
2. To meet the requirements of subsection 1, secondary containment systems must be, at a minimum:
a. Constructed of or lined with
materials that are compatible with the wastes to be placed in the tank system
and must have sufficient strength and thickness to prevent failure owing to
pressure gradients (including static head and external hydrological forces),
physical contact with the waste to which it is exposed, climatic conditions,
and the stress of daily operation (including stresses from nearby vehicular
traffic).
b. Placed on a foundation
or base capable of providing support to the secondary containment system,
resistance to pressure gradients above and below the system, and capable of
preventing failure due to settlement, compression, or uplift.
c. Provided with a leak detection system that
is designed and operated so that it will detect the failure of either the
primary or secondary containment structure or the presence of any release of
hazardous waste or accumulated liquid in the secondary containment system
within twenty-four hours.
d. Sloped
or otherwise designed or operated to drain and remove liquids resulting from
leaks, spills, or precipitation. Spilled or leaked waste and accumulated
precipitation must be removed from the secondary containment system within
twenty-four hours, or as promptly as possible, to prevent harm to human health
and the environment.
