(a) The owner or operator shall clearly label each dry bulk storage bin with the grade to identify its fertilizer contents. This requirement shall only apply to individual storage bins and shall not be construed to require labeling on the exterior of any building associated with the dry bulk storage bin.

(b) The owner or operator shall ensure all dry bulk fertilizers are stored inside a sound structure or device having a cover or rooftop, sidewalls, and base sufficient to prevent contact with precipitation and surface waters.

(c) The owner or operator shall pave any area used for blending, loading, or unloading dry bulk fertilizer with asphalt or concrete.

(1) When loading or unloading occurs on railroad tracks, the owner or operator shall contact the railroad company to request permission to pave those areas.

(2) If the railroad company denies permission, the owner or operator shall notify the Department and request an exception for those limited areas where permission was denied. In no case shall the Department require paving of an area when permission to pave is denied.

(3) The Department may, on a case by case basis, allow the use of impermeable material other than asphalt or concrete on railroad tracks, so long as the impermeable material allows for cleanup.

(d) The owner or operator shall ensure all paved areas are of sufficient size to allow cleanup of any spilled fertilizer and shall ensure they are kept clean.
