(a) Container storage areas shall have a containment system that is designed and operated in accordance with Subsection R315-261-175(b).
(b) A containment system shall be designed and operated as follows:
(1) A base shall underlie the containers
which is free of cracks or gaps and is sufficiently impervious to contain
leaks, spills, and accumulated precipitation until the collected material is
detected and removed;
(2) The base
shall be sloped or the containment system shall be otherwise designed and
operated to drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks, spills, or
precipitation, unless the containers are elevated or are otherwise protected
from contact with accumulated liquids;
(3) The containment system shall have
sufficient capacity to contain 10% of the volume of containers or the volume of
the largest container, whichever is greater.
(4) Run-on into the containment system shall
be prevented unless the collection system has sufficient excess capacity in
addition to that required in Subsection R315-261-175(b)(3) to contain any
run-on which might enter the system; and
(5) Spilled or leaked material and
accumulated precipitation shall be removed from the sump or collection area in
as timely a manner as is necessary to prevent overflow of the collection
system.
