(1) Hazardous waste
munitions and explosives storage units shall be designed and operated with
containment systems, controls and monitoring, that do all of the following:
(a) Minimize the potential for detonation or
other means of release of hazardous waste, hazardous constituents, hazardous
decomposition products or contaminated run-off to the soil, groundwater,
surface water and atmosphere.
(b)
Provide a primary barrier, which may be a container (including a shell) or
tank, designed to contain the hazardous waste.
(c) For wastes stored outdoors, provide that
the waste and containers will not be in standing precipitation.
(d) For liquid wastes, provide a secondary
containment system that assures that any released liquids are contained and
promptly detected and removed from the waste area, or vapor detection system
that assures that any released liquids or vapors are promptly detected and an
appropriate response taken (e.g., additional containment, such as overpacking,
or removal from the waste area).
(e) Provide monitoring and inspection
procedures that assure the controls and containment systems are working as
designed and that releases that may adversely impact human health or the
environment are not escaping from the unit.
(2) Hazardous waste munitions and explosives
stored under this subchapter may be stored in one of the following:
(a)
Earth-covered magazines.
Earth-covered magazines shall be all of the following:
1. Constructed of waterproofed, reinforced
concrete or structural steel arches, with steel doors that are kept closed when
not being accessed.
2. Designed and
constructed to do all of the following:
a. Be
of sufficient strength and thickness to support the weight of any explosives or
munitions stored and any equipment used in the unit.
b. Provide working space for personnel and
equipment in the unit.
c. Withstand
movement activities that occur in the unit.
3. Located and designed, with walls and
earthen covers that direct an explosion in the unit in a safe direction, so as
to minimize the propagation of an explosion to adjacent units and to minimize
other effects of any explosion.
(b)
Above-ground magazines.
Above-ground magazines shall be located and designed so as to minimize the
propagation of an explosion to adjacent units and to minimize other effects of
any explosion.
(c)
Outdoor
or open storage areas. Outdoor or open storage areas shall be located
and designed so as to minimize the propagation of an explosion to adjacent
units and to minimize other effects of any explosion.
(3) Hazardous waste munitions and explosives
shall be stored in accordance with a standard operating procedure specifying
procedures to ensure safety, security and environmental protection. If these
procedures serve the same purpose as the security and inspection requirements
of s.
NR 664.0014, the preparedness and prevention procedures
of subch. C and the contingency plan and emergency procedures requirements of
subch. D, then these procedures shall be used to fulfill those
requirements.
(4) Hazardous waste
munitions and explosives shall be packaged to ensure safety in handling and
storage.
(5) Hazardous waste
munitions and explosives shall be inventoried at least annually.
(6) Hazardous waste munitions and explosives
and their storage units shall be inspected and monitored as necessary to ensure
explosives safety and to ensure that there is no migration of contaminants out
of the unit.
