2.3.2
Sorbent Material for Spills. All facilities shall maintain an
adequate supply of compatible sorbent material for application to liquid
spills and leaks. Sufficient storage area shall be provided for sorbent
material.
2.3.3
Personnel Facilities. Locker rooms, showers, and toilet facilities
shall be provided only when not available in adjacent facilities.
2.4
Enclosed or Open Storage Facilities. General design criteria are
shown in Table 1. The storage area shall be designed to prevent surface or
groundwater contamination and to capture completely each class of waste
individually. The access and exit roadway and the portion of the facility
floor expected to receive vehicular traffic shall be designed for wheel
loading in accordance with American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) H-20, Specifications for Highway Bridges.
The water lines to the sprinkler systems shall be equipped with a positive
backflow preventer. Other design considerations include the requirement to
isolate acid storage from the other categories of waste, the requirement to
isolate flammable liquids from acids and oxidizers, and the desirability of
isolating the acids containing organics from the oxidizers. The handling
method will depend on the quantity and packing of the waste to be handled.
