It says that a containment system must be designed and operated as follows: A base must 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.
The base must be sloped or the containment system must 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. Containers that do not contain free liquids need not be considered in this determination. Run-on into the containment system must be prevented unless the collection system has sufficient excess capacity in addition to that required in paragraph b 3 of this section to contain any run-on which might enter the system.
Spilled or leaked waste and accumulated precipitation must be removed from the sump or collection area in as timely a manner as is necessary to prevent overflow of the collection system. Within this citation, minimum requirements of how the system must be constructed are listed in detail in paragraph c : 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.
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. 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 24 hours or at the earliest practicable time if the owner or operator can demonstrate to the regional administrator that existing detection technologies or site conditions will not allow detection of a release within 24 hours.
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 24 hours, or in as timely a manner as possible to prevent harm to human health and the environment if the owner or operator can demonstrate to the regional administrator that removal of the released waste or accumulated precipitation cannot be accomplished within 24 hours.
Along with the above requirements, a provision has been made that requires that one or more of the following devices also be implemented: A liner external to the tank A vault A double-walled tank An equivalent device as approved by the regional administrator These four devices need to meet rather stringent specifications.
Designed or operated to prevent run-on or infiltration of precipitation into the secondary containment system unless the collection system has sufficient excess capacity to contain run-on or infiltration. Such additional capacity must be sufficient to contain precipitation from a year, hour rainfall event. Free of cracks or gaps. Designed and installed to surround the tank completely and to cover all surroundings likely to come into contact with the waste if the waste is released from the tank s i.
Both state that buildings or portions thereof, used for any of the following shall be provided with secondary containment to prevent the flow of liquids to adjoining areas: Storage of liquids including corrosive, flammable, toxic and combustible where the capacity of an individual vessel exceeds 55 gallons L or the aggregate capacity of multiple vessels exceeds gallons L Storage of solids where the capacity of an individual vessel exceeds lb.
Choosing a Containment System When selecting a containment system for an application, many issues need to be considered. Is the system chemically compatible with the products being stored? Containment system sups are primarily constructed of one or two materials: high-density polyethylene and steel.
Polyethylene skids usually have material choices for grids or platforms. The choice of material depends on chemical resistance as well as disposability of the product.
Examples include: Wood platforms: Once contaminated, they are disposed of according to local regulations. Fiberglass grids: Compatible with a wide variety of chemicals, but not suitable for corrosive materials. Polyethylene grids: Compatible with a wide variety of chemicals including many corrosive materials. How will the system be monitored and cleaned? Most units have drains. If they don't, usually a spill cleanup kit will be adequate to clean up the internal sump area of the system.
What volume and weight of the containers will be stored? Some states may have more stringent restrictions and you should contact your local fire marshal for your local requirement. Containment systems are commonly rated with a static weight capacity. This is a weight in a stationary mode.
