Part 264 Subparts I to FF: Unit-specific standards – EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Management

EPA RCRA Hazardous Waste Management 264.196: § 264.196 Response to leaks or spills and disposition of leaking or unfit-for-use tank systems

A tank or secondary containment system that has leaked or spilled or is unfit for use must be removed from service immediately: stop the flow of waste and inspect for the cause; within 24 hours (or the earliest practicable time) remove as much waste as needed to prevent further release and allow inspection and repair, and remove material released to secondary containment within 24 hours or as soon as possible; immediately inspect visible releases, prevent further migration and remove visible soil or surface water contamination; report any release to the environment to the Regional Administrator within 24 hours (a Part 302 report satisfies this; releases of one pound or less immediately contained and cleaned up are exempt), and within 30 days submit a report on the likely migration route, surrounding soil characteristics, monitoring results, proximity to drinking water, surface water and populated areas, and response actions. The system must then be closed under 264.197 unless a spill that did not damage the system is cleaned up and repaired, a primary leak into secondary containment is repaired before return to service, or a leaking component without containment is given secondary containment (or, if aboveground and visually inspectable, repaired); replacement components must meet 264.192 and 264.193. Extensive repairs require a PE certification that the system can handle the waste without release for its intended life before return to service, kept in the operating record until closure.
