1 Introduction to Drum Storage Let DENIOS Help You Bring Your Chemical Storage Program Into Compliance! As the leading manufacturer and designer of chemical containment systems, DENIOS knows how to keep you safe and compliant through our large and varied program. Whether your needs are for storing one drum, or hundreds, DENIOS has a solution. Hazardous Material: A chemical or substance which endangers human health or the environment, whether in a new or waste condition. Hazardous materials are designated and regulated by the EPA under EPCRA. Hazardous materials, and their reportable qualities, are found in SARA Title III. Secondary Spill Containment Sumps: As required by EPA, NFPA, and UFC, the containment sump or "catch basin" underlies containers storing or dispensing hazardous materials in order to prevent spills from escaping into and damaging the environment or endangering personnel within the facility. The construction must be liquid-tight, accessible for visual inspection, and compatible with the materials stored. EPA - 40 CFR Subpart 1 - 264.175 - Containment (a) Container storage areas must have a containment system that is designated and operated in accordance with paragraph (b) (b) A containment system must be designed and operated as follows: 1. 2. 3. A base (sump) must underlie the containers which arefree of cracks or gaps and are sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills, and accumulated precipitation until the collected material is detected and removed. The containment system must be otherwise designed and operated to drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks, spills, andprecipitationunless the containers are elevated or otherwise protected from contact with accumulated liquids. The containment system must have sufficient capacity to contain 10% of the volume of the containers or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. NFPA - 30 Section 4-6.3.5 Spill or Leakage Control Lockers shall include a spill containment system to prevent the flow of liquids from the structure under emergency conditions. The containment systems shall have sufficient capacity to contain 10 percent of the volume of containers allowed or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. EPA 40 CFR 122.26 Stormwater Regulations, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES): SUMMARY: The NPDES permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources and non-point sources that discharge pollutants into United States waters. These regulations are a key component of EPA’s Clean Water Act. The goal is to protect the quality of waterways by reducing the discharge of sediment, oils, and chemicals into storm drain, surface, and ground waters. NPDES requires Minimum Control Measures to be put into place by activities in affected Urbanized Areas (UA). Visit www.epa.gov/owm (US EPA Office of Wastewater Management), Appendix 6 to determine particular affected places. This program includes the development and implementation of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP identifies Potential Sources of Pollution and Exposed Materials; a history of past spills and leaks; BMPs. Non-Structural controls (Good Housekeeping Practices, Spill Prevention, and Response); Structural controls such as Containment including Pollution Incident Prevention Plans (PIPP) and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) plans. The corrosion resistance of the materials used to make the spill pallet and their compatibility with the substances stored must be demonstrated. For many chemical substances, steel spill pallets (1.0038) may be used. For corrosive substances (acids / alkalis) in particular, the use of plastic (polyethylene) spill pallets is often required. High levels of protection, especially against many aggressive liquids are offered by stainless steel. If no information is given in the resistance lists, the material of the spill pallet may be the same material as the transport container. SpillGuard Leak Recognition System INNOVATION W Designed for use with all essential and common liquid hazardous substances W Intelligent, robust sensor technology in a highly resistant, electrically conductive housing guarantees simple and safe commissioning and use. W Simple installation: put into position, switch on, stay safe! W A regular visual signal (red LED) shows that the unit is operating safely over its entire life span. W An audible signal lets you know in good time when SpillGuard® has reached the end of its life (up to 5 years) so you can replace it. W Developed for long-term use - explosion proofed W An audible and visual alarm is given for a minimum of 24 hours when contact is made with a liquid or a hazardous substance. W Temperature ranges from 32 °F to 104 °F 26 www.denios-us.com Order no. M28-7500-U2
