ABSTRACT
This chapter is devoted to manufacturing firms with an interim status storage facility on their premises. It will cover the hazardous waste storage practices of manufacturing firms utilizing containers and/or tanks for time periods longer than 90 days. The use of surface impoundments or waste piles for storage of hazardous wastes is not addressed. This chapter is intended to serve as an introduction to and reiteration of the interim status standards (40 CFR Part 265) applicable to storage in containers and tanks. It is not intended, however, to substitute for a close reading of the actual regulatory sections by persons responsible for waste management at manufacturing facilities. Some of the standards applicable to interim status storage facilities have been covered in Chapter 9 as they apply to accumulation areas. The reader is advised to refer to Chapter 9 for further discussion of some topics.
