  (a) The requirements of Sections R315-264-570 through 575 apply to owners and operators of facilities that use new or existing drip pads to convey treated wood drippage, precipitation, and/or surface water run-off to an associated collection system. Existing drip pads are those constructed before December 6, 1990 and those for which the owner or operator has a design and has entered into binding financial or other agreements for construction prior to December 6, 1990 for all HSWA drip pads or July 30, 1993 for all non-HSWA drip pads. All other drip pads are new drip pads. The requirement at Subsection R315-264-573(b)(3) to install a leak collection system applies only to those drip pads that are constructed after December 24, 1992 except for those constructed after December 24, 1992 for which the owner or operator has a design and has entered into binding financial or other agreements for construction prior to December 24, 1992 for all HSWA drip pads or July 30, 1993 for all non-HSWA drip pads.

  (b) The owner or operator of any drip pad that is inside or under a structure that provides protection from precipitation so that neither run-off nor run-on is generated is not subject to regulation under Subsection R315-264-573(e) or Subsection R315-264-573(f), as appropriate.

  (c) The requirements of Sections R315-264-570 through 575 are not applicable to the management of infrequent and incidental drippage in storage yards provided that:

At a minimum, the contingency plan shall describe how the owner or operator will do the following:

  (i) Clean up the drippage;

  (ii) Document the cleanup of the drippage;

  (iii) Retain documents regarding cleanup for three years; and

  (iv) Manage the contaminated media in a manner consistent with Utah regulations.
