R315-264-177. Special Requirements for Incompatible Wastes

  (a) Incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials, see appendix V of Rule R315-264 for examples, shall not be placed in the same container, unless Subsection R35-264-17(b) is complied with.

  (b) Hazardous waste shall not be placed in an unwashed container that previously held an incompatible waste or material. As required by Section R315-264-13, the waste analysis plan shall include analyses needed to comply with Section R315-264-177. Also, Subsection R315-264-17(c) requires wastes analyses, trial tests or other documentation to assure compliance with Subsection R315-264-17(b). As required by Section R315-264-73, the owner or operator shall place the results of each waste analysis and trial test, and any documented information, in the operating record of the facility.

  (c) A storage container holding a hazardous waste that is incompatible with any waste or other materials stored nearby in other containers, piles, open tanks, or surface impoundments shall be separated from the other materials or protected from them by means of a dike, berm, wall, or other device. The purpose of Section R315-264-177 is to prevent fires, explosions, gaseous emission, leaching, or other discharge of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents which could result from the mixing of incompatible wastes or materials if containers break or leak.
