Sierra Chemical Co. Hazardous Waste Management Plan • Contents of the waste stored within; • Accumulation start date;and • The composition and physical state of the waste. Appendix C contains example labels that may be used to label waste containers by Sierra Chemical Co. 6.2 Satellite Accumulation Areas(SAAB) There is one satellite accumulation area storing bleach filters (Non-RCRA solids) located by the bleach containment area.The bleach filters are transferred to the central accumulation area to ensure that accumulation does not exceed one year. All satellite accumulation areas will be inspected at least weekly according to the specifications listed in section 7 of this Plan. Appropriate labeling of SAA's is an important component of hazardous waste compliance. Satellite accumulation containers of hazardous waste must be labeled appropriately.The requirements are listed in Section 6.1 and labels that may be used for hazardous waste containers are provided in Appendix C. 6.3 Universal Waste Storage As previously stated,Sierra Chemical Co. is a small quantity generator of universal waste. Universal waste is collected in the central accumulation area in the main warehouse in appropriate containers. Universal waste containers must be labeled with the following information: • Name,address and phone number of the generator; • Description of contents;and • Accumulation start date. Labels used for containers of universal waste are available in Appendix C. Containers of universal waste should be closed except when adding or removing wastes. Dating the label as soon as the first item(s) of waste is placed within the container is imperative as there is only a one year storage time limit on universal wastes. 7. Waste Storage Area Inspections Per the requirements set forth in 22 CCR 66262 and 40 CFR 241,weekly inspections of hazardous waste accumulation containers are required.The EHSS Manager or their designee performs the weekly inspections in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
