COMMUNITY <br /> F U E L 5u Process Hazardous Waste Management <br /> stk- EHS- POL-015 . c <br /> 5 SATELLITE ACCUMULATION <br /> Hazardous Waste can be accumulated in satellite accumulation areas in small quantities . SAA' s have <br /> different requirements from hazardous waste accumulation areas . <br /> Hazardous waste regulations require the SAA to be located at or near the point of waste generation , and <br /> that it be under the control of the generator . <br /> The SAA must be located away from all exit doors or areas where it could hamper egress in the vent of a <br /> fire or spill . Appropriate spill clean up materials should be located near your SAA . <br /> The SAA must be clearly designated using an SAA yellow poster . <br /> 5 . 1 ACCUMULATION TIME AND VOLUME LIMITS <br /> Accumulation starts the first day you begin accumulating any hazardous waste . <br /> Accumulation volume limit : <br /> • 55 gallons hazardous waste, or <br /> • 1 quart of acutely hazardous waste , or <br /> • 1 quart of extremely hazardous waste <br /> Note : This volume limit applies to each SAA . An area , such as the laboratory, can have more than one SAA . <br /> For example, it can separate SAA' s for different types of waste that need to be segregated , or it can have <br /> separate SAA located in different point of generation in the laboratory . <br /> Accumulation time limit : One year <br /> i <br /> Notes : <br /> i <br /> • 3 days after the volume limit has been reached, the generator must move the waste to a Waste <br /> I <br /> accumulation area or move it to an authorized hazardous waste facility . <br /> • The one year accumulation limit applies only to the time during which the waste is held onsite in <br /> any accumulation areas, i . e . , the combined accumulation time in an SAA and a WAA. <br /> 5 . 2 MANAGING CONTAINERS IN THE SAA <br /> All wastes must be in containers compatible with the waste . <br /> Keep waste containers tightly closed at all times except when you are adding waste . The container may <br /> be opened up to 15 minutes while you add waste . A funnel in a container opening is not considered closed <br /> unless the funnel itself seal to the container, preventing spillage . Container closure must be secure . Cork, <br /> 16 <br /> i <br />
