Accumulation Time Limits <br /> Accumulation time limits for hazardous waste depend on the facility's generator status. <br /> As mentioned above,most grocery store facilities operate under small quantity <br /> generator (SQG) status. <br /> SQG Accumulation Requirements <br /> ➢ SQGs generate 100-1,000 kg (220-2,200 lbs.) of hazardous waste per month <br /> ➢ No more than 6,000 kg(13,200 lbs.) of hazardous waste may be stored onsite <br /> at any one time <br /> ➢ Up to 55 gallons of hazardous waste and 1 quart of acutely hazardous waste <br /> may be kept"at or near' the location where it is generated (this is called a <br /> "satellite accumulation area or (satellite accumulation point or "SAP)"). Once <br /> 55 gallons of a particular waste or 1 quart of acutely hazardous waste are <br /> generated, the waste must be moved (within 3 days) to the longer term <br /> (180-day) accumulation area at the site. <br /> ➢ Once the hazardous waste arrives at the long-term accumulation facility, the <br /> maximum allowed accumulation time is 180 days or less from the first date <br /> on which any amount of hazardous waste begins to accumulate (or 270 days <br /> or less if the waste will be transported more than 200 miles or more for <br /> treatment, storage, or disposal). <br /> ➢ In no instance can hazardous wastes be stored for more than one year from <br /> the time of initial accumulation. <br /> ➢ The accumulation start date at the Satellite Accumulation Area and the 180- <br /> day storage facility must be clearly marked and visible for inspection on each <br /> accumulation unit. <br /> LQG Accumulation Requirements <br /> ➢ LQGs generate 1,000 kg or more (2,200 lbs.) of hazardous waste per month <br /> ➢ No more than 6,000 kg (13,200 lbs.) of hazardous waste may be stored onsite <br /> at any one time <br /> ➢ Up to 55 gallons of hazardous waste and 1 quart of acutely hazardous waste <br /> may be kept"at or near' the location where it is generated (this is called a <br /> "satellite accumulation Area"). Once 55 gallons of a particular waste or 1 <br /> quart of acutely hazardous waste are generated, the waste must be moved <br /> (within 3 days) to the longer term (90-day) accumulation area at the site. <br /> ➢ The maximum allowed accumulation time is 90 days or less from the first <br /> date on which any amount of hazardous waste begins to accumulate. <br /> 5of13 <br />
