(2) Hazardous characteristics of the waste(s) to be handled: Stored waste liquids in the waste oil tank are a mixture of motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. All of these are classified as type IIIB flammable and combustible liquids per Table B.1 of NFPA Code 30A. These liquids have the following HMIS Hazard Ratings: Health: 1 (slight) Flammability: 1 (slight) Reactivity: 0 (minimal) Stored waste liquids in the used coolant storage tank are not classified by OSHA as combustible. These liquids have the following HMIS Hazard Ratings: Health: 2 (moderate) Flammability: 1 (slight) Reactivity: 0 (minimal) (3) Not Applicable: Tanks are not in contact with soil or water. (4) Protection from Traffic: Both above ground tanks are protected by a row of 6" pipe/concrete bollards from adjacent traffic lanes (5) Design Considerations: (A) Ensure tank foundations will maintain the load of a full tank: The Convault waste oil tank is supported by a 10" reinforced concrete slab. The approximate weight of the tank and contents when full is 18,000 Ib. The floor area supporting the tank is 696 int. The floor load is 25.9 psi. The concrete specification for a typical concrete slab is 3,000 psi, therefore the concrete foundation supporting this waste oil tank is sufficient to support this load. The used coolant tank is supported by a 10" reinforced concrete slab. The approximate weight of the tank and contents when full is 2,314 Ib. The floor area supporting the tank is 1,385 in Z. The floor load is 1.7 psi. The concrete specification for a typical concrete slab is 3,000 psi, therefore the concrete foundation supporting this used coolant tank is sufficient to support this load. (B) Ensure tank systems will be anchored to prevent flotation or dislodgement where the tank system is placed in a saturated zone, or is located within a seismic fault zone: See Appendix C: Foundation Drawing See Appendix D: Hydrostatic and Seismic Analysis
