Rule 3745-66-77 | Special requirements for incompatible wastes- containers.
(A) Incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials (see the appendix to rule 3745-66-99 of the Administrative Code for examples), shall not be placed in the same container, unless paragraph (B) of rule 3745-65-17 of the Administrative Code is complied with.
(B) Hazardous waste shall not be placed in an unwashed container that previously held an incompatible waste (see the appendix to rule 3745-66-99 of the Administrative Code for examples), unless paragraph (B) of rule 3745-65-17 of the Administrative Code is complied with.
(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 the other materials by means of a dike, berm, wall, or other device.
[Comment: The purpose of this rule is to prevent fires, explosions, gaseous emissions, 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.]
