Instead of using drip pans, can a facility operate a general sump in their compounding area?
A facility can operate a general sump in the compounding area as part of the P2 alternative if they can demonstrate that they are reusing the water collected in the sump. The intent of this P2 practice is to reuse the collected drips and spills, or, at a minimum, to prevent concentrated leaks and spills from increasing the pollutant loading in the floor wash water. The facility would need to request a nonlisted modification and receive approval for that modification from the permitting/control authority. If the water is not being reused, the facility would need to provide justification as to why drip pans could not be used.
