May a facility that does not have access to a RCRA or TSCA disposal facility store PCB bulk product waste from a demolition project on its site?
The facility may store PCB bulk product waste at the demolition site for 180 days provided specified conditions are met to prevent migration or dispersal of the waste. (See 761.65(c)(9).) Alternatively, the facility may apply for a risk-based storage approval under 761.62(c). TANKS1. The deadline for tank owners to upgrade their underground storage tanks (USTs) with corrosion, spill and overfill protection as required by the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act has passed. If we have underground tanks that do not meet the December 1998 upgrade requirements, what options do we have available to avoid EPA penalties?Answer: If the tank was not upgraded by 12/22/98, and thus not in compliance with the Part 280 standards, EPA requires that it be temporarily closed until the work needed to upgrade, replace, or permanently close the UST is completed. Under the federal regulations, an UST may remain in temporary closure for up to 12 months unless the owner/operator completes a site assessment
