RULE §335.409Operation of Collection Events and Permanent Collection Centers

    (A) The storage facility is an authorized hazardous waste processing, storage, or disposal facility;

    (B) The operator requests in writing and obtains a storage time extension from the executive director. The request for an extension must state the reason that waste needs to be stored longer than ten days, the earliest date that the hazardous household waste currently on site was received, and the expected date that the waste will be shipped to a recycling facility or a hazardous waste processing, storage, or disposal facility; or

    (C) The operator is operating a permanent collection center, does not accumulate more than 3,000 kilograms of household hazardous waste, and does not store the waste longer than 180 days.

  (2) If wastes are stored in original individual containers as received from the public rather than in a proper and correctly labeled shipping container that meets the DOT regulations for hazardous materials in transportation, the operator shall ensure:

    (A) that all complete, legible, and correct labels are maintained on individual containers received from the public;

    (B) that, if the label on any container of waste received from the public is missing, defaced, or incorrect, information needed for safe storage, transportation, and processing or disposal is marked on that container; at a minimum, this required information must cover all information required by the DOT regulations for hazardous materials in transportation; and

    (C) that the date of acceptance of each individual container from the generator is placed on that container.

  (3) If wastes are properly prepared for transportation and stored in proper shipping containers that are labeled consistent with the DOT regulations for hazardous materials in transportation, the individual containers received from the public do not need to be marked.

  (4) The operator shall maintain records of all stored, processed, or disposed household hazardous wastes for at least one year after shipment of the waste including all the information necessary to complete manifests for the wastes. (Copies of manifests may be used in lieu of a separate record.)
