underground tanks, except as set forth in subdivision 4bvii(B) of this
subsection.
3. Part III--Hazardous Materials Management
Plan.
a. Intent. The intent of this subdivision is to provide for the
regulation of hazardous materials use by requiring the submittal of a hazardous
materials management plan (HMMP) which demonstrates the safe storage, handling
and disposal of all hazardous materials.
b. Applicability. All owners,
lessees or occupants proposing to engage in the handling, storage and disposal
of hazardous materials are required to submit an HMMP. This requirement does not
apply to exempt materials and quantities as provided in subdivision 1 of this
subsection.
c. Contents of an HMMP. Prior to the construction of any
buildings, structures or other improvement, owners, lessees and occupants
intending to engage in the use of hazardous materials are to submit an HMMP as
provided for in Section 19.33.130. The proposed HMMP shall include the following
information:

rules and regulations for the review and approval of the HMMP and amendment of
an approved HMMP as it relates to any major changes or modifications thereof. An
approved HMMP shall be reviewed periodically by the enforcing agency pursuant to
its rules and regulations. In any event, the enforcing agency shall not approve
an HMMP or a building and site improvement permit shall not be issued for a
proposed project in the R & T park that requires more than the minimum
quantity of controlled materials, as specified in Section 19.33.090(C) (1) (d),
or any quantity of an identified carcinogen, until responsible personnel of the
enforcing agency are trained to implement the provisions of this
section.
4. Part IV--Storage and Containment
Standards.
a. Intent. The intent of this subdivision is to specify
standards for the proper storage and containment of hazardous materials with the
objective of preventing uncontrolled discharges into the
ground.
b. Storage and Containment Requirements. Primary and secondary
levels of containment will be required for all storage facilities intended for
the storage of hazardous materials, as specified below:
i. Primary
Containment. This is the first level of containment, i.e., the inside portion of
that container which comes into immediate contact on its inner surface with the
hazardous materials being contained.
(A) All primary containment must be
product-tight, i.e., impervious to the hazardous material which is contained, or
is to be contained, so as to prevent seepage of the hazardous material from the
primary containment. To be product-tight, the container shall be made of a
material that is not subject to physical or chemical deterioration by the
hazardous material being contained.
ii. Secondary Containment. This is
the level of containment external to and separate from the primary
containment.
(A) All secondary containments are to be constructed of
materials of sufficient thickness, density and composition so as not to be
structurally weakened as a result of contact with the discharged hazardous
materials and so as to be capable of containing hazardous materials discharged
from a primary container for a period of time equal to or longer than the
maximum anticipated time sufficient to allow recovery of the discharged
hazardous material.
(B) In the case of an installation with one primary
container, the secondary containment is to be large enough to contain at least
one hundred ten percent of the volume of the primary container.
(C) In
the case of a storage facility with multiple primary containers, the secondary
container is to be large enough to contain one hundred fifty percent of the
volume of the largest primary container placed in it, or ten percent of the
aggregate internal volume of all primary containers in the storage facility,
whichever is greater.
(D) If the storage facility is open to rainfall,
then the secondary containment must be able to additionally accommodate the
volume of a twenty-four-hour rainfall as determined by a twenty-five-year storm
history.
iii. Separation of Materials. Materials that in combination may
cause a fire or explosion, or the production of a flammable, toxic or poisonous
gas, or the deterioration of a primary or secondary container, shall be
separated in both the primary and secondary containment so as to avoid
intermixing.
iv. Overfill Protection. Means of overfill protection, as
determined by the enforcing agency, may be required for any primary container.
This may be an overfill prevention device and/or an attention-getting high-level
alarm.
v. Drainage System. Drainage of precipitation from within a
storage facility containing hazardous materials shall be controlled in a manner
so as to prevent hazardous materials from being discharged. No drainage system
will be approved unless the flow of the drain can be
controlled.
vi. Monitoring Capability. All storage facilities intended
for the storage of hazardous materials are to be designed and constructed with a
monitoring system capable of detecting whether the hazardous material stored in
the primary containment has entered the secondary containment. Visual inspection
of the primary containment is the preferred method; however, other means of
monitoring may be required. Whenever monitoring devices are provided, they
shall, where applicable, be connected to attention-getting visual and/or audible
alarms.
vii. Underground Storage.
(A) In order to prevent
uncontrolled discharge from underground storage of hazardous materials,
underground hazardous material storage tanks will not be permitted at the
R&T park.
(B) The general prohibition against underground storage
tanks does not apply to gasoline tanks installed in conjunction with gasoline
sales establishments. Such underground gasoline tanks are subject to the storage
and containment requirements set forth above; the requirements for secondary
containment and monitoring require particular emphasis. Since the secondary
containment of underground tanks may be subject to intrusion by water, a means
for monitoring for such water infiltration is to be provided.
viii.
Screening of Outside Storage Facilities. Outdoor storage facilities are to be
screened from external view and properly secured from unauthorized entry in the
manner prescribed by performance standards and other design guidelines for the R
& T park.
5. Part V--Inspection and Repair.
a. Inspections
by Occupant. Every occupant subject to these guidelines is to provide testing,
monitoring and inspections in compliance with the hazardous materials management
plan and to maintain records adequate to demonstrate compliance therewith. Such
inspections shall be undertaken by a qualified independent engineer, or chemist
or appropriate professional consultant acceptable to the association and the
enforcing agency. Such inspector may not also be the consultant retained by the
association for the purpose of administering these
guidelines.
