The enforcing agency shall approve the HMMP and adopt 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.

b. Inspections by the Association. The association may conduct inspections, at its discretion, for the purpose of ascertaining compliance with these guidelines. Upon the discovery of any noncompliance, the association shall notify the enforcing agency which shall cause to be corrected any conditions which would constitute any violation of these guidelines or of any other statute, code, rule or regulation affecting the storage of hazardous materials.

c. Inspections by the Enforcing Agency. The enforcing agency shall conduct inspections for the purpose of ascertaining compliance with these guidelines on at least an annual basis or more frequently, if determined to be necessary.

d. Right-of-Entry. Whenever necessary for the purpose of investigating or enforcing the provisions of these guidelines, or whenever any duly authorized enforcement officer of a federal, state or county agency has reasonable cause to believe that there exists in any structure or upon any premises any conditions which constitute a violation of these guidelines, the officer may enter such structure or premises at all reasonable times to inspect the same.

e. Remedial Action. Whenever the enforcement officer finds an instance of noncompliance with the approved HMMP or with these guidelines, the occupant responsible will have ten days to remedy the noncompliance, make any modifications or repairs as required by the enforcement officer and implement appropriate cleanup actions of hazardous materials at the sole expense of the occupant. In addition, an enforcement officer may require an occupant to immediately cease any part of an operation, if determined to be necessary.

The owner's sale/purchase agreement or occupant's lease agreement for the R&T park shall contain specific provisions requiring the owner or occupant to comply with all laws relating to the storage and disposal of hazardous materials, including the provision of this subsection. The agreement shall specify the responsibility for fees and costs arising out of or in connection with the removal or cleanup of hazardous materials or repair, removal or replacement of equipment and storage facilities, in the case of noncompliance with the approved HMMP.

f. Routine Maintenance, Repair or Replacement.

i. The occupant will perform routine maintenance, upkeep and minor repairs in a careful and safe manner. No approvals by the association or the county will be required for such routine maintenance and upkeep.

ii. Any substantial modification or repair of a storage facility other than minor repairs or emergency repairs will require submittal and approval of an amended HMMP which shows such modifications in accordance with subdivision 3 of this subsection prior to the initiation of such work.

iii. The occupant may make emergency repairs to a storage facility in advance to seeking an additional approval whenever an immediate repair is required to prevent or contain an uncontrolled release or to protect the integrity of the containment. However, within five working days after such emergency repairs have been started, the occupant shall seek approval pursuant to subdivision 3 of this subsection by submitting drawings or other information adequate to describe the repairs to the coordinator.

6. Part VI--Emergencies.

a. Uncontrolled Discharge of Hazardous Materials. As soon as any person in charge of a storage facility or responsible for emergency response for a facility has knowledge of any confirmed or unconfirmed uncontrolled discharge of a hazardous material, such person shall take all necessary steps to ensure the discovery and containment and cleanup of such discharge and shall notify the association and the enforcing agency of the occurrence.

b. Cleanup Responsibility. Any occupant responsible for storing the hazardous material shall institute and complete all actions necessary to remedy the effects of any uncontrolled discharge, whether sudden or gradual and shall bear all such costs that are incurred thereof. The enforcing agency may undertake actions to remedy the effects of such uncontrolled discharge itself, if it is determined that it is reasonably necessary under the circumstances to do so. The responsible party shall be liable to reimburse the enforcing agency for all costs incurred in remedying the effects of such uncontrolled release.
