Satellite Accumulation Area Inspections

• Store only one container of each waste chemical or waste mixture in a SAA at a time. Do not duplicate waste streams by creating more than one undated waste container for the same chemical.
• Confirm that each container (including eco-funnels) meets these criteria:
  • Is in good condition and does not have issues that could cause leaks, such as severe rusting, cracks, or dents.
  • Is compatible with the type of waste stored.
  • Is securely closed unless someone is actively adding waste.
  • Does not have funnels left in the opening.

Label every container used to store any amount of hazardous waste with:

• A hazardous label affixed to the container.
• The full chemical name of each primary constituent written out in words (no formulas, abbreviations, or symbols). This includes chemical components of waste mixtures.
• The words “Hazardous Waste.”
• The waste type.
• At least one chemical hazard designation.

Confirm all waste is properly segregated:

• Place all containers in secondary containment trays.
• Segregate containers of potentially incompatible waste.
• Use secondary containment for liquid waste containers.
• Store stock (virgin) chemicals separately from waste chemicals.

For full containers and containers otherwise ready for disposal:

• Label each container with the date it was filled or otherwise became ready for disposal.
• List the approximate percentage of each primary constituent in the container.
• Remove all waste containers from the SAA within three days of the date on the label.
