Section 733
Section 733.115 Accumulation
Time Limits
a) A small quantity handler of universal waste may accumulate
universal waste for no longer than one year from the date the universal waste
is generated or received from another handler, unless the requirements of
subsection (b) are met.
b) A small quantity handler of universal waste may accumulate
universal waste for longer than one year from the date the universal waste is
generated or received from another handler if such activity is solely for the
purpose of accumulation of such quantities of universal waste as are necessary
to facilitate proper recovery, treatment, or disposal. However, the handler
bears the burden of proving that such activity is solely for the purpose of
accumulation of such quantities of universal waste as are necessary to facilitate
proper recovery, treatment, or disposal.
c) A small quantity handler of universal waste that accumulates
universal waste must be able to demonstrate the length of time that the
universal waste has been accumulated from the date it becomes a waste or is received.
The handler may make this demonstration in any of the following ways:
1) Placing the universal waste in a container and marking or
labeling the container with the earliest date that any universal waste in the
container became a waste or was received;
2) Marking or labeling each individual item of universal waste
(e.g., each battery or thermostat) with the date it became a waste or was
received;
3) Maintaining an on-site inventory system that identifies the
date each universal waste became a waste or was received;
4) Maintaining an on-site inventory system that identifies the
earliest date that any universal waste in a group of universal waste items or a
group of containers of universal waste became a waste or was received;
5) Placing the universal waste in a specific accumulation area
and identifying the earliest date that any universal waste in the area became a
waste or was received; or
6) Any other method that clearly demonstrates the length of time
that the universal waste has been accumulated from the date it became a waste
or was received.
