1. In the case when hazardous waste is already in the container at the time the owner or operator first accepts possession of the container at the facility and the container is not emptied within 24 hours after the container is accepted at the facility (i.e., does not meet the conditions for an empty container in s.
NR 661.0007 (2)), the owner or operator shall visually inspect the container and its cover and closure devices to check for visible cracks, holes, gaps or other open spaces into the interior of the container when the cover and closure devices are secured in the closed position. The container visual inspection shall be conducted on or before the date that the container is accepted at the facility (i.e., the date the container becomes subject to the container standards in this subchapter). For purposes of this subdivision, the date of acceptance is the date of signature that the facility owner or operator enters on Item 20 of the uniform hazardous waste manifest (EPA forms 8700-22 and 8700-22A), as required in s.
NR 665.0071. If a defect is detected, the owner or operator shall repair the defect according to subd.
3. NR 665.1087(4)(d)2.
2. In the case when a container used for managing hazardous waste remains at the facility for a period of one year or more, visually inspect the container and its cover and closure devices initially and thereafter, at least once every 12 months, to check for visible cracks, holes, gaps or other open spaces into the interior of the container when the cover and closure devices are secured in the closed position. If a defect is detected, repair the defect according to subd.
3. NR 665.1087(4)(d)3.
3. When a defect is detected for the container, cover or closure devices, make first efforts at repair of the defect no later than 24 hours after detection, and complete the repair as soon as possible but no later than 5 calendar days after detection. If repair of a defect cannot be completed within 5 calendar days, remove the hazardous waste from the container and do not use the container to manage hazardous waste until the defect is repaired.
