NR 667.0171NR 667.0171What standards apply to the containers? Standards apply to the condition of the containers, to the compatibility of waste with the containers and to the management of the containers.
NR 667.0171(1)(1)Condition of containers. If a container holding hazardous waste is not in good condition (for example, it exhibits severe rusting or apparent structural defects) or if it begins to leak, you shall either:
NR 667.0171(1)(a)(a) Transfer the hazardous waste from this container to a container that is in good condition.
NR 667.0171(1)(b)(b) Manage the waste in some other way that complies with the requirements of this section.
NR 667.0171(2)(2)Compatibility of waste with containers. To ensure that the ability of the container to contain the waste is not impaired, use a container made of or lined with materials that are compatible and will not react with the hazardous waste to be stored.
NR 667.0171(3)(3)Management of containers.
NR 667.0171(3)(a)(a) Always keep a container holding hazardous waste closed during storage, except when you add or remove waste.
NR 667.0171(3)(b)(b) Do not open, handle or store a container holding hazardous waste in a manner that may rupture the container or cause it to leak.

NR 667.0173NR 667.0173What standards apply to the container storage areas?
NR 667.0173(1)(1)Design and operate a containment system for your container storage areas according to the requirements in sub. (2), except as otherwise provided by sub. (3)
NR 667.0173(2)(2)The design and operating requirements for a containment system are:
NR 667.0173(2)(a)(a) A base shall underlie the containers that is free of cracks or gaps and is sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills and accumulated precipitation until the collected material is detected and removed.
NR 667.0173(2)(b)(b) The base shall be sloped, or the containment system shall be otherwise designed and operated to drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks spills, or precipitation, unless the containers are elevated or are otherwise protected from contact with accumulated liquids.
NR 667.0173(2)(c)(c) The containment system shall have sufficient capacity to contain 10% of the volume of containers, or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater. This requirement does not apply to containers that do not contain free liquids.
NR 667.0173(2)(d)(d) Prevent run-on into the containment system unless the collection system has sufficient excess capacity, in addition to that required in par. (c), to contain the liquid.
NR 667.0173(2)(e)(e) Remove any spilled or leaked waste and accumulated precipitation from the sump or collection area as promptly as is necessary to prevent overflow of the collection system.
