Standard for pollution control on hazardous waste storage
1 Application scope
This standard specifies the general requirements, site selection and pollution control requirements for storage facilities, pollution control requirements for containers and packagings, pollution control requirements for storage process, and environmental management requirements such as pollutant emission, environmental monitoring, environmental emergency planning, implementation and supervision in terms of the pollution control on hazardous waste storage.
This standard is applicable to pollution control and environmental management in site selection, construction and operation of the hazardous waste storage facilities newly built, renovated or expanded by the units that produce, collect, store, utilize and dispose of hazardous wastes, as well as to pollution control and environmental management during operation of existing hazardous waste storage facilities.
This standard is not applicable to temporary stacking during cleanup of historically stored hazardous wastes.
If there are other provisions for the storage of specific hazardous wastes in other national standards for pollution control on solid wastes, the relevant provisions shall be implemented.
