  4. What is the minimum secondary containment capacity required for a single AST under EPA SPCC regulations?

    Answer: 110% of the largest tank's capacity

    EPA SPCC regulations require secondary containment sufficient to hold 110% of the largest single tank's capacity.

  5. Under 29 CFR 1910.106, flammable liquids stored in inside storage rooms must have floors that are either liquid-tight or equipped with:

    Answer: A raised sill or ramp at the door opening

    OSHA requires flammable liquid storage rooms to have liquid-tight floors or a raised sill/ramp to contain spills and prevent liquid from spreading.

  6. Pyrophoric materials must be stored under which conditions to prevent ignition?

    Answer: Under an inert atmosphere or in sealed containers away from air and moisture

    Pyrophoric materials ignite spontaneously on contact with air and must be stored under inert gas or in sealed, air-free containers.

  7. Which of the following best describes a 'Very Small Quantity Generator' (VSQG) under RCRA's 2016 Generator Improvements Rule?

    Answer: A generator that produces 100 kg or less of hazardous waste per calendar month and stores no more than 1,000 kg on-site

    VSQGs generate 100 kg or less of hazardous waste and 1 kg or less of acute hazardous waste per month under 40 CFR 262.14.
