Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 616.724
Design and Operating Requirements for Indoor Storage Facilities
Effective May 16, 202347 Ill. Reg. 7631AUTHORITY: Implementing Sections 5, 14.4, 21, and 22, and authorized by Section 27 of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/5, 14.4, 21, 22, 27].POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
- a) The base of the facility must be constructed of materials capable of containing de-icing agents (i.e., bituminous or concrete pad).
- b) The roof and walls of the facility must be constructed of materials capable of protecting the storage pile from precipitation and capable of preventing dissolved de-icing agents from entering into the adjacent soil, surface water, or groundwater. The walls of the facility must be constructed of materials compatible with the de-icing agents to be placed in the facility. Run-off from the roof must be diverted away from the loading pad.
- c) The loading pad of the facility must be constructed of materials capable of containing a spill (i.e., concrete or bituminous pad). The borders of the loading pad must be curbed to prevent dry or dissolved de-icing agents from migrating from the loading pad into the adjacent soils, surface water, or groundwater. The loading pad must be covered by a roof of sufficient size to provide the pad and de-icing agents with protection from precipitation to prevent run-off or dissolved de-icing agents from entering into the adjacent soil, surface water, or groundwater.
- d) All areas surrounding the storage pile, including the loading pad, must be routinely inspected to determine whether any release of de-icing agents has occurred. These areas must be cleaned as necessary. Spilled de-icing agents must be placed back under the protective covering of the indoor storage pile. The storage pile must be reshaped as often as necessary to prevent leaching.
- e) The integrity of the facility and loading pad must be maintained.
- f) All areas surrounding the storage facility must be inspected daily to determine whether any release of de-icing agents has occurred. Spilled de-icing agents must be placed back into the storage facility.
