WSA.
C6.3.8.4.3. Hazardous special waste shall not be stored longer than one year in a
C6.3.8.5. Requirements for TWSAs and WSAs
C6.3.8.5.1. Location Standards. To the maximum extent possible, all TWSAs and
WSAs will be located to minimize the risk of release due to seismic activity, floods, or other
natural events. For facilities located where they may face such risks, the installation spill
prevention and control plan must address the risk.
C6.3.8.5.2. Design & Operation of TWSAs and WSAs. TWSAs and WSAs must
be designed, constructed, maintained, and operated to minimize the possibility of a fire,
explosion, or any unplanned release of HW or HW constituents to air, soil, groundwater or
surface water that could threaten human health or the environment.
C6.3.8.5.3. Security
C6.3.8.5.3.1. General. The installation must prevent the unknowing entry, and
minimize the possibility for unauthorized entry (of persons or livestock) onto the TWSAs and/or
WSAs.
C6.3.8.5.3.2. Security System Design. An acceptable security system for a
TWSA and/or WSA consists of either:
C6.3.8.5.3.2.1 A 24-hour surveillance system (e.g., television monitoring or
surveillance by guards or other designated personnel) that continuously monitors and controls entry
into the TWSA and/or WSA; or
C6.3.8.5.3.2.2 An artificial or natural barrier (e.g., a fence in good repair or a
fence combined with a cliff) that completely surrounds the TWSA and/or WSA, combined with a
means to control entrance at all times (e.g., an attendant, television monitors, locked gate, or
controlled roadway access).
C6.3.8.5.3.3. Required Signs. A sign with the legend "Danger - Unauthorized
Personnel Keep Out," must be posted at each entrance to the TWSA and/or WSA, and at other
locations, in sufficient numbers to be seen from any approach to the TWSA and/or WSA. The
legend must be written in English and in any other language predominant in the area surrounding
the installation, and must be legible from a distance of at least 25 feet. Existing signs with a
legend other than "Danger - Unauthorized Personnel Keep Out," may be used if the legend on the
sign indicates that only authorized personnel are allowed to enter the TWSA and/or WSA, and
that entry can be dangerous.
