Temporary storage area shall be located away from vehicular traffic, near the construction <br /> • entrance(s),and away from waterways or storm drains. <br /> • 2. Material safety data sheets shall be supplied for all materials stored. Chemicals shall be kept in <br /> • their original labeled containers. <br /> • 3. Hazardous material storage on site shall be minimized. <br /> • 4. Hazardous materials should be handled as infrequently as possible. <br /> • 5. During the wet weather season(October 1 to April 30), storage of materials in a covered area <br /> • shall be considered. <br /> • 6. Materials should be stored in secondary containments, such as earthen dike, horse trough,or even <br /> a children's wading pool for non-reactive materials such as detergents, oil,grease,and paints. <br /> • Small amounts of material may be secondarily contained in"bus boy"trays or concrete mixing <br /> • trays. <br /> • 7. Chemicals, drums,or bagged materials shall not be stored directly on the ground. Place these <br /> • items on a pallet and,when possible, in secondary containment. <br /> • 8. If drums must be kept uncovered, store them at a slight angle to reduce ponding of rainwater on <br /> the lids to reduce corrosion. Domed plastic covers are inexpensive and snap to the top of drums, <br /> • preventing water from collecting. <br /> • Material Storage Areas and Secondary Containment Practices: <br /> • 1. Liquids,petroleum products, and substances listed in 40 CFR Parts 110, 117, or 302 shall be <br /> • stored in approved containers and drums and shall not be overfilled.
