§ 84-63.1012. Determination of project risk — Size.  


Latest version.
  • The size of a development project shall be measured in terms of tons of hazardous material and/or hazardous waste stored as a result of the development project, based upon the fill-to-the-maximum capacity of the development project, including amounts stored in tanks; reactors; columns; process lines; tank cars, tank trucks or rail cars when connection to process equipment; or any other receptacle used for the containment of hazardous materials and/or hazardous wastes. The amount of material in hazard categories A, B, or C to be added to the site as a result of the development project will be used to determine the total amount of change. If more than one category of hazardous material is used, the amounts of materials (A, B, or C) shall be used with the respective hazard category in the formula in Section 84-63.1004.

    The specific gravity of hazardous materials or hazardous wastes may be required to calculate the number of toms (or pounds) of hazardous materials and/or hazardous waste managed at the development project. The standard of two thousand pounds equaling one ton shall be used.

    The point assignment for storage of containerized material in buildings, such as labs or warehouses, shall be based upon the maximum anticipated amount of materials for each hazard category as a result of the development project.
