Foreword

This Standard was formulated for the purposes of implementing Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China, Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People’s Republic of China, and the like laws and regulations; preventing the environment pollution; improving the ecological quality; and standardizing the environmental management of the hazardous waste storage. This standard specifies the general requirements for pollution control in the storage of hazardous wastes; the requirements for the site selection and pollution control of storage facilities; the requirements for pollution control of containers and packaging; the requirements for pollution control during the storage process; as well as environmental management requirements such as pollutant emissions, environmental monitoring, environmental emergency response, implementation and supervision, etc. This Standard was first-time published in 2001; first-time revised hereby. The main contents of this revision include. --- Add and improve relevant terms and definitions; --- Add "general requirements"; --- Refine the classification of hazardous waste storage facilities and supplement the relevant environmental management requirements for storage points; --- Improve the site selection and construction requirements for hazardous waste storage facilities; --- Revise the pollution prevention, operation management and decommissioning requirements for hazardous waste storage facilities; --- Supplement the environmental emergency requirements for hazardous waste storage facilities; --- Delete the requirements related to medical waste and Appendixes A and B. This Standard was organized to formulate by Department of Solid Wastes and Chemicals, and Department of Laws, Regulations, and Standards of Ministry of Ecology and Environment. Chief drafting organizations of this Standard. Shenyang Academy of Environmental Sciences (National Environmental Protection Hazardous Waste Disposal Engineering Technology < Shenyang> Center); Solid Waste and Chemicals Management Center, Ministry of Ecology and Environment; Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences; and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. This Standard was approved by Ministry of Ecology and Environment on January 20, 2023. This Standard was implemented since July 1, 2023.Standard for Pollution Control on Hazardous Waste Storage (GB 18597-2001) was abolished since the implementation date of this Standard. Local governments may implement this Standard in advance based on the needs of local ecological and environmental protection and economic and technical conditions, with the approval of the provincial people's government. This Standard is interpreted by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. Standard for Pollution Control on Hazardous Waste Storage

1 Scope

This Standard specifies the general requirements for pollution control of hazardous waste storage; the requirements for site selection and pollution control of storage facilities; the requirements for pollution control of containers and packaging materials; the requirements for pollution control during storage process; and the requirements for environmental management such as pollutant emissions, environmental monitoring, environmental emergency response, implementation and supervision. This standard applies to the pollution control and environmental management for site selection, construction and operation of new, rebuilt and expanded hazardous waste storage facilities for organizations that generate, collect, store, utilize and dispose of hazardous wastes; and also applies to the pollution control and environmental management during the operation of existing hazardous waste storage facilities. This Standard does not apply to temporary storage during the cleanup of historical stockpiled hazardous wastes. If there are other provisions for the storage of specific hazardous wastes in other national solid waste pollution control standards, the relevant provisions shall be implemented.
