Let's begin by defining what a Satellite Accumulation Area (SAA) is. Simply stated, it's a designated area used to store hazardous waste temporarily.
Because SAAs are designed to be temporary, environmental regulations for these areas are a bit less stringent than those for 90- or 180-day hazardous waste storage areas. This does not mean they are any less important, however. Ignoring SAA requirements can lead to non-compliance with environmental regulations.
