Maria, 
What is the generator status of your facility and what state are you in?  
I'm not familiar with the classification called "episodic generator".  A 
HW generator typically falls into one of three categories:  Large Quantity 
Generator (LQG); Small Quantity Generator (SQG), and Conditionally Exempt 
Generator.  Those 90-day hazardous waste rules apply to LQGs.  If your 
facility's "episode" generated 2200 lbs in a single calendar month, then 
it's classified as an LQG for the entire year, and indeed all those 90-day 
rules, signage, and fees apply.  
If you would tell me your facility's generator status, then I can give you 
a more accurate answer as to what your facility's HW regulatory requirement
s might be.

Does anyone know what the regulatory citation is for signage for a 90 
day 
area?  Usually, you see signage that says something like "Hazardous 
Waste 
Accumulation Area" then some other verbage which I've seen vary.  I 
can't 
find the citation.  This is for an episodic generator, not a TSDF.
