You must comply with bulk storage rules if your business distributes or sells liquid pesticides in containers larger than 55 gallons.

You must comply with bulk storage rules if your business distributes or sells liquid pesticides in containers larger than 55 gallons.

• A. Liquid pesticides in containers exceeding 35 gallons
• B. Solid pesticides in quantities less than 100 pounds
• C. Liquid pesticides in containers larger than 100 gallons
• D. Liquid pesticides in containers larger than 55 gallons

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that bulk storage rules for pesticides apply based on the size of the liquid container, with a threshold at 55 gallons. If you’re distributing or selling liquid pesticides in containers larger than 55 gallons, you must comply with those bulk storage requirements because larger quantities pose greater spill and handling risks. The scenario described—liquid pesticides in containers bigger than 55 gallons—fits this rule and triggers the bulk storage standards. The other options miss the rule because they either involve solids (not covered by these liquid bulk storage rules) or use incorrect thresholds (35 gallons or 100 gallons) that don’t match the 55-gallon limit.
