with similar products and "bulked" in storage tanks, then
taken to appropriate treatment or disposal facilities, or it
may be taken directly to appropriate facilities. If it is to
be "bulked" with other products, it will be filtered as it is
pumped into the storage tanks and allowed to sit for a few

drained off. Bulked materials may be hauled away by the
establishment's own trucks or by common carrier.
