Which volume threshold defines non-bulk liquids?

• A. Less than 100 gallons
• B. Less than 150 gallons
• C. Less than 119 gallons
• D. Less than 200 gallons

Answer: (C)

Non-bulk liquids are defined by a specific volume cutoff: liquids packaged in containers with a capacity less than 119 gallons are considered non-bulk. Any liquid packaging of 119 gallons or more is treated as bulk. This distinction matters because bulk quantities trigger more stringent handling, packaging, labeling, and documentation requirements. The 119-gallon threshold (about 450 liters) is the standard used in hazmat regulations to separate non-bulk from bulk liquids. So the option describing “less than 119 gallons” is the correct definition of non-bulk liquids.
