The secretary may license facilities, which are owned and operated by intrastate hazardous waste cooperatives for handling, transfer, storage, treatment, or disposal of hazardous waste in accordance with requirements of law and the regulations promulgated by the department.  B. Intrastate hazardous waste cooperatives consist of individual businesses, industries, associations, and allied businesses and industries located in the state of Louisiana which generate hazardous waste in the state of Louisiana of a similar nature and quality so as to be compatible for efficient, combined handling, transfer, storage, treatment, or disposal, except that no cooperative may admit to membership, any person, business, corporation, or association that is engaged for a fee or other consideration, in the business of waste transportation, treatment, disposal, or transfer.

No such cooperative shall accept any waste generated outside of the state of Louisiana or generated by a nonmember of such cooperative. Such facility shall not, for the purposes of this Subtitle, be a commercial facility; however, such facility shall not be subject to any less standards and requirements than those provided for the operation of any similar commercial facility, provided however that prior to licensing of any such cooperative facility a public hearing shall be conducted in conformity with the same laws and regulations governing similar such commercial waste facilities.  D. No such cooperative shall begin accepting any waste without having signed its cooperative agreement with the Department of Environmental Quality. No such cooperative shall receive any waste from new or additional members of such cooperative without having first notified the Department of Environmental Quality thirty days prior to the acceptance of such waste.

RS 2187 - Monitoring of drinking water wells which provide public water supplies located near commercial hazardous waste facilities A. The secretary shall adopt and promulgate rules and regulations to ensure that drinking wells which provide public water supplies within a two-mile radius of all commercial hazardous waste disposal facilities shall be sampled and tested in the following manner: (1) The secretary shall establish a test area around each such disposal facility. Such test area shall consist of a circle with a two-mile radius with the disposal facility at its center. (2) The secretary shall divide each such test area into four quadrants of equal size by bisecting the test area twice with lines which are at right angles to each other. (3) The secretary shall select, at random, one drinking well which provides public water supplies in each quadrant and shall sample and test the water from such well. Such selection, sampling, and testing shall be conducted every six months. The secretary shall not select any one such well in a quadrant for retesting until all such wells in that quadrant have been tested, unless there exists some need or reason to retest such well. (4) The purpose of such sampling and testing shall be to insure that the drinking water wells which provide public water supplies located near said disposal facilities are not contaminated with toxic or hazardous pollutants which may be stored, treated, or disposed of at said disposal facility.

RS 2190 - Hazardous wastes from foreign nations; findings; prohibitions  A. The legislature finds and declares that:  (1) The laws of the United States require testing, manifesting, and safe transportation of hazardous wastes to insure proper identification and handling from generation to ultimate disposal. These laws are not applicable to hazardous wastes generated in foreign nations until such wastes are actually in this country.  (2) The laws of foreign nations are inadequate to insure that hazardous wastes sought to be exported to the United States do not contain unknown or unauthorized pollutants and that such wastes are not released into the environment due to inadequate containment, labeling, or handling during transport.  (3) The only practical method for insuring that the environment and the health of the citizens of this state are not endangered by the importation of hazardous wastes generated in foreign nations is to prohibit the introduction or receipt of such wastes into this state for the purpose of treatment, storage, or disposal.  B. It shall be unlawful for any person to transport or cause or allow to be transported into this state, for the purpose of treatment, storage, or disposal, any hazardous waste generated outside the United States and its territories.  C. It shall be unlawful for any person to receive for treatment, storage, or disposal in this state any hazardous waste generated outside the United States or its territories.  D. This Section shall not apply to any hazardous waste generated outside of the United States and its territories which must be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of Public Law 96-478 adopted by the United States Congress and known as the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships. This Section shall only apply to hazardous waste which is imported into this state directly from a foreign nation.  E. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the importation of spent petroleum catalysts from foreign countries for purposes of recycling utilizing processes which produce no hazardous wastes, is not prohibited.

B. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to the disposal or storage of any hazardous or solid waste which must be disposed of according to the provisions of Public Law 96-478, adopted by the United States Congress and known as the Marine Pollution Protocol Law.  C. The commission shall revoke the permit of any permitted hazardous waste facility which hereafter disposes of hazardous waste generated in a country other than the United States. This power shall be in addition to other powers and remedies available to the Commission under this Subtitle.  D.
