					 action leakage rate is the maximum design flow rate that the leak detection
					 system (LDS) can remove without the fluid head on the bottom liner exceeding 1
					 foot. The action leakage rate must include an adequate safety margin to allow
					 for uncertainties in the design (e.g., slope, hydraulic conductivity, thickness
					 of drainage material), construction, operation, and location of the LDS, waste
					 and leachate characteristics, likelihood and amounts of other sources of
					 liquids in the LDS, and proposed response actions (e.g., the action leakage
					 rate must consider decreases in the flow capacity of the system over time
					 resulting from siltation and clogging, rib layover and creep of synthetic
					 components of the system, overburden pressures, etc.).
C. To determine if the action leakage rate
					 has been exceeded, the owner or operator must convert the weekly flow rate from
					 the monitoring data obtained under LAC 33:V.4470, to an average daily flow rate
					 (gallons per acre per day) for each sump. Unless the administrative authority
					 approves a different calculation, the average daily flow rate for each sump
					 must be calculated weekly during the active life and closure period.
