Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part V - Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Materials › Subpart 1 - Department of Environmental Quality-Hazardous Waste › Chapter 18 - Containment Buildings › Section V-1802 - Design and Operating Standards

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. All containment buildings must comply with
				  the following design standards.
1. The
				  containment building must be completely enclosed with a floor, walls, and a
				  roof to prevent exposure to the elements, (e.g., precipitation, wind, run-on)
				  and to ensure containment of managed wastes.
2. The floor and containment walls of the
				  unit, including the secondary containment system if required under LAC
				  33:V.1802.B, must be designed and constructed of materials of sufficient
				  strength and thickness to support themselves, the waste contents, and any
				  personnel and heavy equipment that operate within the unit and to prevent
				  failure due to pressure gradients, settlement, compression, uplift, physical
				  contact with the hazardous wastes to which they are exposed, climatic
				  conditions, and the stresses of daily operation, including the movement of
				  heavy equipment within the unit and contact of such equipment with containment
				  walls. The unit must be designed so that it has sufficient structural strength
				  to prevent collapse or other failure. All surfaces to be in contact with
				  hazardous wastes must be chemically compatible with those wastes. The
				  administrative authority will consider standards established by professional
				  organizations generally recognized by the industry, such as the American
				  Concrete Institute (ACI) and the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM),
				  in judging the structural integrity requirements of LAC 33:V.1802.A. If
				  appropriate to the nature of the waste management operation to take place in
				  the unit, an exception to the structural strength requirement may be made for
				  light-weight doors and windows that meet these criteria:
a. they provide an effective barrier against
				  fugitive dust emissions under LAC 33:V.1802.C.1.d; and
b. the unit is designed and operated in a
				  fashion that ensures that wastes will not actually come in contact with these
				  openings.
3.
				  Incompatible hazardous wastes or treatment reagents must not be placed in the
				  unit or its secondary containment system if they could cause the unit or
				  secondary containment system to leak, corrode, or otherwise fail.
4. A containment building must have a primary
				  barrier designed to withstand the movement of personnel, waste, and handling
				  equipment in the unit during the operating life of the unit and be appropriate
				  for the physical and chemical characteristics of the waste to be
				  managed.

				  containment system components (liners, etc.), contaminated subsoils, and
				  structures and equipment contaminated with waste and leachate and manage them
				  as hazardous waste unless LAC 33:V.109.
Hazardous Waste
applies. The closure plan, closure activities, cost estimates for closure, and
				  financial responsibility for containment buildings must meet all of the
				  requirements specified in LAC 33:V.Chapters 35 and 37.
B. If, after removing or decontaminating all
				  residues and making all reasonable efforts to effect removal or decontamination
				  of contaminated components, subsoils, structures, and equipment as required in
				  Subsection A of this Section, the owner or operator finds that not all
				  contaminated subsoils can be practicably removed or decontaminated, he must
				  either:
1. close the facility and perform
				  post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure requirements
				  that apply to landfills (LAC 33:V.2521). In addition, for the purposes of
				  closure, post-closure, and financial responsibility, such a containment
				  building is then considered to be a landfill and the owner or operator must
				  meet all of the requirements for landfills specified in LAC 33:V.Chapters 35
				  and 37; or
2. perform a risk
				  assessment to demonstrate that closure with the remaining contaminant levels in
				  protective of human health and the environment in accordance with LAC
				  33:I.Chapter 13. Any such risk assessment is subject to approval by the
				  administrative authority and must demonstrate that post-closure care is not
				  necessary to adequately protect human health and the environment.

A. This Chapter is adopted pursuant to the
					 authority of Act 1984, Number 803, as amended by Act 1986, Number 422, and Act
					 1987, Number 852, cited as Louisiana Revised Statutes Title 30, Section 2193.
B. The purpose of these
					 regulations is to provide for prohibitions and incentives designed to encourage
					 alternative methods of hazardous waste disposal, destruction, and reduction; to
					 lessen the possibility of hazardous waste releases from existing land disposal
					 sites; and to provide for the eventual prohibition of land disposal of
					 hazardous waste.
C. This Chapter
					 identifies hazardous wastes that are restricted from land disposal and defines
					 those limited circumstances under which an otherwise prohibited waste may
					 continue to be land disposed.
D.
					 The requirements of this Chapter apply to all persons who generate or transport
					 hazardous waste and to owners and operators of hazardous waste treatment,
					 storage, and disposal facilities.
E. These regulations shall be construed and
					 implemented to support the use of the following waste management practices in
					 the following order of priority:
1. reduction
					 of hazardous waste generated;
2.
					 recycling of hazardous waste;
3.
					 treatment of hazardous waste; and
4. land disposal of residuals from hazardous
					 waste recycling and treatment.

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The storage of hazardous wastes prohibited
					 from land disposal is prohibited except under the following conditions.
1. A generator may store such wastes in
					 tanks, containers, or containment buildings on-site solely for the purpose of
					 accumulating such quantities of hazardous waste as are necessary to facilitate
					 proper recovery, treatment, or disposal and the generator complies with the
					 requirements of LAC 33:V.1013, 1015, Chapters 10, 11, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23,
					 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 35, 37, 43, and 51.
2. An owner/operator of a hazardous waste
					 treatment, storage, or disposal facility may store such wastes in tanks,
					 containers, or containment buildings solely for the purpose of accumulating
					 such quantities of hazardous waste as are necessary to facilitate proper
					 recovery, treatment, or disposal provided that:
a. each container is clearly marked to
					 identify its contents and with:
i. the words
					 "Hazardous Waste";
ii. the
					 applicable EPA hazardous waste number(s) (EPA hazardous waste codes) in LAC
					 33:V.4901 and 4903; or use a nationally recognized electronic system, such as
					 bar coding, to identify the EPA hazardous waste number(s);
iii. an indication of the hazards of the
					 contents (examples include, but are not limited to, the applicable hazardous
					 waste characteristic(s) (i.e., ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic); hazard
					 communication consistent with the U.S. Department of Transportation
					 requirements at  49 CFR part 172  subpart E (labeling) or subpart F (placarding);
					 a hazard statement or pictogram consistent with the U.S. Occupational Safety
					 and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standard at
					 29 CFR
					 1910.1200; or a chemical hazard label
					 consistent with the National Fire Protection Association code 704); and
iv. the date each period of
					 accumulation begins; and
b. each tank is clearly marked with a
					 description of its contents, the quantity of each hazardous waste received, and
					 the date each period of accumulation begins, or such information for each tank
					 is recorded and maintained in the operating record at that facility. Regardless
					 of whether the tank itself is marked, an owner/operator must comply with the
					 operating record requirements specified in LAC 33:V.1529 or 4357.
3. A transporter may store
					 manifested shipments of such wastes at a transfer facility for 10 days or less
					 with the approval of the administrative authority in accordance with LAC
					 33:V.1305.

A. Except as provided in Subsection B of this
					 Section, no generator, transporter, handler, or owner or operator of a
					 treatment, storage, or disposal facility shall in any way dilute a prohibited
					 waste or the residual from treatment of a prohibited waste as a substitute for
					 adequate treatment to achieve compliance with this Chapter, to circumvent the
					 effective date of or otherwise avoid a prohibition listed in Subchapter A of
					 this Chapter, or to circumvent a land disposal prohibition imposed by RCRA
					 Section 3004.
B. Dilution of
					 wastes that are hazardous only because they exhibit a characteristic in
					 treatment systems that include land-based units which treat wastes subsequently
					 discharged to a water of the United States pursuant to a permit issued under
					 Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) or which treat wastes in a
					 CWA-equivalent treatment system or which treat wastes for purposes of
					 pretreatment requirements under
					 Section
					 307 of the CWA is not
					 impermissible dilution for purposes of this Section unless a method other than
					 DEACT has been specified in LAC 33:V.2223 as the treatment standard, or unless
					 the waste is a D003 reactive cyanide wastewater or nonwastewater.
C. Combustion of the hazardous waste codes
					 listed in LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 5 is prohibited, unless the waste, at
					 the point of generation, or after any bona fide treatment, such as cyanide
					 destruction prior to combustion, can be demonstrated to comply with one or more
					 of the following criteria (unless otherwise specifically prohibited from
					 combustion):
1. the waste contains hazardous
					 organic constituents or cyanide at levels exceeding the constituent-specific
					 treatment standard found in LAC 33:V.2299.Appendix, Table 7;
2. the waste consists of organic, debris-like
					 materials (e.g., wood, paper, plastic, or cloth) contaminated with an inorganic
					 metal-bearing hazardous waste;
3.
					 the waste, at point of generation, has reasonable heating value, such as
					 greater than or equal to 5,000 BTU per pound;
4. the waste is cogenerated with wastes for
					 which combustion is a required method of treatment;
5. the waste is subject to federal and/or
					 state requirements necessitating reduction of organics (including biological
					 agents); or
6. the waste contains
					 greater than 1 percent Total Organic Carbon (TOC).
