Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part V - Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Materials › Subpart 1 - Department of Environmental Quality-Hazardous Waste › Chapter 13 - Transporters › Section V-1301 - Applicability

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The revised
				  manifest form and procedures in
				  40
				  CFR 260.10,
				  261.7,
				  263.20, and
				  263.21,
				  had an effective date of September 5, 2006. The manifest form and procedures in
				  40
				  CFR 260.10,
				  261.7,
				  263.20, and
				  263.21,
				  contained in 40 CFR parts 260 to 265, edition revised as of July 1, 2004, were
				  applicable until September 5, 2006. This Chapter establishes standards that
				  apply to persons transporting hazardous waste within the state of Louisiana if
				  the transportation requires a manifest under LAC 33:V.1516.
B. The regulations set forth in LAC
				  33:V.Chapters 10, 11 and 13 establish the responsibilities of generators and
				  transporters in the handling, transportation and management of hazardous waste.
				  In these regulations, Louisiana has expressly adopted certain regulations of
				  the Department of Public Safety (DPS). These regulations concern, among other
				  things, labeling, marking, placarding, using proper containers and reporting
				  discharges. The department has adopted these regulations in order to satisfy
				  its statutory obligation to promulgate regulations which are necessary to
				  protect human health and the environment in the transportation of hazardous
				  waste. The department adoption of these DPS regulations ensures consistency
				  with the requirements of DPS and thus avoids the establishment of duplicative
				  or conflicting requirements with respect to these matters.
C. Transporters of hazardous waste are
				  cautioned that DPS's regulations are fully applicable to their activities and
				  enforceable by DPS. The department and DPS worked together to develop standards
				  for transporters of hazardous waste in order to avoid conflicting requirements.
				  Regardless of DPS's action, the department retains its authority to enforce
				  these regulations.
D. This Chapter
				  does not apply to:
1. on-site transportation
				  of hazardous waste by generators or by owners or operators of permitted
				  hazardous waste management facilities; and
2. any person who offers for transportation
				  or who transports household refuse or household septic tank pumping from the
				  site where it was generated, if those materials are not transported with any
				  other hazardous waste.

A. A transporter who stores manifested
				  shipments of hazardous waste at a transfer facility for more than 10 days is
				  considered a storage facility and is required to obtain a permit in compliance
				  with the conditions of these regulations.
B. If hazardous wastes from different
				  generators or separate wastes from the same generator become mixed after being
				  accepted by the transporter, the transporter shall also comply with applicable
				  federal or state generator standards unless the transporter shows that the
				  information on the manifests still identifies the hazardous waste.
C. A transporter who stores manifested
				  shipments of hazardous waste in containers meeting the independent requirements
				  applicable to the DPS regulations on packaging under LAC 33:V.Subpart 2.Chapter
				  101 at a transfer facility for a period of 10 days or less is not subject to
				  regulation under LAC 33:V.Chapters 1-7, 15-29, 31-38, and 43 with respect to

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A.
				  Hazardous Waste Chemical and Physical Analysis
1. Before an owner or operator treats,
				  stores, or disposes of any hazardous waste, or non-hazardous wastes if
				  applicable under LAC 33:V.3513.D, he or she must obtain a detailed chemical and
				  physical analysis of a representative sample of the waste. At a minimum, this
				  analysis must contain all the information which must be known to treat, store,
				  or dispose of the waste in accordance with all requirements of LAC
				  33:V.Chapters 15 and 22.
2. The
				  analysis may include data developed under LAC 33:V.Chapter 49 and existing
				  published or documented data on the hazardous waste or on hazardous waste
				  generated from similar processes.
COMMENT: For example, the facility's records of analyses
					 performed on the waste before the effective date of these regulations, or
					 studies conducted on hazardous waste generated from processes similar to that
					 which generated the waste to be managed at the facility, may be included in the
					 data base required to comply with Paragraph A.1 of this Section. The owner or
					 operator of an off-site facility may arrange for the generator of the hazardous
					 waste to supply part of the information required by Paragraph A.1 of this
					 Section, except as otherwise specified in LAC 33:V.2247.A and A.1. If the
					 generator does not supply the information and the owner or operator chooses to
					 accept a hazardous waste, the owner or operator is responsible for obtaining
					 the information required to comply with this Section.
3. The analysis must be repeated as necessary
				  to ensure that it is accurate and up to date. At a minimum, the analysis must
				  be repeated:
a. when the owner or operator is
				  notified, or has reason to believe, that the process or operation generating
				  the hazardous waste or nonhazardous waste if applicable under LAC 33:V.3513.D,
				  has changed; and
b. for off-site
				  facilities, when the results of the inspection required in LAC 33:V.1519.A.4
				  indicate that the hazardous waste received at the facility does not match the
				  waste designated in the accompanying manifest or shipping paper.
4. The owner or operator of an
				  off-site facility must inspect and, if necessary, analyze each hazardous waste
				  movement received at the facility to determine whether it matches the identity
				  of the waste specified on the accompanying manifest or shipping
				  paper.
