Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Any landfill that is not covered by LAC
				  33:V.2503.K or 4512.A must have a liner system for all portions of the landfill
				  (except for existing portions of such landfill). The liner system must have:
1. a liner that is designed, constructed, and
				  installed to prevent any migration of wastes out of the landfill to the
				  adjacent subsurface soil, or groundwater or surface water throughout the active
				  life (including the closure period) of the landfill. The liner, at a minimum,
				  must consist of a synthetic liner laid on top of a permanent barrier at the
				  bottom and along the sides of the landfill. The liner must be constructed of
				  materials that prevent wastes from passing into the liner during the active
				  life of the facility. The liner must be installed to cover all surrounding
				  earth likely to be in contact with the waste or leachate. The liner must be:
a. constructed of materials that have
				  appropriate chemical properties and sufficient strength and thickness to
				  prevent failure due to pressure gradients (including static head and external
				  hydrogeologic forces), physical contact with waste or leachate to which they
				  are exposed, climatic conditions, the stress of installation, and the stress of
				  daily operation;
b. placed upon a
				  foundation or base capable of providing support to the liner and resistance to
				  pressure gradients above and below the liner to prevent failure of the liner
				  due to settlement, compression, or uplift;
c. be resistant to the action of the
				  elements, contents placement (including equipment used to place contents), and
				  chemical action of the contents by means protecting the integrity of the
				  barrier; and
d. the permanent
				  barrier shall be at least 3 feet of recompacted clay with a permeability of 1 x
				  10-7 cm/sec or less and so designed and operated as
				  to prevent endangering any fresh-water aquifer by the migration of contaminants
				  from the facility, or equivalent system acceptable to administrative authority;

Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part V - Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Materials › Subpart 1 - Department of Environmental Quality-Hazardous Waste › Chapter 25 - Landfills › Section V-2504 - Action Leakage Rate

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The
				  administrative authority shall approve an action leakage rate for landfill
				  units subject to LAC 33:V.2503.L or M. The 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.).
B. To
				  determine if the action leakage rate has been exceeded, the owner or operator
				  must convert the weekly or monthly flow rate from the monitoring data obtained
				  under LAC 33:V.2507.D 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 and monthly during the
				  post-closure care period when monthly monitoring is required under LAC
				  33:V.2507.D.

B. During construction or installation,
				  liners (except in the case of existing portions of landfills exempt from LAC
				  33:V.2503.A) and cover systems (e.g., membranes, sheets, or coatings) must be
				  inspected for uniformity, damage, and imperfections (e.g., holes, cracks, thin
				  spots, or foreign materials). Immediately after construction or installation:
1. synthetic liners and covers must be
				  inspected to ensure tight seams and joints and the absence of tears, punctures,
				  or blisters; and
2. soil-based and
				  admixed liners and covers must be inspected for imperfections including lenses,
				  cracks, channels, root holes, or other structural non-uniformities that may
				  cause an increase in the permeability of the liner or cover.

				  notify the Office of Environmental Services in writing of the exceedance within
				  seven days of the determination;
2.
				  submit a preliminary written assessment to the Office of Environmental
				  Services, within 14 days of the determination, as to the amount of liquids,
				  likely sources of liquids, possible location, size, and cause of any leaks, and
				  short-term actions taken and planned;
3. determine to the extent practicable the
				  location, size, and cause of any leak;
4. determine whether waste receipt should
				  cease or be curtailed, whether any waste should be removed from the unit for
				  inspection, repairs, or controls, and whether or not the unit should be
				  closed;
5. determine any other
				  short-term and long-term actions to be taken to mitigate or stop any leaks;
				  and
6. within 30 days after the
				  notification that the action leakage rate has been exceeded, submit to the
				  Office of Environmental Services the results of the analyses specified in LAC

				  pile must be located within the contiguous property under the control of the
				  owner/operator where the wastes to be managed in the staging pile originated.
				  Staging piles must be designated by the administrative authority according to
				  the requirements in this Section. For the purposes of this Section, storage
				  includes mixing, sizing, blending, or other similar physical operations as long
				  as they are intended to prepare the wastes for subsequent management or
				  treatment.
B. When may I use a
				  staging pile? You may use a staging pile to store hazardous remediation waste
				  (or remediation waste otherwise subject to land disposal restrictions) only if
				  you follow the standards and design criteria the administrative authority has
				  designated for that staging pile. The administrative authority must designate
				  the staging pile in a permit or, at an interim status facility, in a closure
				  plan or order (consistent with LAC 33:V.4303.A.5 and B.5). The administrative
				  authority must establish conditions in the permit, closure plan, or order that
				  comply with Subsections D-K of this Section.
C. What information must I provide to get a
				  staging pile designated? When seeking a staging pile designation, you must
				  provide:
1. sufficient and accurate
				  information to enable the administrative authority to impose standards and
				  design criteria for your staging pile according to Subsections D-K of this
				  Section;
2. certification by an
				  independent, qualified professional engineer for technical data, such as design
				  drawings and specifications, and engineering studies, unless the administrative
				  authority determines, based on information that you provide, that this
				  certification is not necessary to ensure that a staging pile will protect human
				  health and the environment; and
3.
				  any additional information the administrative authority determines is necessary
				  to protect human health and the environment.
