Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. A
					 generator may accumulate as much as 55 gallons of nonacute hazardous waste
					 and/or either one quart of liquid acute hazardous waste listed in LAC
					 33:V.4901.B or E, or 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of solid acute hazardous waste listed in
					 LAC 33:V.4901.B or E in containers at or near any point of generation where
					 waste initially accumulate which is under the control of the operator of the
					 process generating the waste, without a permit or interim status and without
					 complying with the requirements of LAC 33:V.Subpart 1, provided that all of the
					 conditions for exemption in this Section are met. A generator may comply with
					 the conditions for exemption in this Section instead of complying with the
					 conditions for exemption in LAC 33:V.1013.C. or 1015.B, except as required in
					 Paragraphs A. 7 and 8 of this Section. The conditions for exemption for
					 satellite accumulation are included in Paragraphs 1 -8 below.
1. If a container holding hazardous waste is
					 not in good condition, or if it begins to leak, the generator shall immediately
					 transfer the hazardous waste from this container to a container that is in good
					 condition and does not leak, or immediately transfer and manage the waste in a
					 central accumulation area operated in compliance with LAC 33:V.1013.Cor
					 1015.B.
2. The generator shall use
					 a container made of or lined with materials that will not react with, and are
					 otherwise compatible with, the hazardous waste to be accumulated, so that the
					 ability of the container to contain the waste is not impaired.
3. Special Standards for Incompatible Wastes
a. Incompatible wastes, or incompatible
					 wastes and materials (see LAC 33:V.199.Appendix B for examples), shall not be
					 placed in the same container, unless the generator complies with LAC
					 33:V.1517.B.
b. Hazardous waste
					 shall not be placed in an unwashed container that previously held an
					 incompatible waste or material, unless the generator complies with LAC
					 33:V.1517.B.
c. A container holding
					 a hazardous waste that is incompatible with any waste or other material
					 accumulated nearby in other containers shall be separated from the other
					 materials or protected from them by any practical means.
4. A container holding hazardous waste shall
					 be closed at all times during accumulation, except:
a. when adding, removing, or consolidating
					 waste; or
b. when temporary venting
					 of a container is necessary:
i. for the
					 proper operation of equipment; or
ii. to prevent dangerous situations, such as
					 buildup of extreme pressure.
5. A generator shall mark or label its
					 container with:
a. the words "Hazardous
					 Waste"; and
b. 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).
6. A generator who accumulates
					 either acute hazardous waste listed in LAC 33:V.4901.B or E or nonacute
					 hazardous waste in excess of the amounts listed in Subsection A of this Section
					 at or near any point of generation shall do the following:
a. comply within three consecutive calendar
					 days with the applicable central accumulation area regulations in LAC
					 33:V.1013.C or 1015.B, or
b. remove
					 the excess from the satellite accumulation area within three consecutive
					 calendar days to either:
i. a central
					 accumulation area operated in accordance with the applicable regulations in LAC
					 33:V.1013.C or 1015.B;
ii. an
					 on-site interim status or permitted treatment, storage, or disposal facility,
					 or
iii. an off-site designated
					 facility; and
c. during
					 the three consecutive calendar day period the generator shall continue to
					 comply with Paragraphs A. 1 -5 of this Section. (The generator shall mark or
					 label the container(s) holding the excess accumulation of hazardous waste with
					 the date the excess amount began accumulating.)
7. All satellite accumulation areas operated
					 by a small quantity generator shall meet the preparedness and prevention
					 regulations of LAC 33:V.1013.C8 and emergency procedures regulations of LAC
					 33:V.1013.C9.
8. All satellite
					 accumulation areas operated by a large quantity generator shall meet the
					 preparedness, prevention and emergency procedures in LAC 33:V.Chapter
					 10.Subchapter D.
