Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
The formal permit application information requirements
						presented in this Section reflect the standards promulgated in LAC 33:V.Subpart
						1. These information requirements are necessary in order to determine
						compliance with all standards. Responses and exhibits shall be numbered
						sequentially according to the technical standards. The permit application must
						describe how the facility will comply with each of the Sections of LAC
						33:V.Chapters 15-37 and 41. Information required in the formal permit
						application shall be submitted to the administrative authority and signed in
						accordance with requirements in LAC 33:V.509. The description must include
						appropriate design information (calculations, drawings, specifications, data,
						etc.) and administrative details (plans, flow charts, decision trees, manpower
						projections, operating instructions, etc.) to permit the administrative
						authority to determine the adequacy of the hazardous waste permit application.
						Certain technical data, such as design drawings, specifications, and
						engineering studies, shall be certified by a Louisiana registered professional
						engineer. If a Section does not apply, the permit application must state it
						does not apply and why it does not apply. This information is to be submitted
						using the same numbering system and in the same order used in these
						regulations:
A. a general description
					 of the facility including hours of operation/day and days/week;
B. a topographic map or maps showing a
					 distance of 1,000 feet around the facility at a scale of 2.5 centimeters (1
					 inch) equal to not more than 61.0 meters (200 feet); contours must be shown on
					 the map. The contour interval must be sufficient to clearly show the pattern of
					 surface water flow in the vicinity of and from each operational unit of the
					 facility. The map or maps shall clearly show the following:
1. map scale and date;
2. orientation of the map (north
					 arrow);
3. 100-year floodplain
					 area;
COMMENT: Owners and operators of all facilities shall
						provide an identification of whether the facility is located within a 100-year
						floodplain and a flood hazard map (Corps of Engineers or Department of Housing
						and Urban Development). This identification must indicate the source of data
						for such determination and include a copy of the relevant Federal Insurance
						Administration (FIA) flood map, if used. Where maps for the National Flood
						Insurance Program produced by FIA of the Federal Emergency Management Agency
						are available, they will normally be determinative of whether a facility is
						located within or outside of the 100-year floodplain. However, where the FIA
						map excludes an area (usually areas of the floodplain less than 200 feet in
						width), these areas must be considered and a determination made as to whether
						they are in the 100-year floodplain. Where FIA maps are not available for a
						proposed facility location, the owner or operator must use equivalent mapping
						techniques to determine if the facility is within the 100-year floodplain, and
						if so located, what the 100-year flood elevation would be.
4. surface waters including intermittent
					 streams and surface flow through the site and a map of the potentiometric
					 surface for aquifers within 100 feet of lowest elevation of disposal cells, or
					 other facilities containing hazardous waste, from 1,000 feet upstream to 1,000
					 feet downstream, where practicable. Included should be a general area map and
					 cross sections indicating the extent of freshwater sands, and the degree of
					 isolation from waste sources by confining layers of clay;
5. surrounding land uses (residential,
					 commercial, agricultural, recreational, public) such as schools, day care
					 centers, hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, libraries, etc.;
COMMENT: A map or aerial photograph showing surrounding
						land use for the area within 2 miles of the site is required.
6. legal boundaries of the TSD facility
					 site;
7. access control (fences,
					 gates);
8. injection and withdrawal
					 wells both on site and off site;
COMMENT: A map of all known wells, operating or
						abandoned, on the site and within 2 miles of the site perimeter as required in
						LAC 33:V.515.A.15, including the depth of wells, amount of pumpage, water level
						depth (annual maximum and minimum), and water analysis from the water well
						nearest the disposal site is also required.
9. the proposed location of groundwater
					 monitoring wells as required under LAC 33:V.3315.A and B;
10. the proposed
point of
					 compliance
as defined under LAC 33:V.3311;
11. buildings, treatment, storage, or
					 disposal operations; or other structures (recreation areas, runoff control
					 systems, access and internal roads, storm sanitary, and process sewerage
					 systems, loading and unloading areas, fire control facilities, utilities,
					 security facilities, etc.);
12.
					 barriers for drainage or flood control;
13. location of operational units within the
					 TSD facility site, where hazardous waste is (or will be) treated, stored, or
					 disposed of (including equipment cleanup areas). (For large TSD facilities, the
					 administrative authority may allow the use of other scales on a case-by-case
					 basis); and
14. natural features
					 affecting off-site drainage patterns, transportation, utilities, and location
					 of effluent discharges;
