					 provisions of LAC 33:V.1751.C.1 from using air emission controls in accordance
					 with standards specified in LAC 33:V.4727, as applicable to the waste
					 management unit.
a. An initial determination
					 of the average VO concentration of the waste stream shall be made before the
					 first time any portion of the material in the hazardous waste stream is placed
					 in a waste management unit exempted under the provisions of LAC 33:V.1751.C.1
					 from using air emission controls, and thereafter, an initial determination of
					 the average VO concentration of the waste stream shall be made for each
					 averaging period that a hazardous waste is managed in the unit.
b. Perform a new waste determination whenever
					 changes to the source generating the waste stream are reasonably likely to
					 cause the average VO concentration of the hazardous waste to increase to a
					 level that is equal to or greater than the applicable VO concentration limits
					 specified in LAC 33:V.1751.

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. This Section applies to each closed-vent
					 system and control device installed and operated by the owner or operator to
					 control air emissions in accordance with standards of this
					 Subchapter.
B. The closed-vent
					 system shall meet the following requirements:
1. shall route the gases, vapors, and fumes
					 emitted from the hazardous waste in the waste management unit to a control
					 device that meets the requirements specified in Subsection C of this
					 Section;
2. shall be designed and
					 operated in accordance with the requirements specified in LAC
					 33:V.1709.K;
3. in the case when
					 the closed-vent system includes bypass devices that could be used to divert the
					 gas or vapor stream to the atmosphere before entering the control device, each
					 bypass device shall be equipped with either a flow indicator as specified in
					 Subparagraph B.3.a of this Section or a seal or locking device as specified in
					 Subparagraph B.3.b of this Section. For the purpose of complying with this
					 Paragraph, low leg drains, high point bleeds, analyzer vents, open-ended valves
					 or lines, spring-loaded pressure-relief valves, and other fittings used for
					 safety purposes are not considered to be bypass devices:
a. if a flow indicator is used to comply with
					 this Subsection, the indicator shall be installed at the inlet to the bypass
					 line used to divert gases and vapors from the closed-vent system to the
					 atmosphere at a point upstream of the control device inlet. For this paragraph,
					 a flow indicator means a device that indicates the presence of either gas or
					 vapor flow in the bypass line;
b.
					 if a seal or locking device is used to comply with this Subsection, the device
					 shall be placed on the mechanism by which the bypass device position is
					 controlled (e.g., valve handle, damper lever) when the bypass device is in the
					 closed position such that the bypass device cannot be opened without breaking
					 the seal or removing the lock. Examples of such devices include, but are not
					 limited to, a car-seal or a lock-and-key configuration valve. The owner or
					 operator shall visually inspect the seal or closure mechanism at least once
					 every month to verify that the bypass mechanism is maintained in the closed
					 position;
4. shall be
					 inspected and monitored by the owner or operator in accordance with the
					 procedure specified in LAC 33:V.1709.L.

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-1801 - Applicability

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The requirements
				  of this Section apply to owners or operators who store or treat hazardous waste
				  in units designed and operated under LAC 33:V.1802. These provisions became
				  effective on February 18, 1993, although an owner or operator may have notified
				  EPA or the administrative authority of his intent to be bound by this Section
				  or its federal equivalent at an earlier time. The owner or operator is not
				  subject to the definition of land disposal in LAC 33:V.2203 or
				  R.S.
				  30:2193 provided that the unit:
1. is a completely enclosed, self-supporting
				  structure that is designed and constructed of manmade 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;
2. has a primary barrier
				  that is designed to be sufficiently durable to withstand the movement of
				  personnel, wastes, and handling equipment within the unit;
3. when used to manage liquids:
a. has a primary barrier designed and
				  constructed of materials to prevent migration of hazardous constituents into
				  the barrier;
b. has a liquid
				  collection system designed and constructed of materials to minimize the
				  accumulation of liquid on the primary barrier; and
c. has a secondary containment system
				  designed and constructed of materials to prevent migration of hazardous
				  constituents into the barrier, with a leak detection and liquid collection
				  system capable of detecting, collecting, and removing leaks of hazardous
				  constituents at the earliest practicable time, unless the unit has been granted
				  a variance from the secondary containment system requirements under LAC
				  33:V.1802.B.4;
4. has
				  controls as needed to permit fugitive dust emissions to meet the no visible
				  emission standard in LAC 33:V.1802.C.1.d; and
5. has been designed and is operated to
				  ensure containment and prevent the tracking of materials from the unit by
				  personnel or equipment.
