Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A.
				Purpose. The purpose of this Chapter is to establish an ambient air standard
				for odors.
B. Scope. This Section
				is applicable to all sources which emit odorous substances into the ambient air
				except those exempted in LAC 33:III.2901.E.
C. Definitions
Odor Dilution Ratio
-the dilution of a
				  sample required to reach a given odor intensity level, detectability point,
				  sensory target, etc. This is represented by Zt.
Zt =
				  Co/Ct
where:
Co = the odorant concentration (of
				  the sample); and
Ct = the odorant concentration when
				  some sensory target has been reached, such as the odor threshold.
Perceived Odor Intensity
-the intensity of
				  an odor sensation which is independent of the knowledge of the odorant
				  concentration.
D. Standard. Limit on
				Odorous Substances at or beyond Property Lines. A person shall not discharge an
				odorous substance which causes a perceived odor intensity of six or greater on
				the specified eight point butanol scale when determined by the department's
				test method. (Method 41)
E.
				Exemptions. The following buildings, materials and operations are exempted from
				the provisions of this regulation:
1. single
				family dwellings;
2.
				restaurants;
3. other
				establishments for the purpose of preparing food for human
				consumption;
4. materials odorized
				for safety purposes;
5. materials
				possessing strong odors for reasons of public health and welfare where no
				suitable substitute is available and where best modern practices are
				employed;
6. agricultural, fiber,
				timber, poultry, seafood or fisheries production, unless such odors are

				these processes or byproducts when using applicable air pollution control
				devices; and
7. emission points
				regulated under the Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) emission standard (LAC
				33:III.2301.D.3).

				  waste being listed as hazardous (as defined in LAC 33:V.109 or as determined by
				  the department on a case-by-case basis, e.g., creosote) remaining in the medium
				  meets the appropriate standards described in this Section; and
2. the medium no longer exhibits any of the
				  characteristics of hazardous waste identified in LAC 33:V.4903. Land disposal
				  treatment standards (LAC 33:V.2299) shall continue to apply to contaminated
				  environmental media that are treated and then determined to no longer contain
				  hazardous waste. Contaminated environmental media determined not to contain any
				  hazardous waste prior to treatment are not subject to any RCRA Subtitle C
				  requirement, including the standards in LAC 33:V.2299.

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A.
				  General Application Requirements
1. Permit
				  Application. Any person who is required to have a permit (including new
				  applicants and permittees with expiring permits) shall complete, sign, and
				  submit an application to the Office of Environmental Services, as described in
				  this Section and LAC 33:V.4301, 4303, and 4305. Persons currently authorized
				  with interim status shall apply for permits when required by the administrative
				  authority. Persons covered by permits by rule (LAC 33:V.305.D) need not apply.
				  Procedures for applications, issuance, and administration of emergency permits
				  are found exclusively in LAC 33:V.701 and 703. Procedures for application,
				  issuance, and administration of research, development, and demonstration
				  permits are found exclusively in LAC 33:V.329.
2. No later than 90 days after the
				  promulgation or revision of these regulations, all generators and transporters
				  of hazardous waste, and all owners or operators of hazardous waste treatment,
				  storage, or disposal facilities must file or have on file a notification of
				  that activity using Notification Form HW-1, available from the Office of
				  Environmental Services or through the department's website. For generators of
				  hazardous waste, the Notification Form HW-1 shall be deemed a registration upon
				  acceptance and approval by the administrative authority.
3. The administrative authority shall not
				  begin the processing of a permit until the applicant has fully complied with
				  the application requirements for that permit. See this Chapter and LAC
				  33:V.Chapter 5 for permit standards and requirements for the contents of permit

Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part V - Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Materials › Subpart 1 - Department of Environmental Quality-Hazardous Waste › Chapter 3 - General Conditions for Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility Permits › Section V-305 - Scope of the Permit

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. A
				  permit is required for the treatment, storage, and disposal of any hazardous
				  waste as identified or listed in LAC 33:V.Chapter 49. The terms
treatment
,
storage
,
disposal
, and
hazardous waste
are defined in
				  LAC 33:V.109. Owners and operators of hazardous waste management units must
				  have permits during the active life (including the closure period) of the unit.
				  Owners or operators of surface impoundments, landfills, land treatment units,
				  and waste pile units that received wastes after July 26, 1982, or that
				  certified closure (according to LAC 33:V.4387) after January 26, 1983, must
				  have post-closure permits, unless they demonstrate closure by removal or
				  decontamination as provided under Subsections F and G of this Section, or
				  obtain an enforceable document in lieu of a post-closure permit, as provided
				  under Subsection H of this Section. If a post-closure permit is required, the
				  permit must address applicable groundwater monitoring, unsaturated zone
				  monitoring, corrective action, and post-closure care requirements. The denial
				  of a permit for the active life of a hazardous waste management facility or
				  unit does not affect the requirement to obtain a post-closure permit under this
				  Section.
B. Specific Inclusions.
				  Owners and operators of certain facilities require hazardous waste permits as
				  well as permits under other programs for certain aspects of the facility
				  operation. Permits are required for:
1.
				  facilities which treat, store, and/or dispose of hazardous wastes controlled by
				  this program, as listed in LAC 33:V.105, less listed exclusions in LAC
				  33:V.105.D;
2. all associated
				  surface facilities for injection wells that treat, store, and/or dispose of
				  hazardous waste;
3. treatment,
				  storage, or disposal of hazardous waste at facilities requiring a National
				  Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit;
4. barges or vessels that dispose of
				  hazardous waste under a valid federal permit by ocean disposal and onshore
				  hazardous waste treatment, or storage facilities associated with an ocean
				  disposal operation. However, the facility will be deemed to have a permit for
				  ocean disposal from the barge or vessel itself if it complies with the
				  requirements of LAC 33:V.305.C.
