Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
Owners and operators of drip pads must ensure that the pads
					 are designed, installed, and operated in accordance with Subsection A or C of
					 this Section.
A. Drip pads must:
1. be constructed of non-earthen materials,
				  excluding wood and non-structurally supported asphalt;
2. be sloped to free-drain treated wood
				  drippage, rain and other waters, or solutions of drippage and water or other
				  wastes to the associated collection system;
3. have a curb or berm around the
				  perimeter;
4. have a hydraulic
				  conductivity of less than or equal to 1 x 10-7
				  centimeters per second, e.g., existing concrete drip pads must be sealed,
				  coated, or covered with a surface material with a hydraulic conductivity of
				  less than or equal to 1 x 10-7 centimeters per
				  second such that the entire surface on which drippage occurs or across which it
				  may run is capable of containing such drippage and mixtures of drippage and
				  precipitation, materials, or other wastes while being routed to an associated
				  collection system. This surface material must be maintained free of cracks and
				  gaps that could adversely affect its hydraulic conductivity, and the material
				  must be chemically compatible with the preservatives that contact the drip pad.
				  The requirements of this provision apply only to existing drip pads and those
				  drip pads for which the owner or operator elects to comply with LAC 33:V.2805
				  (except LAC 33:V.2805.C), 2807, and 2809 instead of LAC 33:V.2805 (except LAC
				  33:V.2805.A.4 and B), 2807, and 2809; and
5. be of sufficient structural strength and
				  thickness to prevent failure due to physical contact, climatic conditions, the
				  stress of daily operations, e.g., variable and moving loads such as vehicle
				  traffic, movement of wood, etc.
NOTE: The administrative authority will generally consider
					 applicable standards established by professional organizations generally
					 recognized by the industry such as the American Concrete Institute (ACI) or the
					 American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) in judging the structural
					 integrity requirement of this Subsection.
Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part V - Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Materials › Subpart 1 - Department of Environmental Quality-Hazardous Waste › Chapter 28 - Drip Pads › Section V-2807 - Inspections

A. During
				  construction or installation, liners 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, liners must be inspected and
				  certified as meeting the requirements of LAC 33:V.2805 by an independent,
				  qualified professional engineer. The certification must be maintained at the
				  facility as part of the facility operating record. After installation, liners
				  and covers must be inspected to ensure tight seams and joints and the absence
				  of tears, punctures, or blisters.
B. While a drip pad is in operation, it must
				  be inspected weekly and after storms to detect evidence of any of the
				  following:
1. deterioration, malfunctions or
				  improper operation of run-on and run-off control systems;

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. At closure, the
				  owner or operator must remove or decontaminate all waste residues, contaminated
				  containment system components (pad, liners, etc.), contaminated subsoils, and
				  structures and equipment contaminated with waste and leakage, and manage them
				  as hazardous waste.
B. If, after
				  removing or decontaminating all residues and making all reasonable efforts to
				  effect removal or decontamination of contaminated components, subsoils,
				  structures, and equipment as required in Subsection A of this Section, the
				  owner or operator finds that not all contaminated subsoils can be practicably
				  removed or decontaminated, he must either:
1.
				  close the facility and perform post-closure care in accordance with closure and
				  post-closure care requirements that apply to landfills (LAC 33:V.2521). For
				  permitted units, the requirement to have a permit continues throughout the
				  post-closure period. In addition, for the purpose of closure, post-closure, and
				  financial responsibility, such a drip pad is then considered to be a landfill,
				  and the owner or operator must meet all of the requirements for landfills
				  specified in LAC 33:V.Chapters 35 and 37; or
2. perform a risk assessment to demonstrate
				  that closure with the remaining contaminant levels is protective of human
				  health and the environment in accordance with LAC 33:I.Chapter 13. Any such
				  risk assessment is subject to approval by the administrative authority and must
				  demonstrate that post-closure care is not necessary to adequately protect human
				  health and the environment.

Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part V - Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Materials › Subpart 1 - Department of Environmental Quality-Hazardous Waste › Chapter 29 - Surface Impoundments › Section V-2904 - Action Leakage Rate

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The
				  administrative authority shall approve an action leakage rate for surface
				  impoundment units subject to LAC 33:V.2903.J or K. 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.2907.E 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, if the unit is closed in
				  accordance with LAC 33:V.2911.B, monthly during the post-closure care period
				  when monthly monitoring is required under LAC 33:V.2907.E.

A. The
				  owner or operator of surface impoundment units subject to LAC 33:V.2903.J or K
				  must have an approved response action plan before receipt of waste. The
				  response action plan must set forth the actions to be taken if the action
				  leakage rate has been exceeded. At a minimum, the response action plan must
				  describe the actions specified in LAC 33:V.2906.B.
B. If the flow rate into the leak detection
				  system exceeds the action leakage rate for any sump, the owner or operator
				  must:
1. 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 longer-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
				  Paragraphs B.3-5 of this Section, the results of actions taken, and remedial
				  actions planned. Monthly thereafter, as long as the flow rate in the leak
				  detection system exceeds the action leakage rate, the owner or operator must
				  submit to the Office of Environmental Services a report summarizing the results
				  of any remedial actions taken and actions planned.

				  standards provided in this Section define the acceptable management of
				  hazardous waste during the period of interim status. The standards of this
				  Section apply to owners and operators of facilities that are in operation or
				  under construction on the effective date of this Section until either a permit
				  is issued under LAC 33:V.3009-3015 or until the closure responsibilities
				  identified in this Section are fulfilled.
b. Existing or in existence means a boiler or
				  industrial furnace that, on or before August 21, 1991, is either in operation
				  burning or processing hazardous waste or for which construction (including the
				  ancillary facilities to burn to process the hazardous waste) has commenced. A
				  facility has commenced construction if the owner or operator has obtained the
				  federal, state, and local approvals or permits necessary to begin physical
				  construction; and either:
i. a continuous
				  on-site, physical construction program has begun; or
ii. the owner or operator has entered into
				  contractual obligations, which cannot be canceled or modified without
				  substantial loss, for physical construction of the facility to be completed
				  within a reasonable time.
c. If a boiler or industrial furnace is
				  located at a facility that already has a permit or interim status, then the
				  facility must comply with the applicable regulations dealing with permit
				  modifications in LAC 33:V.4303 or changes in interim status in LAC

A. Principal organic hazardous constituents
				  (POHCs) in the waste feed must be treated to the extent required by the
				  performance standard of LAC 33:V.3111.
B. One or more POHCs will be specified in the
				  facility's permit from among those constituents listed in LAC 33:V.3105, Table
				  1 for each waste feed to be burned. This specification will be based on the
				  degree of difficulty of incineration of the organic constituents in the waste,
				  and on their concentration or mass in the waste feed, considering the results
				  of waste analyses and trial burns, or alternative data submitted with the
				  facility's permit application. Organic constituents which represent the
				  greatest degree of difficulty of incineration will be those most likely to be
				  designated as POHCs. Constituents are more likely to be designated as POHCs if
				  they are present in large quantities or concentrations in the waste.
C. Trial POHCs will be designated for
				  performance of trial burns in accordance with the procedure specified in LAC
				  33:V.3115 for obtaining trial burn permits.
