Louisiana Administrative Code
Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
Part I - Office of the Secretary
Subpart 1 - Departmental Administrative Procedures
Chapter 19 - Facility Name and Ownership/Operator Changes Process
Section I-1901 - Applicability

A. This Chapter applies to name and ownership/operator changes at facilities that are under the purview of the air, water, hazardous waste, and solid waste regulatory programs. Written notifications of these changes shall be submitted to the department for facilities applying for or holding any air permits, Louisiana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (LPDES) permits, hazardous waste permits, and solid waste permits. A name, ownership, and/or operator change will be considered a minor permitting action or administrative amendment.

B. When the ownership of a facility holding an LPDES permit changes and there is no change to the operator of that facility, a permit transfer is not required. Notification of the change of ownership is still required in accordance with LAC 33:I.1905.

C. The terms administratively complete, administrative amendment, financial assurance, and minor modification as used in this Chapter shall have the same meaning and intent as when used in LAC 33:Parts III, V, VII, and IX.

D. This Chapter does not supersede any otherwise applicable requirements addressing administrative amendments or modifications in the air, LPDES, hazardous waste, and solid waste programs, in particular, applicable MACT rules or acid rain program requirements.
