Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. A
generator may accumulate as much as 55 gallons of nonacute hazardous waste
and/or either one quart of liquid acute hazardous waste listed in LAC
33:V.4901.B or E, or 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of solid acute hazardous waste listed in
LAC 33:V.4901.B or E in containers at or near any point of generation where
waste initially accumulate which is under the control of the operator of the
process generating the waste, without a permit or interim status and without
complying with the requirements of LAC 33:V.Subpart 1, provided that all of the
conditions for exemption in this Section are met. A generator may comply with
the conditions for exemption in this Section instead of complying with the
conditions for exemption in LAC 33:V.1013.C. or 1015.B, except as required in
Paragraphs A. 7 and 8 of this Section. The conditions for exemption for
satellite accumulation are included in Paragraphs 1 -8 below.
1. If a container holding hazardous waste is
not in good condition, or if it begins to leak, the generator shall immediately
transfer the hazardous waste from this container to a container that is in good
condition and does not leak, or immediately transfer and manage the waste in a
central accumulation area operated in compliance with LAC 33:V.1013.Cor
1015.B.
2. The generator shall use
a container made of or lined with materials that will not react with, and are
otherwise compatible with, the hazardous waste to be accumulated, so that the
ability of the container to contain the waste is not impaired.
3. Special Standards for Incompatible Wastes
a. Incompatible wastes, or incompatible
wastes and materials (see LAC 33:V.199.Appendix B for examples), shall not be
placed in the same container, unless the generator complies with LAC
33:V.1517.B.
b. Hazardous waste
shall not be placed in an unwashed container that previously held an
incompatible waste or material, unless the generator complies with LAC
33:V.1517.B.
c. A container holding
a hazardous waste that is incompatible with any waste or other material
accumulated nearby in other containers shall be separated from the other
materials or protected from them by any practical means.
4. A container holding hazardous waste shall
be closed at all times during accumulation, except:
a. when adding, removing, or consolidating
waste; or
b. when temporary venting
of a container is necessary:
i. for the
proper operation of equipment; or
ii. to prevent dangerous situations, such as
buildup of extreme pressure.
5. A generator shall mark or label its
container with:
a. the words "Hazardous
Waste"; and
b. an indication of the
hazards of the contents (examples include, but are not limited to, the
applicable hazardous waste characteristic(s) (i.e., ignitable, corrosive,
reactive, toxic); hazard communication consistent with the U.S. Department of
Transportation requirements at 49 CFR part 172 subpart E (labeling) or subpart
F (placarding); a hazard statement or pictogram consistent with the U.S.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration Hazard Communication Standard at
29 CFR
1910.1200; or a chemical hazard label
consistent with the National Fire Protection Association Code 704).
6. A generator who accumulates
either acute hazardous waste listed in LAC 33:V.4901.B or E or nonacute
hazardous waste in excess of the amounts listed in Subsection A of this Section
at or near any point of generation shall do the following:
a. comply within three consecutive calendar
days with the applicable central accumulation area regulations in LAC
33:V.1013.C or 1015.B, or
b. remove
the excess from the satellite accumulation area within three consecutive
calendar days to either:
i. a central
accumulation area operated in accordance with the applicable regulations in LAC
33:V.1013.C or 1015.B;
ii. an
on-site interim status or permitted treatment, storage, or disposal facility,
or
iii. an off-site designated
facility; and
c. during
the three consecutive calendar day period the generator shall continue to
comply with Paragraphs A. 1 -5 of this Section. (The generator shall mark or
label the container(s) holding the excess accumulation of hazardous waste with
the date the excess amount began accumulating.)
7. All satellite accumulation areas operated
by a small quantity generator shall meet the preparedness and prevention
regulations of LAC 33:V.1013.C8 and emergency procedures regulations of LAC
33:V.1013.C9.
8. All satellite
accumulation areas operated by a large quantity generator shall meet the
preparedness, prevention and emergency procedures in LAC 33:V.Chapter
10.Subchapter D.
