Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A.
Hazardous Waste Chemical and Physical Analysis
1. Before an owner or operator treats,
stores, or disposes of any hazardous waste, or non-hazardous wastes if
applicable under LAC 33:V.3513.D, he or she must obtain a detailed chemical and
physical analysis of a representative sample of the waste. At a minimum, this
analysis must contain all the information which must be known to treat, store,
or dispose of the waste in accordance with all requirements of LAC
33:V.Chapters 15 and 22.
2. The
analysis may include data developed under LAC 33:V.Chapter 49 and existing
published or documented data on the hazardous waste or on hazardous waste
generated from similar processes.
COMMENT: For example, the facility's records of analyses
performed on the waste before the effective date of these regulations, or
studies conducted on hazardous waste generated from processes similar to that
which generated the waste to be managed at the facility, may be included in the
data base required to comply with Paragraph A.1 of this Section. The owner or
operator of an off-site facility may arrange for the generator of the hazardous
waste to supply part of the information required by Paragraph A.1 of this
Section, except as otherwise specified in LAC 33:V.2247.A and A.1. If the
generator does not supply the information and the owner or operator chooses to
accept a hazardous waste, the owner or operator is responsible for obtaining
the information required to comply with this Section.
3. The analysis must be repeated as necessary
to ensure that it is accurate and up to date. At a minimum, the analysis must
be repeated:
a. when the owner or operator is
notified, or has reason to believe, that the process or operation generating
the hazardous waste or nonhazardous waste if applicable under LAC 33:V.3513.D,
has changed; and
b. for off-site
facilities, when the results of the inspection required in LAC 33:V.1519.A.4
indicate that the hazardous waste received at the facility does not match the
waste designated in the accompanying manifest or shipping paper.
4. The owner or operator of an
off-site facility must inspect and, if necessary, analyze each hazardous waste
movement received at the facility to determine whether it matches the identity
of the waste specified on the accompanying manifest or shipping
paper.
B. The owner or
operator must develop and follow a written waste analysis plan that describes
the procedures that he or she will carry out to comply with LAC 33:V.1519.A. He
or she must keep this plan at the facility. At a minimum, the plan must
specify:
1. the parameters for which each
hazardous waste, or non-hazardous waste if applicable under LAC 33:V.3513.D,
will be analyzed and the rationale for the selection of these parameters (i.e.,
how analysis for these parameters will provide sufficient information on the
waste's properties to comply with LAC 33:V.1519.A);
2. the test methods as specified in
Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical
Methods, EPA Publication SW-846 as incorporated by reference at LAC
33:V.110, or an equivalent method approved by the administrative authority,
which will be used to test for these parameters; and
3. the sampling method which will be used to
obtain a representative sample of the waste to be analyzed. A representative
sample may be obtained using a method approved by the administrative authority;
COMMENT: See LAC 33:V.105.I for related discussion.
4. the plan must further specify
the frequency with which the initial analysis of the waste will be reviewed or
repeated to ensure that the analysis is accurate and up to date;
5. the Quality Assurance and Quality Control
(QA/QC) procedures used to ensure the waste sampling and analysis are
satisfactory;
6. the plan must
further specify for off-site facilities the waste analyses that hazardous waste
generators have agreed to supply; and
7. where applicable, the methods which will
be used to meet the additional waste analysis requirements for specific waste
management methods as specified in LAC 33:V.1517, 1711.D, 1741.D, 1753, 2515,
3107, and 2245;
8. for surface
impoundments exempted from land disposal prohibitions under LAC 33:V.2237, the
procedures and schedules for:
a. the sampling
of impoundment contents;
b. the
analysis of test data; and
c. the
annual removal of residues which are not delisted under LAC 33:V.105.M or which
exhibit a characteristic of hazardous waste and either:
i. do not meet applicable treatment standards
of LAC 33:V.Chapter 22.Subchapters A and B; or
ii. where no treatment standards have been
established:
(a). such residues are prohibited
from land disposal under LAC 33:V.2213; or
(b). such residues are prohibited from land
disposal under LAC 33:V.2215; and
9. for owners and operators seeking an
exemption to the air emission standards of LAC 33:V.Chapter 17. Subchapter C in
accordance with LAC 33:V.1751:
a. if direct
measurement is used for the waste determination, the procedures and schedules
for waste sampling and analysis, and the results of the analysis of test data
to verify the exemption; or
b. if
knowledge of the waste is used for the waste determination, any information
prepared by the facility owner or operator or by the generator of the hazardous
waste, if the waste is received from off-site, that is used as the basis for
knowledge of the waste.
C. For off-site facilities, the required
waste analysis plan must also specify the procedures which will be used to
inspect and, if necessary, analyze each movement of hazardous waste received at
the facility to ensure that it matches the identity of the waste designated on
the accompanying manifest or shipping paper. At a minimum, the plan must
describe:
1. the procedures which will be
used to determine the identity of each movement of waste managed at the
facility; and
2. the sampling
method which will be used to obtain a representative sample of the waste to be
identified, if the identification method includes sampling; (LAC 33:V.517.C
requires that the waste analysis plan be submitted with Part II of the permit
application.)
3. the procedures
that the owner or operator of an off-site landfill receiving containerized
hazardous waste will use to determine whether a hazardous waste generator or
treater has added a biodegradable sorbent to the waste in the
container.
D.
Certification. All waste analysis plans must be certified by a Louisiana
licensed professional engineer (PE).
