Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. Waste Determination Procedure to Determine Average Volatile Organic (VO) Concentration of a Hazardous Waste at the Point of Waste Origination
1. An owner or operator
shall determine the average VO concentration at the point of waste origination
for each hazardous waste placed in a waste management unit exempted under the
provisions of LAC 33:V.1751.C.1 from using air emission controls in accordance
with standards specified in LAC 33:V.4727, as applicable to the waste
management unit.
a. An initial determination
of the average VO concentration of the waste stream shall be made before the
first time any portion of the material in the hazardous waste stream is placed
in a waste management unit exempted under the provisions of LAC 33:V.1751.C.1
from using air emission controls, and thereafter, an initial determination of
the average VO concentration of the waste stream shall be made for each
averaging period that a hazardous waste is managed in the unit.
b. Perform a new waste determination whenever
changes to the source generating the waste stream are reasonably likely to
cause the average VO concentration of the hazardous waste to increase to a
level that is equal to or greater than the applicable VO concentration limits
specified in LAC 33:V.1751.
2. For a waste determination that is required
by Paragraph A.1 of this Section, the average VO concentration of a hazardous
waste at the point of waste origination shall be determined in accordance with
the procedures specified in LAC 33:V.4727.A.2-4.
B. Waste Determination Procedures for Treated Hazardous Waste
1. An owner or operator shall
perform the applicable waste determinations for each treated hazardous waste
placed in waste management units exempted under the provisions of LAC
33:V.1751.C.2.a-f from using air emission controls in accordance with standards
specified in LAC 33:V.1755-1761, as applicable to the waste management unit.
a. An initial determination of the average VO
concentration of the waste stream shall be made before the first time any
portion of the material in the treated waste stream is placed in the exempt
waste management unit, and thereafter, the information used for the waste
determination shall be updated at least once every 12 months following the date
of the initial waste determination.
b. Perform a new waste determination whenever
changes to the process generating or treating the waste stream are reasonably
likely to cause the average VO concentration of the hazardous waste to increase
to a level such that the applicable treatment conditions specified in LAC
33:V.1751.C.2 are not achieved.
2. The waste determination for a treated
hazardous waste shall be performed in accordance with the procedures specified
in LAC 33:V.4727, as applicable to the treated hazardous waste.
C. Procedure to Determine the Maximum Organic Vapor Pressure of a Hazardous Waste in a Tank
1. An owner or operator shall determine the
maximum organic vapor pressure for each hazardous waste placed in a tank using
Tank Level 1 controls in accordance with standards specified in LAC
33:V.1755.C.
2. The maximum organic
vapor pressure of the hazardous waste may be determined in accordance with the
procedures specified in LAC 33:V.4727.
D. The procedure for determining no detectable organic emissions for the purpose of complying with this Subchapter shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures specified in LAC 33:V.4727.
