Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. The regulations in this Chapter apply to owners and operators of all hazardous waste facilities that store hazardous waste in containers, except as otherwise provided in LAC 33:V.1501. Under the definition of empty container in LAC 33:V.109 and 4901.D.3, if a hazardous waste is emptied from a container the residue remaining in the container is not considered a hazardous waste if the container meets the definition of empty container as defined in LAC 33:V.109. In that event, management of the container is exempt from the requirements of this Chapter.
B. Containers not exempted from these regulations shall be considered hazardous and shall be disposed of or treated by an acceptable waste disposal or treatment method.
C. If a hazardous waste is emptied from a container, the residue remaining in the container is not considered a hazardous waste if the container is empty as defined in LAC 33:V.109. In that event, management of the container is exempt from the requirements of this Chapter.
D. Empty containers sent to a reclaimer are considered product, and thus are not subject to these rules and regulations. Residue from the reclaimer's operations must be disposed of in a permitted facility.
E. The storage of hazardous waste prohibited from land disposal must also be in accordance with the requirements of LAC 33:V.2205.
