Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. Container
storage areas must have a containment system that is designed and operated in
accordance with LAC 33:V.2111.B except as otherwise provided by LAC
33:V.2111.C.
B. A containment
system must be designed and operated as follows:
1. a base must underlie the containers which
is free of cracks or gaps and is sufficiently impervious to contain leaks,
spills, and accumulated precipitation until the collected material is detected
and removed;
2. the base must be
sloped or the containment system must be otherwise designed and operated to
drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks, spills, or precipitation, unless
the containers are elevated or are otherwise protected from contact with
accumulated liquids;
3. the
containment system must have sufficient capacity to contain 10 percent of the
volume of containers or the volume of the largest container, whichever is
greater. Containers that do not contain free liquids need not be considered in
this determination;
4. run-on into
the containment system must be prevented unless the collection system has
sufficient excess capacity in addition to that required in LAC 33:V.2111.B.3 to
contain any run-on which might enter the system;
5. spilled or leaked waste and accumulated
precipitation must be removed from the sump or collection area in as timely a
manner as is necessary to prevent overflow of the collection system;
and
6. if the collected material is
a hazardous waste, it must be managed as a hazardous waste in accordance with
all applicable requirements.
C. Storage areas that store containers
holding only wastes that do not contain free liquids need not have a
containment system defined by LAC 33:V.2111.B, except as provided by LAC
33:V.2111.D or provided that:
1. the storage
area is sloped or is otherwise designed and operated to drain and remove liquid
resulting from precipitation; or
2.
the containers are elevated or are otherwise protected from contact with
accumulated liquid.
D.
Storage areas that store containers holding the wastes listed below must have a
containment system defined by LAC 33:V.2111.B even when these wastes do not
contain free liquids:
F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027.
