Subpart 1 - Department of Environmental Quality-Hazardous Waste
Chapter 24 - Hazardous Waste Munitions and Explosives Storage
Section V-2405 - Closure and Post-Closure Care

A. At closure of a magazine or unit that stored hazardous waste under this Chapter, the owner or operator must remove or decontaminate all waste residues, contaminated containment system components, contaminated subsoils, and structures and equipment contaminated with waste and manage them as hazardous waste unless LAC 33:V.109.Hazardous Waste.6 applies. The closure plan, closure activities, cost estimates for closure, and financial responsibility for magazines or units must meet all of the requirements specified in LAC 33:V.Chapters 35 and 37, except that the owner or operator may defer closure of the unit as long as it remains in service as a munitions or explosives magazine or storage unit.

B. If, after removing or decontaminating all residues and making all reasonable efforts to effect removal or decontamination of contaminated components, subsoils, structures, and equipment as required in Subsection A of this Section, the owner or operator finds that not all contaminated subsoils can be practicably removed or decontaminated, he or she must close the facility and perform post-closure care in accordance with the closure and post-closure requirements that apply to landfills (LAC 33:V.2521).
