Section V-3501 - Applicability

Universal Citation: LA Admin Code V-3501

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. Closure and post-closure procedures ensure protection of the public and ecology against leakage of hazardous wastes to the environment from closed facilities which formerly stored, treated, and/or disposed of such wastes.

B. Except as LAC 33:V.1501 provides otherwise, LAC 33:V.3503-3517 (which concern closure) apply to all hazardous waste facilities in operation or under construction as of the effective date of LAC 33:V.Subpart 1 and to all hazardous waste facilities permitted under LAC 33:V.Subpart 1, as applicable.

C. LAC 33:V.3519, 3521, 3523, 3525 and 3527 (post-closure care) apply to the owners and operators of:

1. all hazardous waste disposal facilities;

2. waste piles, surface impoundments, or any facility from which the owner or operator intends to remove waste at closure, to the extent that these sections are made applicable to such facilities in LAC 33:V.2315 and 2911;

3. tank systems that are required under LAC 33:V.1915 to meet the requirements for landfills; and

4. containment buildings that are required under LAC 33:V.1803 to meet the requirements for landfills.

D. The administrative authority may replace all or part of the requirements of this Chapter (and the unit-specific standards referenced in LAC 33:V.3507.A.3 applying to a regulated unit), with alternative requirements set out in a permit or in an enforceable document (as defined in LAC 33:V.305.H), where the administrative authority determines that:

1. the regulated unit is situated among solid waste management units (or areas of concern), a release has occurred, and both the regulated unit and one or more solid waste management unit(s) (or areas of concern) are likely to have contributed to the release; and

2. it is not necessary to apply the closure requirements of this Chapter (and those referenced herein) because the alternative requirements will protect human health and the environment and will satisfy the closure performance standard of LAC 33:V.3507.A.1 and 2.
