Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. The requirements of this Subchapter apply to owners or operators who store or treat hazardous waste in units designed and operated under LAC 33:V.4703. The owner or operator is not subject to the definition of land disposal in RCRA Section 3004(k) provided that the unit:
1. is a completely
enclosed, self-supporting structure that is designed and constructed of manmade
materials of sufficient strength and thickness to support themselves, the waste
contents, and any personnel and heavy equipment that operate within the units
and to prevent failure due to pressure gradients, settlement, compression,
uplift, physical contact with the hazardous wastes to which they are exposed,
climatic conditions, and the stresses of daily operation, including the
movement of heavy equipment within the unit and contact of such equipment with
containment walls;
2. has a primary
barrier that is designed to be sufficiently durable to withstand the movement
of personnel and handling equipment within the unit;
3. if it is used to manage liquids, has:
a. a primary barrier designed and constructed
of materials to prevent migration of hazardous constituents into the
barrier;
b. a liquid collection
system designed and constructed of materials to minimize the accumulation of
liquid on the primary barrier; and
c. a secondary containment system designed
and constructed of materials to prevent migration of hazardous constituents
into the barrier, with a leak detection and liquid collection system capable of
detecting, collecting, and removing leaks of hazardous constituents at the
earliest possible time, unless the unit has been granted a variance from the
secondary containment system requirements under LAC 33:V.4703.B.4;
4. has controls as needed to
prevent fugitive dust emissions; and
5. is designed and operated to ensure
containment and prevent the tracking of materials out of the unit by personnel
or equipment.
