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

Except as otherwise provided in LAC 33:V.1501, owners and operators of facilities that treat or store hazardous waste in waste piles must provide the following additional information:

A. a list of hazardous wastes placed or to be placed in each waste pile;

B. if an exemption is sought to LAC 33:V.2303 and LAC 33:V. Chapter 33 as provided by LAC 33:V.2301.C, an explanation of how the standards of LAC 33:V.2301.C will be complied with;

C. detailed plans and an engineering report describing how the pile is or will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to meet the requirements of LAC 33:V.2303. This submission must address the following items as specified in LAC 33:V.2303:

1. the liner system (except for an existing portion of a pile), if the waste pile must meet the requirements of LAC 33:V.2303.A. If an exemption from the requirement for a liner is sought, as provided by LAC 33:V.2303.B, the owner or operator must submit detailed plans and engineering and hydrogeologic reports, as applicable, describing alternate design and operating practices that will, in conjunction with location aspects, prevent the migration of any hazardous constituent into the groundwater or surface water at any future time:
a. the double liner and leak (leachate) detection, collection, and removal system, if the waste pile must meet the requirements of LAC 33:V.2303.C. If an exemption from the requirements for double liners and a leak detection, collection, and removal system or alternative design is sought as provided by LAC 33:V.2303.D, E, or F, submit appropriate information;

b. if the leak detection system is located in a saturated zone, submit detailed plans and an engineering report explaining the leak detection system design and operation and the location of the saturated zone in relation to the leak detection system;

c. the construction quality assurance (CQA) plan if required under LAC 33:V.1504;

d. proposed action leakage rate, with rationale, if required under LAC 33:V.2304 and response action plan, if required under LAC 33:V.2306;

2. control of run-on;

3. control of run-off;

4. management of collection and holding units associated with run-on and run-off control systems; and

5. control of wind dispersal of particulate matter, where applicable;

D. if an exemption from LAC 33:V. Chapter 33 is sought as provided by LAC 33:V.2303 or 2307 submit detailed plans and an engineering report describing how the requirements of LAC 33:V.2303.B or 2307 will be complied with;

E. a description of how each waste pile, including the double liner system, leachate collection and removal system, leak detection system, cover system, and appurtenance for control of run-on and run-off, will be inspected in order to meet the requirements of LAC 33:V.2309.A, B, and C. This information must be included in the inspection plan submitted under LAC 33:V.517.G;

F. if treatment is carried out on or in the pile, details of the process and equipment used, and the nature and quality of the residuals;

G. if ignitable or reactive wastes are to be placed in a waste pile, an explanation of how the requirements of LAC 33:V.2311 will be complied with;

H. if incompatible wastes, or incompatible wastes and materials will be placed in a waste pile, an explanation of how LAC 33:V.2313 will be complied with;

I. a description of how hazardous waste residues and contaminated materials will be removed from the waste pile at closure, as required under LAC 33:V.2315.A. For any waste not to be removed from the waste pile upon closure, this owner or operator must submit detailed plans and an engineering report describing how LAC 33:V.2521.A and B will be complied with;

J. a waste management plan for EPA Hazardous Waste Numbers F020, F021, F022, F023, F026 and F027 describing how a waste pile that is not enclosed (as defined in LAC 33:V.2301.C) is or will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to meet the requirements of LAC 33:V.2317. This submission must address the following items:

1. the volume, physical, and chemical characteristics of the wastes to be disposed in the waste pile, including their potential to migrate through soil or to volatilize or escape into the atmosphere;

2. the attenuative properties of underlying and surrounding soils or other materials;

3. the mobilizing properties of other materials codisposed with these wastes; and

4. the effectiveness of additional treatment, design, or monitoring techniques.
